Chapter 168

“Lone Wolf? What are you doing here?” Madeline said in astonishment. She struggled through the words as the thread remained tightened around her neck.

“They are coming. Quick, hide!” Lone Wolf whispered as he shoved the woman into a nearby room. Confused by the situation, Madeline’s first instinct was to follow suit and hide in a corner. Someone was rushing down the corridor as she fought to gather her breath. She could feel Lone Wolf’s uneasiness rising as the footsteps approached. Her curiosity regarding the individual’s identity was piqued.

The person must be fearsome enough to worry Lone Wolf, a top-tier killer.

When the footsteps became more distant, Lone Wolf breathed a sigh of relief and helped Madeline to her feet.

“It isn’t safe here. Follow me!” the man immediately pulled her and left the

room.

However, Madeline broke free from his grip before he could make it out of the door. She said in a hushed tone, “I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on. Also, how did you even recognize me? I thought I did a great job in disguising myself.”

“I told you I’m can’t be duped easily. I base a person’s identity on their body structure rather than their appearance.” Lone Wolf glanced at Madeline and smiled confidently.

“Body structure?”

“That’s correct. Although one’s appearance may be identical, one’s body structure is unmistakably unique. We must never kill the wrong person.

Otherwise, we will not be rewarded,” Lone Wolf emphasized.

Madeline had only heard of corpse identification based on the body structure. It was her first time hearing that bodily form could be used to identify a living individual.

Lone Wolf seemed to be able to read her mind. He continued before she could probe further, “There’s no need to be alarmed. There are many things in the world that you don’t know about.”

She was shocked to hear that he knew what she was thinking. However, she soon changed the subject by remarking, “You are right. However, I’m curious why a top-notch killer like you appear here. Why are you so afraid?”

“Hey! You sly woman!” Lone Wolf hissed. His pale frightened expression

had been replaced by a menacing smile. “All right then, the game begins!” He opened the door and chased after Madeline excitedly.

The woman retraced her footsteps and ran toward the elevator. She knew she had to escape the place as quickly as possible. Although she did not know why Lone Wolf was present, it was not for good reasons.

She quickly pressed the elevator button and kept an anxious eye as it remained on the third floor. Her heart raced as she heard Lone Wolf’s threatening calls, “Where are you, pretty lady? Please hide well. I’m coming for you!”

The elevator appeared to be stuck on the third floor indefinitely. In a panic, she dashed to the stairwell and began rushing down the steps. Lone Wolf

knew Madeline’s whereabouts when he

heard the door open. However, he did not give chase. Instead, he looked at the surveillance camera near the stairwell

and returned to the elevator. He pushed the button to the first level and made his way down.

Madeline was panting furiously by the time she arrived at the first level. She was overjoyed to see the exit door and thought she was finally able to arrive at the main hall. I need to get out of here and inform Albert to leave immediately. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When she pushed open the door, she was met with an unexpected sight. It was a laboratory made of clear glass. There was no one inside, but all the lights were on.

Where am I? Am I in the basement instead of the first floor? She decided to retrace her steps and return to the

stairwell. However, she discovered that

the door was jammed. The elevator arrived while she was fiddling with the knob.

The woman quickly found a place to hide, in fear that Lone Wolf would come after her. She held her breath and stared at the elevator door. After a long period of silence, she mustered the courage to approach the elevator as it was her only way of escape.

Great, no one’s in here. Madeline cheered to herself when she realized the elevator was empty. She clicked the first level button after determining she was in the basement. Suddenly, a set of hands emerged and pried the door open just as it was about to close.

Madeline froze as she heard the familiar voice, “We meet again, pretty one.”

“You!” she immediately kicked the hand

resting on the elevator door. However, Lone Wolf skillfully dodged the attack. “There’s no need to get rough. Let’s talk nicely, shall we? You’ll lose out in a fight against me.”

“What do you want?” Madeline glared at him.

Lone Wolf pushed the woman into a corner as he entered the elevator. She was restrained by the throat before she could flee. The man teased when he saw beads of sweat rolling down her face, “Don’t be scared, pretty lady. I just need a small favor from you.”
