Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2091

Outdoors, Rachel Wood had trouble seeing anything as it wasn't as bright as being in big cities.

She wasn't familiar with the area, and she had no idea where to go. She continued to run forward in the darkness, completely disregarding her surroundings.

Behind her, she could vaguely hear the men chasing after her, but she ignored them. She continued running despite her dizziness and feeling weak in the knees. She knew it might be her only chance of escaping after the only opportunity for her to break free presented itself.

Moreover, Rachel wouldn't want to spend the rest of her life in this mountainous village sleeping with those men. She wanted to return to Atlantis to live a normal life and grow old with Sebastian Brenand.

When she thought of Sebastian, she felt the adrenaline energizing her once again.

"Everybody! Quickly, get up! The b*tch ran away from our house. Come out and help us chase her down!"

Rachel heard the man in his thirties shouting before the sound of doors swinging open.

Her heart pounded upon realizing that the situation was becoming dire.

Catching a glimpse of a bush nearby, a thought occurred to her, prompting her to jump directly into the bush and cover herself with straw.

Rachel shivered beneath the bush, unsure if they would replace her.

The only thing she knew was that the entire village might be searching for her.

She was alone in the dark, unfamiliar with the roads around the area. She couldn't possibly outrun them all.

Rachel had to make a bet on her luck by hiding here, praying they wouldn't replace her.

She would wait until the break of dawn and hope that by then, everyone in the village would've lost their patience and gone back to sleep.

She stood a much better chance if she only had to hide from the men who held her captive.

Besides, during the day, she'd be able to see the roads clearly and consider her options then.

Soon, the family of men arrived near the bush Rachel was hiding under panting and cursing. "Where did that b*tch go? Why didn't you bring a torchlight?"

"I'll head back and get it right now."

"You bunch of losers. You can't even keep an eye on one woman."

Her heart racing, Rachel's entire body shivered when she heard their voices. She had to get a grip of herself to avoid being discovered, so she willed herself to stop shivering and even ceased breathing in fear.

It was so dark. Only God knew how terrified she was right then. Such a harrowing experience would

traumatize her for the rest of her life, she knew.

Right then, Rachel heard many footsteps approaching, all coming to a stop nearby.

It seemed like a crowd had gathered around her, searching for her with torchlights shining around the bushes.

The entire world suddenly brightened.
