Chapter 256 Come in with me, both of you
Aimee looked at Patrick and asked softly, "Darling, what should we do now?"
It was not impossible to rush forward and fight recklessly now.
If they continued to wait just to be on the safe side, they didn't know how long they will have to wait. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
For them, time was not enough.
Patrick was also thinking about this question that should they rush over now.
Just when they were thinking, suddenly an old voice sounded, "Friends from afar, please come in and
have a seat."
As soon as they heard so, the expressions of Aimee and Patrick instantly tensed up, and then there
was a long silence.
The old voice sounded not in a hurry, but just waited patiently, without urging or showing any anger.
Patrick and Aimee looked at each other, held their breath, and could only communicate with each other
at the moment.
As of now, there was no other choice.
Patrick took Aimee's hand and walked out first.
When the two of them came out of the dark, they naturally received countless hostile sights.
However, among these gazes, they noticed that there was a gaze that was benevolent, kind, and even
indescribably excited.
This made the two of them wonder for a moment, not knowing where this sight came from.
Patrick held Aimee's hand tightly, keeping her a little behind him.
If they attacked them, he can quickly protect her behind him. In this way, even if he was targeted, as
long as Aimee was not in danger, it was enough.
Aimee thought the same way, always looking for an opportunity to move from behind Patrick to the
front.
However, her strength was not enough to compete with Patrick.
Aimee felt a little helpless. She knew she wouldn't be able to cure him. Now she was no longer his
opponent.
Aware of Aimee's emotions, Patrick was really helpless.
In such a time, this girl actually still had the mood to compete with him.
He didn't even know if he was going to praise her for being careless.
The two finally reached the main entrance and saw an old man.
That man probably was the head of Veggia Village. With white hair and white beard, he was holding a
dragon-headed crutch, looking calm and prestigious.
Aimee and Patrick stood in front of him. Although they still couldn't figure out what he wanted to do,
they could feel that the old man had no hostility towards them.
This alone was enough for Aimee and Patrick to breathe a sigh of relief.
At least, judging from the current situation, they were not in any danger for the time being.
Although the man was very old, his eyes were still shrewd and bright. A pair of hawk-like eyes were
watching Aimee and Patrick. Seeing that the two of them didn't have any frightened expressions, the
old man finally said, "Why do you come from afar to the remote village?"
Aimee was about to speak, but her hand was held by Patrick's. Patrick said, "I don't want to offend, but
we do come here with something and want to ask for advice."
The old man looked at Patrick , and naturally saw his movement clearly.
His face was expressionless, but his eyes were shining, telling Aimee and Patrick that he was not
convinced by Patrick's words.
Patrick was not in a hurry either, and knew how to negotiate with people.
Although the current situation seemed to be unfavorable to them, it did not affect anything.
In this case, it was even more important to calm themselves down, so as not to turn themselves into
the weaker party, which was not convenient for negotiation.
The old man was waiting for a chance when he could see the two of them flustering and without
confidence.
But, no.
Aimee and Patrick were both composed and he could not find any signs of panic at all.
The old man finally opened his mouth again and said, "In that case, you two can come in with me."
As soon as he said this, the other people present immediately became nervous.
"Mr. Benton, how can outsiders be allowed in?" An old man who was about the same age as the head
of village opened his mouth, and was extremely dissatisfied with this decision.
The head of the village, Lorenzo Nicholso, said, "Let them in."
Everyone had no choice but to let Aimee and Patrick in.
It was just that the way they looked at Aimee and Patrick was even more hostile.
Aimee and Patrick's hands were still tightly held together.
They didn't whisper to each other, and they didn't look around randomly. Instead, they used their
peripheral vision to look at the road and environment they passed by.
What made them disappointed was that this seemed to be a one-way route, and it was easy to get in
from here, but it was obvious that this was not the way to get out.
As they guessed, this place was quite defensive against the outside world.
As far as Aimee can see from the corners of her eyes, there were already several traps.
She could even feel that if they really broke in from here, they might be killed by these traps. This
discovery made Aimee cautious a little bit more.
Now, they had really entered a situation where there was no return.
Finally, they were brought to a place similar to a chamber.
The old man sat down on the main seat, and the others sat or stood around him.
They all watched Aimee and Patrick with hostile eyes, telling Aimee and Patrick with their clenched fists
that as long as the two of them dared to do anything, they would immediately attack them and let the
two of them directly be buried here.
At this moment, Aimee and Patrick naturally wouldn't be aggressive, and they wouldn't make any
dangerous moves at all.
After all, their current situation was like they were at their mercy, and they may be easily killed at any
time.
Finally, after a long silence, Lorenzo spoke.
"How did you two get here?" asked Lorenzo.
Aimee and Patrick didn't look at each other, nor did they hide anything. They explained the situation
directly.
They knew very well that the more honest they were at this moment, the better it was for them.
Sure enough, when Lorenzo heard that the two of them climbed up here, surprise flashed across his
eyes, but he was not angry.
He said, "I have to admit you two are really outstanding."
Of course, this can't be regarded as a compliment, but at least he didn't get angry because of it, which
made Patrick and Aimee feel a little more confident.
