Chapter 1252 The Bait

1252 The Bait

Lory leaned back in the car seat while staring at the cell phone screen with intent eyes. A few moments later the mark indicating Zhao Li Xin's whereabouts had reached its destination. Lory subconsciously straightened her back while biting her lip nervously soon her whole being became tense.

The blue mark flashed for a moment then suddenly the phone screen glitched for a few moments and then the words 'Sorry, we cannot determine your location' appeared, then the red text 'Error' appeared on the map on the GPS and the blue mark disappeared. Lory froze for a long time after that she let out a heavy sigh.

Lory thought it would be at least a few hours until the GPS lost its function this problematic cause meant there was something powerful inside the labyrinth that disrupted the signal indicating the labyrinth was more dangerous than she had expected.

Lory then tried to send a message to Zhao Li Xin then waited a few minutes sadly the message was not received by Zhao Li Xin's cell phone. feeling angry and frustrated she almost threw her cell phone thankfully she managed to hold her anger.

Lory pressed her forehead against the steering wheel while thinking about whether she should follow Zhao Li Xin or not, but he had promised to let her explore the Labyrinth alone to train her cultivation. Lory was also worried that if she didn't keep her promise she would disappoint Zhao Li Xin or even worse, she might end up hurting his self-esteem.

Lory was in a dilemma, she didn't know what to do, then suddenly her phone rang.

Lory answered half-heartedly, "Yeah!"

"Yo, princess, I think we found a way to enter Luxemborough" Garrof's voice sounded excited.

Lory leaned her head against the car headrest, clearly not in the mood to celebrate, "Okay, I'm coming right away" she said perfunctoryly.

Garrof got curious after he noticed Lory's weak voice "By the way, how is Mr. Zhao, has he entered the labyrinth?"

Lory was reminded again of the loss of communication between him and Zhao Li Xin and her mood instantly plummeted, "He is..."

"Um, see you at the house," Garrof felt she was in a bad mood hence he didn't dare to probe further.

Lory hung up the phone and then fell silent. She turned her gaze outside, and for a moment he was lost in thoughts, after a while Lory managed to collect herself and then started the car engine. Lory blew her cheeks, she started the engine then left the place with a heavy heart.

Zhao Li Xin used her lightness skills, she moved nimbly between the branches and swayed gracefully. He felt excited because he could finally use his power freely so he increased his speed to the limit.

As a result, he felt disappointed with his current strength after realizing his movements were slower than before. Zhao Li Xin became more and more convinced that he made the right decision to train alone in the labyrinth. As long as the place lived up to its reputation he was sure that after this his power would grow rapidly.

Bella smiles in satisfaction seeing the little boy jumping around in her palm just because of a little kiss, this is also the reason why she keeps him rather than the other two not only because he is one of the best hackers she knows but also because he is easier to control.

Her cell phone suddenly rang, Bella picked up the phone and went to the balcony.

"Hello,"

"Bella where are you, we have a photo shoot with Voss magazine, do you know how hard I worked to get you on the cover of this magazine, do you want to waste all our efforts?!" shouted the man behind the phone.

Bella's eyebrows furrowed, she forgot she had a job today even though the job was just a cover to cover her true identity but frankly, she liked this job, the glamorous life, the luxurious parties, hanging out with rich and famous people let alone have thousands of crazy fans cheered her name, who didn't like living like that.

Unfortunately, since childhood, Bella suffered from a borderline personality disorder which caused her to be unable to regulate her emotions because of that she was involved with violent and criminal activities since she was young and since then she has been in and out of prison many times.

Fortunately, because of the Dark Age War, all data about her disappeared due to attacks by demon beasts and the black dragon Nazareth, therefore Bella was able to start a new life as Bella Quinn after the war ended, unfortunately, she couldn't change her nature.

"Bella did you hear me?" the man behind the phone berated her.

"Bella I found them headed to the Gray Valley!" Izzy shouted from the other room

Bella's eyes lit up "I called you later!" "Bella - Bel—"

Bella hung up her phone without care and rushed toward Izzy with long strides "What are they doing there?"

"According to the information from the Black Crow Guild's assignment logged, they entered the labyrinth yesterday," said Izzy.

"Labyrinth.." Bella grinned evilly "We can kill them there and no one would know"

"But the boss said—" Izzy hesitated.

"No one knows if you didn't say anything" Bella whispered in his ears.

Izzy could feel the hot blood rush to his head, the young boy tacitly agreed, "What about the others?" Izzy glances toward the new members in the other room.

"I'll handle them" The corner of her lips curl into a seductive smile.
