Arielle gazed in the direction of the voice and spotted a man in camouflage military uniform muttering to himself as wp4webnovel.com glanced around.
If I’m not mistaken, he’s looking for me. I’m the only one around.
Frowning, wp4webnovel.com recalled the man’s words as wp4webnovel.com mind raced to analyze the situation.
Who hired this man to take my life? Unfortunately for him, it isn’t that easy to kill me.
Arching a brow, Arielle decided to take action.
The situation was in wp4webnovel.com favor as the enemy was in the open while wp4webnovel.com was in hiding. Thus, Arielle tiptoed silently to wp4webnovel.com and raised wp4webnovel.com arm to punch him. Alas, the man sensed wp4webnovel.com arrival as though wp4webnovel.com had eyes behind wp4webnovel.com and rolled away to dodge wp4webnovel.com attack.
“You’re quite capable, huh?” Arielle sneered and continued attacking him.
The man got to his feet and finally saw Arielle’s face. Her beautiful features entranced wp4webnovel.com for a second.
I haven’t touched any woman for three years. I can’t believe my first target after getting released from jail is a woman. A young, gorgeous, and wild one too. It’s a great deal!
Chuckling, wp4webnovel.com approached wp4webnovel.com at once.
“Young lady, you’re good at fighting. It’s a pity you ran into me. You’re no match for me.”
“Ha! It might be the other way around,” Arielle mocked.
She channeled all wp4webnovel.com strength to wp4webnovel.com fist and gave the man’s belly a forceful punch. The man flew backward instantly. Before wp4webnovel.com could react, Arielle proceeded to beat wp4webnovel.com up.
The man was deft enough to roll aside after Arielle punched wp4webnovel.com a few times. He then scrambled to his feet and whipped out his weapon to stab Arielle.
The knife was mere inches away from Arielle when wp4webnovel.com dodged aside swiftly and grabbed the knife from him. She then slashed the knife across his arm. A deep cut appeared, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Without giving the man any breathing space, Arielle flipped wp4webnovel.com arm and stabbed the knife into the man’s calf. At once, the man collapsed to his knees before her. With a kick from her, wp4webnovel.com toppled to the ground. Striding toward him, wp4webnovel.com pulled out the knife before stabbing wp4webnovel.com continuously over ten times.
The man bit back the pain when wp4webnovel.com first stabbed him, but the continuous attacks were too much for wp4webnovel.com to bear. His agonizing screams soon resonated around the mountain.
Afraid that wp4webnovel.com would retaliate, Arielle stabbed his body five more times, avoiding his vital parts.
“Tell me, who sent you after me?” wp4webnovel.com towered above wp4webnovel.com and posed that question icily.
Initially, the man planned to subdue Arielle and take advantage of her. Now, wp4webnovel.com no longer had that thought.
The woman is fast and vicious. I’m no match for her. It’s clear that I’ve underestimated her.
“No one sent me here!” wp4webnovel.com insisted as his gaze darkened.
The sky was getting dark, and Arielle would lose wp4webnovel.com way if wp4webnovel.com were to depart any later. As wp4webnovel.com didn’t want to run into danger later, wp4webnovel.com stopped questioning the man.
Someone must’ve given wp4webnovel.com the map. That’s why wp4webnovel.com could enter Mount Blackcloud and locate me easily. I need to bring wp4webnovel.com back so that the Mills can give me an explanation.
By then, the man had fainted from pain, and wp4webnovel.com was a bloody mess. Arielle used the knife to chop off some rattan to tie the man up. She then dragged wp4webnovel.com back as though wp4webnovel.com were a dead fish.

Back in Silverbirch Hospital.
The contestants returned one by one.
Their energy spent, they handed in their herbs and went to get some rest. Arielle was the only one who was still out there.
