“Where did you go?” Cheryl looked at him angrily. “I thought you left me alone and ran off!”
“Um… I went to check out the room and picked up some breakfast on the way. We are in a hurry today, so we’ll be leaving after the meal.”
Most importantly, he received a call from Anna Coleman to avoid Shaun Baker as much as possible.
Cheryl was still slightly angry in her heart. After washing up, she ate her food quietly.
Soon, the two people left the inn room.
“Do you need to inform your friend?” Cheryl asked when they reached the ground floor.
“No need for that. I’ve already informed the inn receptionists. They’ll help me to inform him. It was an occasional encounter anyways. We’ve already met with an unnecessary issue yesterday, hopefully everything goes well on today’s trip,” Alex said as he shook his head.
However, just as they walked out of the inn, they encountered Soraya Melvis.
Soraya glanced at them coldly and brushed past them.
She still did not know that the man before her was the person who rescued her yesterday. Moreover, he was Alex Rockefeller from Divine Constabulary of South California whom she wanted to look for so badly.
“Hold up!” She suddenly turned over and shouted out to Alex.
In fact, if Zachary had not strongly requested him to hide his identity temporarily, he did not have to avoid her at all. At this moment, he turned his body slightly. “Yes, anything?”
Soraya took a close look at Alex and Cheryl for a moment. She realized that they did not have any fluctuation of inner force in their bodies, which meant that they were mere ordinary people and could not possibly be related to yesterday’s killing. So, she asked, “Which room is your friend staying in?”
Alex frowned and said, “Why are you looking for him?”
Soraya said, “He did me a big favor last night and I want to thank him personally.”
“206! But, I suggest that you visit him at a later hour so that you won’t interrupt his morning exercise.”
“What morning exercise?”
Soraya was stunned for a moment Immediately afterwards, she reacted. “Ugh! You’re such a pervert! Compared to your friend, you’re so far behind! Some people should really open their eyes wide open when looking for a boyfriend. Don’t get cheated by his looks only. Guys with good outer appearance tend to have to be ill intentioned.”
Cheryl said, “You should be thanking him.”
“What should I thank him for?”
“Because I told you my friend’s room number,” Alex said as he took over the conversation. Then, he waved his hand and pulled Cheryl to leave the inn.
Not long after they left the inn, a helicopter landed on somewhere not far away. Shaun rushed over while bringing along two highly skilled members of Divine Constabulary.
Even Alex, who was on the path in the small town of Morro leading to the western rainforest, could see the descending helicopter and Shaun who jumped off from the helicopter.
‘No wonder he’s a Grandmaster!’ Alex did not stop after taking a glance. He took Cheryl on the jungle path.
Chery asked, “Why didn’t you tell that woman just now that you were the one who saved her yesterday?”
Alex replied, “There’s no need for that!”
Soon, the narrow path under the two people’s feet was getting less obvious. It had become a rugged grassy road, with bushes and branches sprouting everywhere. From time to time, they could even see snakes and rats being startled, causing Cheryl to shriek in fear repeatedly.
Alex opened up the hand drawn map, which was given to him by James Coney before he left, and took a look. He identified a direction but it was getting harder to walk until the point that there was nowhere to put their feet down. He squatted down. “Let me carry you on my back!”
“It’s fine. I can walk on my own!”
As a result, she stubbornly took a few steps forward, only to see an arm thick flower spotted snake. She was so frightened that she fell down and sat on the ground. Then, she hurriedly jumped up and jumped back to Alex’s side.
Alex smiled. “I already told you to let me carry you. What are you doing?”
Cheryl glared at him and said, “Can’t you tell that I’m angry?”
