Chapter 367 Bribing Him for Help

Luna was beaten up pretty badly, though not to a pulp, but she was almost out cold.

She lay there on the ground, her hair a tangled mess. Nearby, Leo was panting heavily, clutching a thick rope in his hand. Emily saw the scene and felt a chill run down her spine.

Seeing Emily arrive, Leo took a deep breath and plopped down on the couch to rest. He then tossed the rope aside and managed a small smile, apologizing to her.

"Sorry for calling you over so late, Emily."

Emily took a couple of steps forward, the smell of blood growing stronger.

She swallowed hard, noticing up close that Luna's face had red welts, with beads of blood seeping out. Other wounds were oozing blood, making her look terrifying.

He didn't care at all about the appearance of a young girl... But then again, Luna must have done something really bad.

Emily was conflicted. She was genuinely shocked, so much so that she didn't even hear Leo invite her to sit down.

It was the green dress Luna had worn when she saw Emily that morning. Now, the green dress was stained with blood, turning dark red and then purple, looking very jarring.
