Chapter 101
Henry was physically and mentally exhausted.
“Then what should we do?” Hannah panicked. She had been so unlucky recently that she suspected that she might die at any moment.
Now that she thought about it carefully, ever since she put on Odalys’s emerald pendant, everything had gone smoothly for her. Now, she began to panic, thinking that Odalys definitely wanted to harm her.
Henry said viciously, “I’ll get Atlas and Sophia to find an opportunity to knock down Odalys during the variety show and see if they can snatch the emerald pendant back. Anyway, this variety show will only last for a week. There’s still time.
“Otherwise, let’s go up the mountain to look for her mentor. Didn’t Odalys grow up on the mountain? If she doesn’t agree, we can kidnap her mentor.” It wasn’t like he hadn’t used these methods before.
Hannah became more and more excited as she spoke. “Yes, kidnap her mentor! Wasn’t that emerald pendant a gift from her mentor? Tie her mentor over and let him help our family. Henry, go and arrange it now. Kidnap her mentor tomorrow.
“With her mentor as a hostage, she would not dare to disobey us. She’s already married into the Stewart family, so she is one of them now.
“Now that our family is in trouble, as long as the Stewart family helps, our family will become successful!”
Ignoring the pain in her body, she quickly sat up and pulled Henry’s arm. She grabbed him and said, “Henry, arrange for someone to bring her mentor over immediately.”
When Henry heard what she said, a hint of calculation flashed across his eyes.
“That’s true. Odalys has escaped our control. If her mentor is in our hands, we can indeed control her,” Henry muttered softly.
He had not thought of this. Thinking of this, Henry quickly turned around and picked up his phone to make a call. Hannah secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him make the call.
Unbeknownst to her, Finnian was standing outside the ward, listening intently to their conversation. Then, he turned around and drove away.
In the middle of the night at the Stewart Villa.
In the quiet bedroom, Odalys lay on the soft bed. She frowned while sleeping.
“No, don’t.” Odalys kept struggling.
She saw that the Bennett family was holding her down and forcing drugs into her mouth. She wanted to vomit, but she was kicked to the ground by Sophia.
“No.” Her eyes widened, and she felt her body stiffen. She couldn’t move. It was as if all her strength had been sucked out.
She kept trying to move her body, but Sophia rushed forward. Only then did Odalys see that she was holding a sharp dagger in her hand and slashing at her wrist. Pain shot through her wrist. Fresh blood kept gushing out, dyeing her clothes red.
She saw Sophia holding her leg and forcefully stabbing the dagger into her calf. The tendons in her hands and feet were broken by Sophia, and blood kept gushing out.
“Odalys! She’s going to commit suicide,” Sophia finished, everything before saying.
With a clang, she threw the dagger away and stood up to retreat. She raised her hands and said in a low voice as if she was too shocked, “Odalys, why are you doing this?” Just as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
When the Bennett family rushed in and saw this scene, they flew into a rage out of humiliation. Hannah stood at the back and hugged Sophia to comfort her.
“You still want to hurt Sophia? Shameless thing, it seems that if I haven’t taught you enough lessons.” Caspian said as he rushed forward and grabbed her clothes. He tore it forcefully, and everyone was stunned.
“What are you waiting for? Take a video!” Caspian said. Odalys’s eyes widened in horror. She kept retreating, but they stripped her naked. She turned around in despair, gritted her teeth, and jumped down. With a bang, her body fell heavily to the ground. Her head hit the ground, and blood kept gushing out.
Odalys was so frightened that she woke up in bed. Cold sweat seeped out and wet her pajamas. She sat on the bed and looked around.
“Am I dreaming?” Odalys whispered. She quickly turned on the light and took a sip of water.
The door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Percival walked in wearing black silk pajamas. He stood there and looked at her.
“Mr. Stewart?” Odalys looked at him in shock.
She quickly put down the glass of water and looked at him in confusion. Her hand reached under the pillow where a dagger was hidden.
In order to protect herself, even in her room at the Stewart Villa, there was still a dagger under her pillow. In this world, she could not trust anyone other than herself and her mentor.
“I heard your scream just now and thought that something had happened to you. I came over to take a look,” Percival said in a hoarse voice.
She looked at his sleepy black eyes. He had clearly just woken up.
After hearing his explanation, she retracted her hand from under the pillow and rubbed her forehead. She chuckled softly. “I just had a nightmare. It’s nothing.”
A trace of worry flashed across Percival’s eyes.
“That’s good. If anything happens, call me,” Percival said in a deep voice.
After seeing her nod, Percival made sure that she was fine before turning around and walking out. The moment the door closed, she was almost paralyzed on the bed. She had just had a nightmare and was weak and flustered.
However, at this moment, she was even more certain that she would not let the Bennett family have an easy time. Everyone in the Bennett family would have to pay the price for killing her in her previous life.
At the thought of this, she washed her face, changed her clothes, and prepared to lie down.
At this moment, her phone vibrated. She picked it up in confusion and saw that it was an unknown number.
“Who is it?” Odalys answered the call and asked in a low voice.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Finnian’s voice came through and said, “It’s me.”
Odalys was about to hang up. Finnian seemed to have guessed that she was going to hang up. He quickly called out, “Don’t hang up yet. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” Odalys’s attitude was very cold.
She would never be soft-hearted towards someone who brainwashed her and even made her depressed.
“I can tell you, but you have to promise me. After I tell you, you have to agree to be my woman.” Finnian immediately made his request.
Odalys found it hilarious.
“Get lost,” Odalys said coldly.
Before he could say anything, she hung up.
Finnian made this call confidently, thinking that she would definitely be curious about why he was looking for her. Then, he would tell her that the Bennett family wanted to kidnap her mentor.
This way, Odalys would owe him a favor. He could use this favor to make her ask the Stewart family to pave the way for him. He did not expect her to hang up.
“Damn it.” Finnian was furious.
Chapter 102
Finnian quickly called back and realized that Odalys’s phone had been switched off. Finnian was dumbfounded. His plan was so perfect, but he did not expect it to be ruined.
“Odalys, you will regret this,” Finnian said in a hoarse voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely felt a sharp pain in his body. His phone fell to the side, and his body curled up into a ball.
Sophia’s figure kept appearing in his mind. He imagined her slowly taking off her outerwear, revealing her sexy camisole, and then slowly raising her long legs. She stretched her legs toward him, nuzzling against his thighs as she moved closer.
“Finnian,” she called out coquettishly. She lifted his chin with her fingertips and moved downwards.
Finnian was a little stunned. She held him down and
pressed her soft body against him. Then, the two of them pressed against each other, and their clothes fell to the ground.
Finnian grunted. The images in his mind seemed to be branded in his brain. He kept struggling to shake them off, but his mind was filled with images of Sophia.
Finnian raised his head in pain. After a while, his eyes turned red and lifeless. The images in his mind disappeared. He held his phone and glanced at the screen before driving back to his apartment.
Odalys was calm about this situation. She looked at the time and realized that it was already four in the morning.
She had slept early last night and was quite energetic now, so she simply got up and went downstairs for a morning run.
“Mrs. Stewart.” The bodyguard was shocked when he saw her.
Odalys saw the stunned look on the bodyguard’s face. She pointed outside and said, “I’m going for a run.”
“Yes.” The bodyguard quickly retreated to the side. Seeing Odalys running along the backyard, they did not dare to approach.
Odalys didn’t know how big the Stewart Villa was. Every time she came back, other than eating, she would sleep. When she went for a morning run, she realized that the entire backyard was as big as a garden.
The road was very clean. The flowers and plants on both sides were trimmed very well. The side courtyard was filled with hundreds of flowers, and a garden in front was filled with all kinds of herbs.
She jogged all the way to the backyard. What greeted her eyes was a small bridge and a river. Behind the rockery was a pond. Smoke curled up. She jogged for an hour and a half before returning to her original spot.
“Good morning, Mrs. Stewart.” When Dorian woke up, he was shocked to see her walking back while wiping her sweat. He quickly went forward and asked her, “Did you go out?”
“No, I went for a run,” she said.
Seeing this, Dorian looked at the time and said, “Then I’ll cook you some breakfast. What do you want to eat, Mrs. Stewart?”
“No need, I’ll do it myself,” Odalys said as she walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchenware was neatly arranged, and there were a lot of ingredients in the fridge. She took out tomatoes, beef, and garlic before making some food.
The fragrance kept permeating the kitchen. Odalys’s stomach could not help but growl. She took a bowl from the side and realized that she had cooked too much.
She could vaguely feel someone approaching her. Odalys asked in a low voice, “Do you want to eat?”
“Okay.” Percival’s hoarse voice sounded.
Odalys was a little stunned. She turned around and saw that Percival was dressed neatly. She did not know when he had walked into the kitchen. When she saw him, the surprise in her eyes almost overflowed.
“I thought it was Dorian.” Odalys didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the time, it was only six o’clock. She was surprised that Percival was already up.
“Am I not included?” His voice was hoarse as he strode towards her. His tall body stood behind her as he looked down at the food in her pot. It was obvious that she had cooked too much.
When Odalys was approached by him, her body froze. She could vaguely smell the fresh mint on his body and the smell of herbs on his body. Clearly, it smelled exceptionally good.
“If you want to eat, get some for yourself,” Odalys said as she picked up her bowl and walked out.
Seeing this, Percival picked up a clean bowl, scooped some food for himself, and carried it out.
The two of them sat at the dining table and ate the food quietly. Percival did not expect her to be able to cook. He looked at her in surprise and said, “You used to cook often?” Odalys ate the food and said without looking up, “I grew up on the mountain. If I don’t cook for myself, I’ll starve to death. I have to cook for my mentor every day.”
It was rare to hear her mention her past. After a moment of silence, he said to her, “Your mentor taught you very well.” Unexpectedly, Odalys smiled and said proudly, “Of course!” Seeing her confident expression, Percival’s mood could not help but improve. He said in a deep voice, “After filming the variety show, do you want to go up the mountain to see your mentor? Does he know about your marriage?”
Odalys put down his fork and wiped his mouth.
“My mentor knows how to read fortunes. What do you think?” Odalys blinked at him before getting up and returning to the kitchen with the bowl. Percival looked at her figure thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.
In fact, when the Bennett family came to look for Odalys, her mentor told her that it was time for her to leave. He had also reminded her that there was a calamity in her life and she had to return to Crownridge.
She thought, ‘In my previous life, did my mentor know that I was going to die?’
Odalys shook her head and threw these thoughts to the back of her mind.
“Mrs. Stewart, leave the bowls. I’ll wash them.” Dorian rushed in. He was already feeling pressured from having her cook breakfast herself. There was no way he would let her wash the dishes.
“It’s fine. I cooked too much breakfast just now. If you don’t mind, would you like to eat some?” Odalys said as she looked at the food in the pot.
Dorian was a little flattered and immediately scooped a bowl.
After eating the noodles she had cooked, she fell into deep thought and felt an unprecedented pressure. Her culinary skills were too good, which meant that they had to continuously improve their standards. Otherwise, they would not satisfy her.
At 7:30 pm, Odalys took a car to the airport. She only brought a backpack and a suitcase with her.
“It’s Odalys.” At this moment, someone suddenly cheered.
Odalys carried her luggage and walked into the airport. She turned around in shock and saw a group of people running towards her with posters in their hands. Odalys fell silent. A person said, “Odalys! I can finally see you in person. You look so beautiful without makeup.”
Another person said, “Odalys, when are you going to open an account on social media? Can you share your daily life?”
Someone else said, “Can you tell my fortune? I can do anything for it.”
They kept rushing over. Although no bodyguards were stopping them, they still kept a distance from her, as if they were afraid of scaring her.
Chapter 103
Odalys stood there and looked at this group of fans in surprise. She did not expect that one day, she would actually have fans sending her off.
When she came out, she was wearing baggy slacks and a black T-shirt. She exuded youthfulness, and she wasn’t wearing a hat or mask. She thought no one recognized her. Now she realized that she had been careless.
“Why are you guys here so early? Have you had breakfast?” Odalys asked.
It would take 40 minutes to get from the city to the airport. Moreover, these people had obviously arrived earlier than her. They had probably woken up in the early morning and come over.
“You are so kind,” someone screamed.
Odalys looked around the airport and said, “I’ll be boarding the plane soon. You don’t have to follow me.”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and looked at the dozens of fans.
“Don’t leave the airport until eight o’clock,” she said, and carried her bags forward.
The fans watched her hurry, but they did not follow her. Instead, they stood where they were and shouted, “Odalys, you are the best! We love you.”
A person said, “I didn’t expect her to be even prettier than on the variety show. She doesn’t put on any airs at all.”
Another person said, “She left in such a hurry. Does she despise us?”
Someone else said, “What did she mean when she said not to leave the airport until eight o’clock?”
The fans lowered their voices and discussed. They wanted to follow her, but they were afraid of disturbing her. They could only stand where they were as they felt confused. Some fans were still holding their phones and broadcasting live.
“Did you see that? That person just now was Odalys!” a fan said to the camera.
Just as they were feeling puzzled, they saw someone walking over from the side. Then, he said politely, “You’re all fans of Odalys, right?”
“You are?” The fans were a little puzzled.
Seeing that this person was wearing an apron, it was obvious that he was a staff member of the restaurant.
“Miss Odalys had already paid for you! She said that she wanted you to come over for breakfast and leave after eight o’clock.” As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture. “Breakfast?” These fans were a little stunned, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
“Miss Odalys has ordered breakfast for each one of you. This way, please,” the staff said.
The fans were stunned.
A person said, “So she was in a hurry to pay for us?”
Another person asked, “Why can’t we leave until after eight? Is something going to happen?”
The fans were flattered and chatted as they walked into the shop. These people filled the shop to the brim and were all chatting on their phones. Some people even posted all the photos they had just taken on Twitter.
The fan who was doing the live broadcast raised their phone excitedly and said, “Did you see that? Our idol is treating us to breakfast! How does it feel to be treated to a meal by a celebrity?”
They were showing off excitedly. In an instant, the live stream was filled with people.
Many fans of Sophia immediately came over and said that Odalys was deliberately creating hype. Fans of Freya and Stellan also joined the live stream.
They asked anxiously: [Have you seen Freya and Stellan?] The fans of Lucian and Sophia immediately rushed in to scold Odalys: [She’s deliberately trying to be mysterious! What does she mean by leaving after eight o’clock? She’s afraid that if the fans leave, people won’t know that her fans have come to send her off. What a bitch.]
Before the variety show started, the live broadcast was immediately trending. People who had followed the variety show before rushed in one after another. Everyone wanted to know what would happen at eight o’clock. Even the airport staff became nervous.
Odalys was completely unaware of this. She carried her luggage and walked towards the gathering point. She saw a photographer carrying the cameras over from afar, and the hostess stepped forward happily.
“Looks like our guess was right. The first guest to arrive is Odalys! Let us welcome Odalys’s arrival,” the hostess said and went forward to hug her.
When the camera pointed at her, Odalys finally caught a glimpse of the screen. Clearly, they had been live streaming.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Odalys,” she greeted the camera as she set down her luggage.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Freya and Selah running over quickly with boxes in their hands. Before she could react, they went forward and hugged her.
“Odalys, I’ve missed you so much,” Freya said and immediately hugged her.
Selah was not to be outdone. She hugged her and said, ‘ Odalys, I miss you too.”
“Come! I also want a hug,” the hostess said humorously as he walked forward and hugged them together.
Stellan was wearing black shorts, a colorful T-shirt, and a cap as he stood at the side.
“I’m also here,” Stellan said in a deep voice. In the live broadcast room, the fans immediately laughed.
A person said: [Stellan is so funny.]
Another person said: [Dude, just hug them together.]
The fans teased and watched excitedly as Stellan went forward and sat on the luggage. He looked at the girls with his arms wrapped around his chest and said, “Hey, beautiful.”
“Shut up,” Freya said and turned around to cover his mouth.
When the fans saw this scene, they were very happy. They were all rational. They would not think that Freya was targeting Stellan just because of one action.
“Looks like the members of Group B are all very loving. After being separated for a few days, their relationship has deepened,” the hostess quickly said.
The fans were asking questions crazily on the live
broadcast. She was about to say something when she saw a tall person in high heels walking over from afar. She was wearing a long white dress that accentuated her tall and graceful figure.
Sophia had exquisite makeup on and was wearing sunglasses. There were two bodyguards behind him, and her aura was very strong, causing many passengers to look at her.
“Hello everyone, I’m Sophia. Nice to meet you again.”
Sophia smiled and took off his sunglasses to look at the camera. It was as if what had happened on the deserted island did not exist.
Behind her was Atlas. He didn’t look too good. Compared to Sophia’s rosy face, he looked like his energy had been sucked dry.
“Sorry, we were almost late,” Finnian said. He pushed the luggage and walked over quickly, greeting everyone with a smile.
Then, he turned to look at the live broadcast camera and said, “It’s an honor to continue participating in the variety show. I hope I can surprise everyone this time.”
A person asked: [Is this Finnian Lark? Why does it seem like he has lost weight in just a few days?]
Another person asked: [Why do I feel like he has done plastic surgery? He doesn’t look as good as before.]
Someone else asked: [Am I the only one who thinks that Atlas and Finnian aren’t in good condition? Did they do drugs?]
Chapter 104
Everyone was shocked when they saw Atlas and Finnian. A person asked: [The haters are coming out again. My idol is already very handsome. He doesn’t need plastic surgery.]
Another person said, [He just didn’t sleep well. Is there a need to make it sound so bad? It’s illegal to spread rumors.]
The fans of Finnian and Atlas immediately jumped out to clear their names, but they were ignored.
When Sophia saw Finnian, the smile on her lips deepened. She went forward and grabbed his arm, saying in a low voice, “Finnian, long time no see.”
The moment Finnian looked at her, his gaze became much gentler.
He reached out to touch Sophia’s hair and said dotingly, “Sit down first. I’ll help you carry your luggage.”
“Thank you.” Sophia smiled and sat to the side.
When she saw Odalys, Freya, and Selah, she smiled and greeted them, “Hello, we meet again.”
Freya rolled her eyes when she saw her.
“Odalys, I heard that you told your fans not to leave before eight! Are you worried that your fans will be stuck in traffic?” Sophia asked innocently.
In reality, she wanted to mock Odalys. She didn’t believe that Odalys could really read fortunes. If she really knew these things, she wouldn’t allow the Bennett family to walk all over her.
Therefore, Sophia did not believe Odalys at all.
“We still have to believe in science. After all, promoting superstition and feudalism is too much. If it causes panic in society, you will be held accountable,” Sophia said in a low voice.
However, her voice was sharp. She deliberately said it so that even the fans in the live-stream could hear her clearly.
Odalys ignored her, but her gaze was fixed on Finnian. When she saw him pushing luggage for Sophia, she could not help but frown.
“What’s wrong?” Freya sensed that something was wrong with her expression and quickly asked in a low voice. Selah also felt Odalys’s absent-mindedness. She thought that she was unhappy with Sophia’s words and quickly comforted her. “Odalys, ignore her. She’s deliberately stirring up trouble.”
Odalys did not say anything. Her gaze swept past Finnian and finally landed on Atlas. She raised her eyebrows and a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes. Then, she turned her head away.
“No, I was just thinking about something,” Odalys said in a low voice.
As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Finnian and saw that he looked miserable. It was obvious that someone had cast a spell on him.
An audience member asked: [Why is Odalys looking like that? Is she trying to seduce Finnian?]
Another person said: [Odalys is so disgusting. Why is she staring at Finnian like this? Is she jealous because she heard that Finnian and Sophia were together before?]
Someone else said: [Are you blind? If she wanted to seduce someone, why didn’t she seduce Stellan? Isn’t Stellan better than Finnian?]
The fans were speechless. They felt that the fans of Finnian and Sophia were very brainless.
A person said: [Maybe she thinks Finnian’s situation is not right. Look at Finnian’s expression. It’s indeed not good.]
Another person said, [That’s right. Doesn’t Odalys know how to read fortunes? Maybe there is a problem with Finnian.]
The fans were questioning.
A person said: [Didn’t she just say not to leave the airport before eight? It’s already eight o’clock, but nothing has happened. Looks like Odalys is really a liar.]
Another person said: [Have you heard? The airport staff are all on high alert, thinking that something is going to happen. They even sent people to patrol. It seems like there’s been a mistake.]
Sophia stood up. As she walked forward, she deliberately glanced at the live broadcast. When she saw these comments, she deliberately turned around and looked at Odalys.
She said, “By the way, Odalys, didn’t you tell her fans to leave the airport before eight o’clock? Do you think something will happen? It’s already 8:02, but I haven’t heard anything. Are you deliberately scaring your fans?
“Actually, it’s fine if you don’t want them to leave, but it’s not good to scare them on purpose, right?”
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, most of the fans in the live stream were immediately led astray by her. Many people immediately denounced Odalys.
Odalys couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her smug look. A smile appeared in her eyes as she stared straight at Sophia and said coldly, “This is the so-called whore!”
“You.” Sophia’s smile froze on her face. She did not expect Odalys to directly rebuke her. She was so angry that her body trembled.
She vaguely heard a loud bang. The entire airport terminal seemed to shake a few times. The explosion was deafening, and everyone’s expressions instantly changed.
“What’s going on?” Freya hurriedly stood up.
Seeing this, Selah immediately said, “It feels like an explosion.”
Stellan also stood up. His expression darkened as he raised his phone and said, “I just saw someone livestreaming. They said that on the road near the airport, an oil truck collided with another truck. The oil truck fell off the viaduct.
“Fortunately, the traffic police cleared the road just now. The road to the airport seems to have been blocked, so there are no cars or pedestrians under the bridge,” Stellan said in a low voice.
The live stream instantly fell silent. There had been a lot of scolding just now, but no one was commenting at the moment.
Everyone was shocked, including the fans of Odalys. They were still sitting in the restaurant, eating breakfast. Someone was still doing a live stream.
When it was past eight o’clock, everyone was a little disappointed that nothing had happened. They were about to walk out when they were stopped by the security guards. “We’ve been notified that the airport road has been closed for half an hour. No one can enter or leave,” the security guard said through the loudspeaker.
When they heard the explosion, everyone looked at each other in shock and ran out.
All the doors of the airport were locked, and the police were already at the scene. No one was allowed to go out. At the same time, the cars outside were not allowed to approach the airport.
From afar, through the glass door, people could see that the outside seemed to have been burned red.
A person said, “Oh my God, there was an explosion.” Another person said, “Odalys is really amazing.”
Someone else said, “If we had left just now, we would probably have been crushed under the viaduct by now.” A person said, “I just asked her to read our fortunes. She really did! She didn’t say anything. She only treated us to breakfast. She actually saved our lives.”
The fans instantly broke down. Everyone felt like they had just survived a calamity and stood there crying.
“Why did the police suddenly close the road?” The fans were also puzzled.
A police officer stood there and saw that they were broadcasting live. He went forward and said, “Previously, our staff heard Ms. Stone say not to go out at eight. We didn’t know if something would happen, so we were told to seal the road.
“Since the road is blocked, other than the truck, there are no other casualties,” the police said.
The fans were also shocked. Everyone turned around and said to the camera, “Did you hear that? Odalys saved many lives with her prediction.”
Chapter 105
After all, it was rush hour at the airport in the morning, and many cars were coming and going. More people flew into a rage because of the airport’s road closure. They even called to complain. Some even called the police.
The moment they saw the explosion, these people fell silent. There were many people in the entire airport. At this moment, they all stopped in their tracks, as if they were stunned by the explosion.
At the departure lounge, the explosion was deafening. Sophia’s expression changed drastically. She had just diverted the public opinion, but now, an explosion seemed to have made everyone’s thoughts suspended.
She vaguely felt that Odalys’s prophecy had come true. However, she couldn’t accept that Odalys had stolen the limelight.
She had made all the preparations. As long as nothing happened after eight o’clock, she could smear Odalys. However, reality proved her wrong.
“Ms. Stone.” At this moment, a man in a suit with shiny hair ran over. Behind him was a group of people.
He looked around at the crowd and came to Odalys. He stepped forward and held her hand. He shook it a few times. times and was so excited that he almost cried.
He said, “Thank you! Since you reminded your fans this morning not to leave before eight, I decided to seal off the road outside the airport.
“I didn’t expect an accident to really happen. Fortunately, the road was blocked and there were no casualties. The fuel tank driver jumped out of the car before the accident. He was only injured from the fall. It’s not a big deal.”
As the man spoke, he took half a step back while panting and saluted her.
“What?” Odalys was shocked by his words. Initially, she only reminded her fans, but she did not expect to alarm the leaders of the airport.
It wasn’t that she was being selfish; she had not tried to stop the accident from happening. After all, everyone’s fate was already decided. She couldn’t help save everyone.
If it weren’t for a fan asking her to read his fortune, she wouldn’t have learned about his accident.
Sometimes, it was inevitable for accidents to happen. However, if someone listened to advice, things would take a turn.
The man said, “I’m also a fan of yours. The last time you participated in the variety show and predicted the weather, I was watching the live broadcast. Coincidentally, that fan of yours was my nephew! Thank you for saving my life. Otherwise, I might not even be able to keep my job.”
The people behind him all bowed to her.
“There’s no need to thank me. I didn’t do much.” Odalys hurriedly waved her hand. The leader looked at her with admiration.
Seeing the cameraman carrying a machine and live-streaming, he looked at the camera in embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry for wasting everyone’s time.
“But since it’s a live broadcast, I want to tell the netizens online that I’m a fan of Odalys. Whoever dares to defame her in the future will be going against me.” As he spoke, he even got someone to send some fruits and snacks to the production team.
He was worried that he would delay their work, so he left reluctantly. Many people knew that Odalys and the others were waiting for boarding in this area, so they came over to take a look.
Some people even asked Odalys to read their fortunes, but they were blocked by the security guards at the door.
A person asked, “Odalys, can you read my fortune? I’ll pay you however much you want.”
Another person said, “Odalys, you saved my life! Thank you for treating me to breakfast this morning. My mother said that she loves you, too.”
The group of fans who were treated to breakfast by Odalys did not leave. Instead, they ran over and thanked her.
“Looks like Odalys’ fans are so enthusiastic.” Sophia’s smile froze on her face.
She did not expect that before the variety show even started, Odalys’s popularity would soar to the top.
“Cut it out,” Atlas said. He walked over and pulled Sophia, indicating for her to stop talking. At this moment, it was better not to say anything.
“Atlas, don’t you realize that something is wrong? I suspect that today’s accident was planned by Odalys. Otherwise, would you believe that there were no casualties after the explosion? How can the leader of the airport happen to be her fan? I think he is a paid actor.” Sophia said in a low voice.
Atlas fell silent after hearing this. If Odalys planned this, she would go to jail after being discovered. No matter how powerful Odalys was, he felt that she couldn’t cover up such a big matter.
“We’ll know in a while,” Atlas whispered. It was obvious that he did not want to cause trouble for Odalys.
Sophia was a little angry. She sat back in her seat and put on sunglasses with a dark expression. She turned her head away and did not look at Odalys again. However, she heard the shouts of Odalys’ fans coming from outside.
Many of them were middle-aged women who looked for her to read fortunes. Some of them were even from wealthy families.
“Odalys must have done it on purpose. She’s fishing,” Sophia said coldly.
However, Finnian had a terrible headache when she sat over. He kept shaking his head. It was as if his mind was controlled by an invisible hand, forcing him to think of Sophia. He kept coughing.
He felt a little weak. When he looked at Sophia’s face, he felt his scalp tingle.
“You should disperse. Don’t delay the others from catching the plane. I promise you that after the variety show ends, if anyone still wants to ask me for fortune reading, I will receive three people for free every day.” Odalys walked forward and stood in front of the waiting room door.
The fans looked at her enviously. Originally, they only wanted to send her off, but Odalys treated them to breakfast. They even witnessed such a miraculous moment. At this moment, they felt like she was a divine being.
“Alright, stop blocking the way. It’s the same if we go back to watch the live broadcast.” The fan in the lead waved his hand. When the others saw this, they did not dare to say anything else.
The other person who wanted to look for Odalys to read their fortune hurriedly asked, “Then how did we know when you would start?”
“That’s right. You don’t have an account on social media. We can’t see you.” The others quickly echoed.
The news of Odalys’s prophecy this morning spread throughout the entire airport. The police were alarmed by the explosion. After the investigation, they realized that it was an accident. They began to pay attention to Odalys. “I’m going to open a magic entertainment company. I will read people’s fortunes there every day. I’ll advertise for it right now. When the time comes, just come to my company and look for me,” Odalys said.
The venue instantly fell silent.
A person asked, “Where is the company going to be? Where’s the address?”
Another person asked, “Ms. Stone, can you tell me if I can get pregnant this year?”
Chapter 106
These people immediately rushed forward and were stopped by the security guards. They squeezed crazily, almost causing the security guards to collapse.
“I’ll register a Twitter account later. Follow me. I’ll mention the rest on Twitter. Thank you for your cooperation,” Odalys said in a low voice.
These people nodded in satisfaction.
“Hurry up and register an account.” The fans were anxious, afraid that she would go back on her word.
Odalys didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time she had seen someone being forced to register an account.
“Yes, I’ll register now,” Odalys said.
The onlookers dispersed in an instant, and the scene instantly became quiet. They were all worried that they would disturb her and make her unhappy, so everyone ran away.
Even with the air conditioner, the security guards were drenched in cold sweat..
“Odalys, you want to open a company? Are you taking the opportunity to advertise? The production team won’t allow us to advertise.” Sophia still refused to give up.
She saw the live comments and realized the situation had completely changed. They were all begging Odalys to read their fortunes online. There were even people online who suspected that what happened today was planned by Odalys. They even asked the police to intervene in the investigation.
“Are you jealous?” Odalys turned her head and sneered at her.
Sophia was stunned. She did not expect Odalys to embarrass her. The others looked at her and sneered, but no one spoke up for her.
“Okay, we’re boarding in 10 minutes. Let me explain the rules for this episode.” At this moment, Kenny walked forward and stood in front of them with a microphone. He was beaming with joy.
Unexpectedly, before the variety show started, it was already trending. This made him overjoyed.
“This time, it’s the same as last time. Everyone is divided into two groups. Because a guest got into an accident last time, he can’t participate now, so we have a new member this time. It’s the popular international model, Francis Zephyr! Welcome, Francis.” Kenny turned to look behind. A tall man with a backpack and a suitcase in one hand slowly walked over. Because he was wearing tight black pants, his slender legs were accentuated.
He stood there and nodded politely. He greeted coldly,” Hello, everyone. I’m Francis Zephyr.”
“Alright, this time, it’s still the same as last time, so Zhang will take Lucian’s place! Let’s welcome the new member of Group A,” Kenny said.
Everyone quickly applauded. Francis nodded at them. His gaze landed on Odalys, and his gaze became probing.
Kenny said and bowed to the camera, “Now, I’ll announce the rules of the game. When you get off the plane, each group will be assigned to two seven-seater cars! You need to drive yourself to the designated place.
“I won’t announce the location for the time being. All you need to know is that after arriving at the place, the entire network near the village will be blocked. You can contact each other, but you can’t contact the outside world.
“It’s still a live broadcast! Now, get ready and board the plane. first.”
When the other guests heard this, they quickly got up and went to board the plane. Some commissioners went forward to help them carry their luggage.
“Francis is very popular internationally,” Selah said in a low voice.
Freya looked at Stellan. She nudged him with her arm and said in a low voice, “I heard that you had interacted with him before, then you cut ties with him.”
“Yes,” Stellan replied in a low voice.
He looked at Francis thoughtfully and saw Francis looking at him provocatively. Francis raised his middle finger at Stellan in secret.
Stellan sneered and ignored him. Seeing this, Freya’s eyes flashed with coldness. It was obvious that Francis was up to no good.
“He is coming for you. Looks like you have to be careful. This person will definitely find it hard this time. Don’t fall into his trap,” Freya said in a low voice.
Now that the crew had left and the live broadcast had been turned off, they didn’t have to pretend. As they spoke, they passed through the safe passage and boarded the plane. “Odalys, have you registered the account? I’ll follow you,” Freya said as she chased after Odalys with her phone.
“Done.” Odalys submitted the information and looked at the screen to see that the registration was successful.
Selah quickly opened Twitter. “Odalys, I’ll follow you.” Selah immediately followed her.
Unexpectedly, Freya was one step ahead of her and became Odalys’s first fan.
Selah thought that she would be the second. When she realized that her phone was lagging, she said in disbelief,” Is Twitter down? I can’t follow you. What is happening?”
She had refreshed the page several times, but she could not follow Odalys.
“I can’t follow her either. I think a lot of people are waiting for her to register, so the Internet is overcrowded. I’ll check later,” Stellan said.
After registering her account, Odalys found her seat and sat down.
Freya squeezed over and sat beside her. She said to Stellan, “Stellan, I’ll change seats with you. I’ll sit with Odalys.”
“Alright.” Stellan smiled bitterly. After all, he was the only boy in Group B. He did not dare to resist because he was afraid of being beaten up.
“Are you sure you want to start a magic entertainment company?” Freya asked in a low voice.
When Odalys heard her curious question, she smiled helplessly and said, “Of course, I submitted the information yesterday afternoon.
“I’ve calculated the time. When I come back from filming the variety show, it will probably be approved.”
Freya did not expect her to move so quickly. “Alright! I want to be the first customer,” Freya said.
Selah said, “Me too.”
Stellan said, “Count me in.”
In the next seat, Sophia snorted in disdain and said, “Do you really think you’re a magic mentor? You made such a big fuss just to advertise. Odalys, does anyone know that you are ignoring your mother while she is dying?”
Odalys sneered and said, “As long as you know, it’s enough.” “You.” Sophia gritted her teeth. She wanted to rush forward and tear off Odalys’s face, but she held it in.
Finnian, who was sitting beside her, suddenly reached out and grabbed her. He covered her with a blanket, but his large palm pressed on her leg and swam up her skirt.
Sophia was stunned. Sensing his large palm, she was a little stunned and could not help but look at him.
Finnian was in a hurry. He did not look good. His breathing became rapid and his eyes gradually blurred. He then reached up her thighs.
“Finnian, stop,” Sophia gritted her teeth and said.
Chapter 107
At this moment, Sophia was not panicking. Finnian was in heat now. His hands roamed restlessly under the blanket, touching her legs. Obviously, he wanted to take another step forward.
“Comfortable,” Finnian muttered softly. He leaned towards her and rested his head on her shoulder. He seemed to have fainted.
Sophia pressed down on his hand and tried to remove it from under her skirt, but he grabbed her leg tightly and refused to let go. She did not dare to move for fear of being discovered.
“How could this be? Didn’t I use the Love Spell to make him loyal to me and be used by me?” Sophia muttered softly. She was too worried that she would lose to Odalys. She could only rely on her charm to turn the tide. Therefore, she had to make Finnian give up on Odalys. That way, others would think that Finnian loved her. Charm was the best recognition and proof for her.
However, Finnian wanted to touch her constantly. This made her a little flustered. It was fine on the plane. If he touched her leg recklessly during the variety show, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After flying for two hours, it was already 11 o’clock when they arrived.
“Alright! Group A and B have been assigned cars. Pack your luggage and follow the car’s navigation to your destination,” Kenny said.
He handed the car keys to Sophia and Odalys. After taking the car keys, they put their luggage in the car.
“Should we eat something before we leave?” Odalys looked at the sun outside and turned back to look at the others.
Seeing this, Sophia held the car key and said excitedly, “Let’s buy some biscuits to eat in the car. We’ll plan when we get there. How about that?”
“Alright,” Atlas quickly replied.
He didn’t want to see Odalys. Besides, if they arrived before Group B, they would receive more attention.
“I agree. After all, we’re not familiar with the place. It’s better to go over and familiarize ourselves with the place first.” Finnian agreed.
He had a terrible headache. Only by following Sophia’s decision would he feel better.
“Then let’s go. I’ll drive,” Francis quickly took the car keys and said. After they finished their discussion, they drove away.
The cameramen and staff of Group A were about to go for dinner, but when they saw this, they could only drive and follow them to ensure that they could maintain the live broadcast.
“Let’s go eat first.” Seeing this, Stellan quickly took his phone and looked at it. The food at the airport was not delicious, so they chose to make do with it.
“The people from Group A are rushing over because they want to familiarize themselves with the terrain, right? I think this place is up on the mountain,” Selah said.
Odalys took out the document bag and opened it. She was a little surprised to see the destination.
“It seems to be deep in the mountains. Even if the crew doesn’t block our phone signal, we probably won’t have it anyway,” Odalys said in a low voice.
Freya looked over as she ate the food.
“Is it that remote? Do you want to buy something before going over?” she asked in a low voice.
However, Kenny waved his hand and said, “The funding we gave you is 30 dollars per person. It is for a week. If you spend it all here, you will have nothing left. You guys can think of a way to deal with it. In any case, you can’t use your own money.”
Odalys was silent. She ate the food and did not say anything else. Everyone ate very quickly and returned to the car after eating.
“I’ll drive. You guys take a break,” Stellan said to them as he took the navigation information from Odalys.
Freya and Selah naturally agreed with it. They sat in the back seats. Odalys could only sit in the front passenger seat.
As they drove, Odalys’s pupils constricted. She said to Stellan, “Drive slower later.”
“What’s wrong?” Stellan held the steering wheel and became a little nervous.
“It’s going to rain soon. I don’t know if there will be mudslides or rocks on the road. It feels a little dangerous since the mountain road has not been maintained for many years,” Odalys said in a low voice.
Her words immediately perked up the two people who were dozing off.
“Alright.” Stellan quickly nodded.
The luggage in the car was a little heavy. Coupled with Odalys’s reminder, Stellan did not dare to drive too fast. It would take about three hours to reach the village.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky. Lightning flashed, and the sky seemed to be about to collapse.
“It’s really going to rain.” Freya was scared out of her wits. She quickly turned her head and looked out of the car window, watching the rain in front of her come down like hail.
“Pull over and stop in the tunnel ahead,” Odalys said in a low voice. As soon as she finished speaking, Stellan immediately stepped on the accelerator. However, the rain was too heavy and he could not see the road clearly. He panicked.
“Don’t worry, there’s no car in front,” Odalys said in a low voice.
Fortunately, Stellan was an experienced driver. He quickly stabilized and drove into the tunnel. The production team’s car immediately drove in.
When the car stopped in the tunnel, a loud bang suddenly sounded not far behind. A huge rock rolled down and smashed straight down. The railing by the roadside was broken.
“It looks like the weather isn’t too good. Hurry up and inform the cars in front to stop. Kenny is quite frightened.
After Odalys got out of the car, she saw Kenny’s anxious expression and said, “I just sent a message in the group chat to ask the people from Group A to be careful, but they didn’t reply.”
“Damn it, I’ll call the filming team.” Kenny was also anxious. He immediately made a call, but the call was only picked up after a long time.
“It’s dangerous on the rainy road now. Find a safe spot and stop by the side. We’ll carry on after the rain is over,” Kenny ordered.
However, the photographer’s expression was extremely ugly. He held his phone and said in a low voice, “After I received the message from Odalys, I informed Group A. “Francis said that he has always participated in racing overseas and also likes to race. This kind of road is not difficult for him.”
“Where are the people from Group A now? Did you catch up with them?” Kenny was anxious. He did not expect Group A to be desperate for popularity.
“They have disappeared.” Selah hurriedly took out her phone and clicked into the live stream. She watched as Group A’s car sped away. The production team’s cars could not keep up.
Fortunately, there was a camera in Group A’s car. The camera kept shaking, and the faces of the people in Group A immediately appeared in front of the camera.
“There’s no need to make a fuss. We’re fine! It’s just that Group B doesn’t have the guts. Group A isn’t afraid of anything,” Atlas said with a cold smile. He faced the camera and gestured.
“That’s right! What’s there to be afraid of? We’re the strongest,” Finnian chimed in. His hand subconsciously touched Sophia’s thigh. He leaned forward to avoid the camera.
Chapter 108
“Looks like we’ll have a head start. Group B won’t make it in time. Odalys, are you afraid that we’ll steal the limelight?” Sophia asked with a mocking smile.
She looked at the camera pitifully and said with a faint smile, “We’ll wait for you in front.” After saying that, they reached out and turned off the camera.
An audience member wrote: [What’s going on in Group A? It’ s really easy to fall off a cliff when it’s raining. I’m a local. I don’t even dare to walk on this mountain path in the heavy rain.]
Another person wrote: [It’s common sense that accidents will happen in this condition. Don’t they know that?]
Someone else said: [It’s like they have a death wish.]
A person asked, [Are the people from Group B worried they will fall behind? My idol has already said to wait in front. They can’t catch up anymore, so they try to use their little tricks to make Group A stop and wait. If they encounter danger, can Group B take responsibility for it?]
Another person said: [My idol is so awesome. His driving skills are top-notch. The production Group’s car can’t even keep up.]
The netizens in the live stream instantly had obviously different opinions. Some people thought that Group A was too pretentious, while others thought that Group B wanted to trick Group A.
In the car, Sophia watched the rain outside the window get heavier. She panicked and subconsciously grabbed the armrest.
“Isn’t the rain too heavy? Why don’t we drive slower? In any case, the people from Group B definitely won’t be able to catch up,” Sophia said in a low voice.
It was raining and there were many bends. If they were not careful, they might fall off the cliff.
“What’s there to be afraid of? This rain is nothing. Just sit back and watch me drive,” Francis said as he lit a cigarette and took a puff.
When Sophia turned off the live broadcast, Finnian subconsciously turned on the live broadcast. No one else realized that the live broadcast had been turned on.
A person wrote: [Sophia is panicking, right?]
Another person wrote: [She is so pretentious that she doesn’t even care about her life. I’m a local. There will be an accident every time it rains in this place.]
Someone else wrote: [Wait, why is there a hand on Sophia’s leg? It looks like a man’s hand.]
The sharp-eyed netizens saw the large palm on Sophia’s leg. They saw that the hand kept moving, but she did not reject it. Instead, she enjoyed it.
A person asked, [What’s going on?]
Everyone’s hearts were hanging in the air. Atlas sat in the front passenger seat with a look of disdain. But the next second, he panicked.
“Francis, stop the car, stop the car!” Atlas suddenly screamed.
Francis turned his head and blew smoke rings out of the car window. Then, he held the cigarette in his mouth and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the road. He said, “Why?” “There’s a rock,” Atlas screamed. He reached for the steering wheel and tried to turn it, but it was clearly too late. He watched helplessly as the car crashed into the rock. With a bang, the car hit the rock and flew into the air.
The scene in the live-stream seemed to have frozen at this moment. Everyone held their breaths. The fans who had been arguing just now were so frightened that they screamed.
A person asked, [What’s going on? Did something really happen?]
Another person asked: [This is what they get for being pretentious.]
Someone else wrote: [Did the car flip over? Oh my god, hurry up and call the police.]
The netizens watching online were scared out of their wits. As they watched the camera spin continuously, they vaguely heard a few bangs. Everyone’s hearts were hanging in midair.
On the other side of the tunnel, Group B had been watching the live broadcast. They saw Group A’s car crash into a rock in the middle of the road.
A person asked, “Damn, did they fall off the cliff?”
Another asked, “What should we do? Should we rush over?”
Kenny’s face darkened when he saw this. He wanted popularity, but he did not want anyone to die.
“Odalys, do you think we can go?” Kenny subconsciously looked at her.
Odalys was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “We’ll leave in two minutes.”
“Alright, get ready. We’ll leave in two minutes,” Kenny said to the staff behind him.
The live-stream was in an uproar.
A person asked, [Odalys, what’s the meaning of this? Group A is already in trouble, but she still asks the production Group to wait for two more minutes. What if they get there late?]
Another person said: [This woman is too confident. She only cares about herself and doesn’t care about others.]
Someone else wrote: [Did Odalys tell them to drive so fast? They reminded them that they were in danger. They were the ones who made themselves get into trouble. Who can you blame except themselves.]
The fans of Group A and Group B immediately started arguing. Sophia’s fans were brainless. They pushed all the blame on Odalys, thinking that Odalys had caused Group A to be in trouble.
However, the people from Group B had already driven to the location of the accident with the production Group.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a rescue car passing by.
Someone got out of the car and took a rope to tie up Group A’s car before dragging it up.
Group A’s car’s body was dented, and a part of the front of the car was bent. Two windows were shattered. The people in the car were in a sorry state, but they were not badly injured.
“How is it? Are you alright?” Kenny quickly got out of the car and strode forward to ask.
The people from Group A were clearly stunned. They were unable to say a word. When Kenny saw this, his anger instantly rose, but he still suppressed it.
“The roads have been cleared. Group B will drive first. Group A’s car is fine and can still drive. Group A will follow Group B’s car,” Kenny immediately said.
Only then did the people from Group A come back to their senses. They wanted to retort, but Group B’s car had already passed their car and left.
“Can you still drive?” Kenny asked.
Atlas quickly raised his hand. He took the car key and said, ” Kenny, I can.”
“Alright.” Kenny didn’t have much hope for them and could only nod.
Group A’s car was a little unsightly from the collision, but it did not affect its function. Along the way, Sophia wanted to interact with her fans in the live-stream, but she realized that no one was paying attention to her.
“I’m so angry.” She moved the camera to the side. When she turned her head, she cursed in a low voice and fell silent.
After being delayed by the rain and the accident, it was already 5:30 PM when everyone arrived.
At dusk, the people in the village came back home. When they saw the production team, they surrounded them curiously. This place was underdeveloped. Very few people used their phones or even went online. They did not know about this variety show at all.
Kenny said, “We have two houses now. The first one has a courtyard. It’s empty. The second is a dilapidated tile house, but there’s furniture inside.
“If you choose a house, you need to stay there for a week. As for food and drink, go up the mountain and settle it yourself!”
He took a photo of the houses and handed it over. Sophia immediately strode forward and snatched the photo of the house with a courtyard. She said, “Kenny, we’re all a little bruised and can’t be exposed to the wind, so we’ll have to ask Group B to stay in the tiled house.”
“Whatever.” Seeing this, Freya went forward to take the other one.
They carried their luggage and walked towards the house. The two houses were quite close to each other. Compared to Group A’s house, Group B’s was indeed much more dilapidated. It might even leak water when it rained.
“It feels like water is going to come in from the roof,” Selah said.
Freya and Stellan carried their luggage, but Odalys stood there in a daze.
“This scent,” Odalys muttered softly. This scent was exactly the same as what she had smelled at the Stewart mansion.
“That’s impossible. Why is there the scent of the custom-made dead man’s clothes in the pond in the Stewart mansion?” Odalys asked in confusion.
Chapter 109
Odalys didn’t believe in coincidences, but the smell was indeed similar. Smelling this scent, she subconsciously looked into the village.
“Odalys, why are you in a daze? Are you feeling unwell? You don’t look too good.” Freya quickly went forward to touch her forehead.
Odalys’s thoughts were pulled back. She quickly shook her head.
“It’s nothing. I was thinking about something else and got distracted.” Odalys forced a smile. She was afraid that others would notice something amiss, so she didn’t say anything else.
A person asked: [What does she mean? Odalys has a bad expression because Sophia took the better house?]
Another person asked: [Am I the only one who feels that Odalys’s expression doesn’t seem right? Could it be that there’s something wrong with the village?]
Someone else said: [Heavens, this village looks a little depressing. It looks like the kind of village that is filled with ghosts.]
A person said: [Are there any locals in the chat? Have you heard of this village? Is the production Group going to cause trouble here?]
The netizens looked at the live broadcast. Some people felt a little scared even through the screen.
Odalys’s expression just now made netizens suspicious. Sophia’s fans immediately tried to defame Odalys.
A person said, [I’m a local. This is the Dead Man’s Village! I heard that many people see ghosts there at night, so we call this the Dead Man’s Village.
[Many people don’t dare to go there. I heard that the people there don’t intermarry with the outside world. They only interact with themselves. It’s very mysterious.]
The netizens’ hearts were hanging in the air. They looked at the village and felt that something was wrong. Their curiosity about the village had reached its peak. They stared at the live broadcast and did not dare to look away, afraid that they would miss anything.
Everyone moved their things in. Although the house Group A had was good, there was nothing inside. Sophia’s face darkened, but she did not dare to say anything.
“Let’s all pick a room. We can just sleep on the floor.” Sophia forced a smile and chose the largest room.
The others also picked rooms, but Finnian felt uncomfortable. He felt that the place was gloomy and could not help but shiver. He said in a low voice, “Why is this place so cold?”
“It must be cold because we are in the mountains. The temperature here is 59 degrees Fahrenheit! We have to wear a coat,” Atlas hurriedly said.
Finnian walked into a room with his luggage. He vaguely felt that someone was staring at him from behind.
After everyone from Group B moved their things in, they realized that the house was relatively old. There were only two rooms. Stellan chose the small room and left the big bedroom for the three women.
It didn’t take long for them to make the bed, but they stared at the roof in a daze. They felt that it was probably going to be bad if it rained.
“Go outside and see if there’s any hay. We’ll use it to block the hole in the roof,” Odalys said.
With that, she poured out the magic dust from her backpack.
“Odalys, do you want to draw talismans?” Seeing this, Freya immediately came over.
Selah and Stellan also approached. Seeing that Odalys drew a few talismans and stuck them in a few corners of the house. She said, “It’s been a long time since anyone lived in the house. I am just being cautious.”
“Put one on my forehead,” Freya said and moved her face closer.
Seeing this, Odalys tapped her forehead with a brush. Freya was happy as she ran out and said, “Selah, let’s go find some hay.”
“Alright.” Seeing this, Selah hurriedly followed.
Odalys was silent for a while. After drawing a few more talismans, she took them and walked out.
After handing the talisman to Kenny, she said, “Stick them on the car and where you guys are going to stay for safety.” After Kenny took the talisman, his hands trembled in fear. He seemed to understand Odalys a little bit. If she did not say anything, it would definitely be fine.
However, if she made a move, there must be something wrong. Now that she had drawn a talisman, Kenny was worried that this place was suspicious.
“Okay.” Kenny quickly put the talisman away. He gave one to the photographers of each group, kept one for himself, and even stuck one on the cars.
Odalys took the remaining two and walked next door. “Do you need it?” Odalys asked.
When Sophia saw her, she immediately became vigilant. When she saw the talisman she handed over, she said in disdain, “I’m an independent woman. I only believe in science.”
“Alright.” Odalys smiled and put the talisman away.
Sophia was a little embarrassed, but she still reached out her hand. However, she did not expect Odalys to really put the talisman away. Her hand froze on the spot as she watched Odalys turn around and leave.
She thought that Odalys would at least try to convince her, but she didn’t expect Odalys to leave so decisively.
Odalys seemed to have guessed that she would not want it. It also seemed that she did not plan to give it to her. Sophia wondered if Odalys offered it as a show.
“You.” Sophia was furious. When Odalys took back the talisman, Sophia felt a little cold. She then sneezed.
Finnian saw her sneeze and walked towards her with his coat. He handed it to her and said, “Put the coat on.”
“Thank you,” Sophia replied in a low voice. When she took the clothes, she saw Finnian staring at her.
“Why are you looking at me?” Sophia asked in a low voice. After drugging Finnian last night, she always felt a little uneasy, especially when she saw that something was wrong with Finnian today.
He always wanted to touch her thigh. This feeling made her feel disgusted.
“It’s nothing,” Finnian said as he turned around and walked into the house.
Sophia stood outside and looked around. She found a serious problem. She quickly walked into the living room and said, “It’s six o’clock now. It’ll be dark soon. We haven’t had dinner yet, and we haven’t eaten lunch either. How are we going to settle this?”
Francis threw his backpack aside, took off his sunglasses, and pinned them on his collar. “I’m on a diet. I don’t have to eat.”
“If we don’t eat today, we have to prepare for tomorrow. Otherwise, we’ll starve,” Sophia said in a low voice. She recalled that on the deserted island, everyone had food poisoning and diarrhea. She did not want to experience it again. This time, they had to do something.
“Then what do you want?” Francis asked.
After half a second of silence, Sophia said in a low voice, Aren’t we on a mountain? Let’s go and see if there are any pheasants or other prey. We’ll catch one and eat it.” “Alright, let’s go,” Atlas agreed. In any case, he would follow Sophia. He did not care about anything else.
Seeing this, Finnian could only follow. The group of people walked majestically up the mountain behind the village, but they realized that the further they walked, the more remote it became. The people in the village seemed to not want to go out at night.
“This village is a little strange. Why is there no one outside?” Atlas said in confusion. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the people from Group B were cutting grass.
“Looks like Group B is preparing to eat grass,” Atlas said. He even whistled at them and said, “Are you guys eating grass today?”
The people from Group B glanced at them and ignored them. After Odalys was done with the talisman, she walked over.
However, she looked into the depths of the village and asked in confusion, “Why did that scent disappear? I clearly smelled it when I arrived.”
Chapter 110
However, she quickly threw this thought to the back of her mind.
“Let’s familiarize ourselves with the situation in the village first. Then, we’ll see if there’s a river at the back of the mountain,” Odalys said first.
Stellan was wearing dark green loose pants and a gray coat. He walked in front and said, “Follow me.”
“Why are you so careful?” Freya put on her coat and followed.
When Stellan heard her teasing, he looked around the village and said, “The young people here should have left. The rest are the old people and some men who seem to be single.”
Hearing his words, Freya quickly shut up. She also realized why he had said that.
Although everyone came to the village to participate in the variety show, if most of the people in the village were men, in such a remote village, it was not unknown if they would have designs on young women.
They didn’t want to think everyone there was evil, but it was necessary to be careful.
“Originally, I was wondering if I should help the villagers in exchange for food.” Selah was also shocked.
She thought, ‘This is a village in the mountains, after all. It looks beautiful, but it is quite difficult to survive here.’
“If it’s not necessary, don’t disturb them! In any case, the production Group only wants us to stay here for a while. We just have to find our own ways to fill our stomachs,” Odalys said.
It was not that she did not want to interact with the locals, but when she first arrived at the village, the scent she smelled made her wary.
She remembered Evander mentioning that the clothing. The shop was a century-old shop that specialized in customizing clothes. Presumably, a lot of the Stewart family’s clothes were customized at their shop.
She thought, ‘But why did the owner of the shop suddenly take a dead person’s clothes and modify them to give to Percival’s father?’
Odalys couldn’t think too deeply about this matter. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle. Humans were unpredictable. Sometimes, it was best to be on guard. “I agree with you. Besides, the village is too quiet. I’m a little flustered,” Freya said in a low voice.
The cameraman followed behind them while carrying a machine. Three staff members followed behind him and helped him adjust the angle. The scene looked quite harmonious.
An audience member said: [My idol has really grown up! I remember that he was only ten years old when he debuted! At that time, he was still a little kid. Now, he actually knows to be vigilant.]
Another person said: [Fortunately, the people from Group B are wary of things. I think it’s good that they don’t want to interact with the villagers.]
Someone else said: [This is a variety show. If they don’t interact with the villagers, how can they entertain us? Are these people from Group B looking down on the villagers?]
A person said: [Am I the only one who feels that this village is a little freaky? Moreover, why did the villagers all go home before dusk?]
Another person said: [Odalys discriminates against rural people. She needs to be canceled.]
When those haters saw this, they finally found something to talk about. They immediately started scolding Odalys. They even wished they could crawl into the television to criticize Odalys.
The netizens in the live stream watched as Group B passed the village and walked towards the end of the village.
When they entered the forest, everyone’s hearts were in their mouths.
After all, no one knew what would happen in the forest. Everyone from Group A was sitting in the living room, wiping the wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, they were all scrapes and bruises.
“Don’t you think it’s strange? Our car has fallen down, but we’re only bruised,” Sophia suddenly changed the topic. She was a little smug and subconsciously looked at the camera.
The photographer was also very smart. He pushed the camera over and gave her a perfect close-up.
A trace of smugness flashed across Sophia’s eyes. She deliberately turned her head so that when the camera swept past, people could see her perfect side profile and her slightly parted pink lips. This was her trump card.
Back then, her side profile had made her very popular in the entertainment industry.
“That’s right. If it weren’t for Sophia, how could we be so lucky? I’ve heard that you’re quite lucky before, but we didn’t believe it. It’s all thanks to you today,” Atlas immediately praised her.
Sophia smiled in satisfaction. She glanced at them and said, “Don’t say that. We’re all lucky.”
Francis had never interacted with them before, so he remained silent. However, what Atlas and Sophia said made him raise his eyebrows.
He subconsciously looked up at her and realized that Sophia was wearing a V-neck top. Although it was a long-sleeved shirt, he could vaguely see her deep cleavage.
When she sat down, she was always on her side. Her V-neck was faintly visible, and he could see her chest from time to time.
“Are you two close?” Francis suddenly asked. Her words made the atmosphere a little strange.
“She’s my sister,” Atlas said in a low voice. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a low voice, “The Bennett family has never announced it to the public.
“In fact, Sophia is my beloved sister! We watched her grow up, and she’s also my parents’ favorite,” Atlas said as he reached out and touched her head.
When Sophia heard him announce her identity, she was a little stunned and looked at him happily.
However, in order not to be ridiculed, she deliberately turned her face away and said, “Atlas, we agreed to let me pursue my career on my own. Why did you reveal my identity?”
Atlas looked at her coquettish appearance and immediately said, “Yes. It’s all my fault! I just don’t feel good when I see people bully you and misunderstand you. You’re just too kind. You’re always thinking of others.”
As he spoke, Sophia’s eyes turned red. When she turned her head away, she happened to find the camera. She blinked slightly, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She forced a smile and looked beautiful and pitiful.
“I haven’t been bullied or wronged. Everyone is nice and treats me well,” Sophia said in a low voice, but her voice was extremely choked.
Anyone who saw it would think that she had suffered a great grievance, but she was kind and didn’t want to say it.
Finnian stared at her. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He felt that there was something wrong with what had happened to him at the hospital that day.
Since last night, his mind had been filled with her. He even wants to touch her uncontrollably. As long as he touched her, he would feel inexplicably safe.
“Is that so?” Finnian said hoarsely. Clearly, hearing her say these words made him feel disgusted, and even made him lose his appetite.
“Why don’t I believe it?” Finnian suddenly asked. He suddenly wanted to vent the truth in his heart. He had already been frustrated by the image of her in his mind. She was very slutty in his mind.
He had obviously fallen for her before. Seeing her weak and helpless appearance, he would always feel bad for her.
He even forced Odalys to marry Percival in Sophia’s place by agreeing to be with her and take her away from the Bennett family eventually. He ruined Odalys in order to save Sophia.
