Chapter 57

In the sky, the helicopter was shining bright lights down on us. We wanted to turn around and run back to the old road when, in the bushes, five gray wolves jumped out, blocking our way. They growled, baring their sharp teeth at us.

"Darian, you should obediently follow us, and you will be safe. If you resist, don't blame us for hurting you." The mechanical voice on the helicopter rang out.

I looked at Darian. Sweat was beaded on his forehead, and his breathing was rapid, but there was not a trace of panic on his face. I wouldn't have known he was stressed if his hand hadn't squeezed mine.

I vaguely guessed that they were targeting Darian, not me. I wonder, who wants to make things difficult for Darian like that? A name suddenly appeared in my head, but I wasn't sure if I guessed it right.

"Darian, are you done thinking? Slowly, you walk towards the wolves. Don't resist, and you won't be able to escape." The mechanical voice was a bit impatient.

In this case, I don't know what to do.
