Chapter 666 Affected From Being Overly Involved

Josiah’s brows furrowed tightly, almost immediately sensing something amiss. He positioned himself protectively in front of Lysander, Nilou, and Rhizone, his gaze sweeping the outside. After discerning the direction of the car lights, he said, “Quite a few cars came, all conveniently circling the waterfront. With such glaring lights, I suspect their intentions are not good.”

During his stay in the village, he had genuinely grown fond of the peaceful and leisurely lifestyle it offered. However, his sharp instinct for sensing danger hadn’t faded away,

Nilou immediately reacted and said, “Those terrible landlords must be back!”

As she spoke these words filled with righteous indignation, she calmly arranged, “Rhizone, quickly escort Dr. Thorne and Mr. Guerra back to the health center. These people are capable of anything. Even knowing they are from the city, these people might not hesitate to take action.”

“Who are these people?” Lysander asked.

Even though she still didn’t know the origins of the people outside, she could infer from the children’s words that they didn’t bear good intentions.

Nilou said indignantly, “Dad said they are powerful and influential. Even Grandpa Blaine was bullied, let alone the others. However, we can at least avoid them if we can’t confront them. Mom has always taught us the wisdom of ‘there’s always hope. Let Rhizone guide you through the shortcut. You’ll be back at the health center in no time.

Upon hearing this, Josiah suddenly recalled his stroll with Lysander the previous night. They had caught sight of the pond from the edge of the village. Without a second thought, he scooped her up mid–shoe- tying and addressed Nilou, saying, “Why don’t you come with us? It’s safer at the health center.”

Given that these individuals are bold enough to do anything, there’s no guarantee this kid will be safe.

Nilou shook her head firmly. “You guys go ahead. I must go back and inform my parents and the neighbors living by the pond. We need to lay low for a while. Then we can all hide together in the village. They surely won’t chase us that far.”

After saying that, she immediately dashed out of the cabin, evidently prepared for whatever was to come.
