Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 118

Lance couldn't help but feel like crying as he recalled the past few weeks' events. That night in the jungle, he had run for his life, terrified of being murdered. The darkness had enveloped him and his two subordinates, and when they stumbled into a ravine, they found themselves helplessly tied up by those bandits. They endured two days of hunger before being discovered by local villagers harvesting mushrooms, which resulted in their lives being saved.

He had only just returned to Khogend last night after spending nearly a month in the village's hospital.

All in all, it was a long story.

"Oh, Mr. Chavez, I almost died!" Lance patted his chest and vowed, "But don't worry, I haven't forgotten your orders. The first thing I did when I returned to Khogend was to deal with Felicia. She's right here in my grasp!" On the other end of the line, Melvin swallowed hard and asked, "W-What did you say?"

"I said I almost died!"

"Not that part. The last part!"

"Oh! I mean, the first thing I did when I returned to Khogend was to deal with Felicia. She's right here in my hands. Just give the word, Mr. Chavez, and I'll take her out!"

Lance was so proud of himself, but he heard a sharp explosion of sound from the other end of the phone.
