Shaun then exined, "If that person is holding Penny hostage, then he or she isn''t going to care that we''re here. Penny might just die if the person loses their mind in a fit of anger. We need to find her-and fast!"


    Monica nodded, assuring them that she would not be giving such ludicrous ideas anymore. She remembered the howling wings, the shifting rocks, and more importantly, something that sounded like trash


    cans.


    "I remember a ce with garbage sorting boxes enclosed by iron sheets. That must be what I heard! I don''t know how I bumped into it, but I remember a very distinctive box-like sound."


    Monica might have missed that detail under normal circumstances because it was just a small sound. Given the nature of the emergency, she remembered it vividly and could even tell that it sounded like that of a trash can.


    "There''s only one ce around here that has a trash can like that. If I''m not mistaken, it''s on our left." The producer pointed in that direction with a stern expression. They were all familiar with that area as the director had brought most of the actors there during filming.


    No one expected something so grave to happen under such circumstances.


    "Let''s split up. The sooner we find Penny, the better. Things are only going to be more dangerous with time."


    The director and producer headed in the same direction while Monica followed Lucas closely.


    "Please control your voice. Even if you''re frightened, you mustn''t scream or alert anyone. Am I clear?" Lucas''s condescending tone unnerved Monica slightly, but she had to endure for the sake of ensuring that for the moment.


    "I understand, Mister Lucas," she muttered.


    Lucas did not take it to heart. He needed her to stay absolutely calm, and the least she could do was not hinder him.


    Penny shivered behind the trash can in the dark. Under cover of darkness, she carefully moved her numb feet and attempted to relocate to a safer spot.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    However, she stepped on some stones by ident, and the noise made her stand out in the quiet mountain.


    Rndughed ferociously. "Hehehe, got you, Penny! I''ming! Why did you have to be so stubborn? If you had waited there for me, I would''ve promised to make it quick. But you didn''t listen. You''ve wasted so much of my time searching for you, so I have no choice but to take my anger out on you! Hahaha!"


    Rnd had been searching for her on the deserted mountain for a long time and did not expect her to hide behind him. The veins on his forehead twitched, and he smiled viciously as he cracked his knuckles.


    At that moment, he could not tell whether his surge of excitement was due topleting the task assigned by Tracy or the anticipation of soon venting his anger on Penny.


    When he was fulfilling Tracy''s task, he simply did so because he believed himself to be in the same boat as her. He would do whatever Tracy asked him to do.


    Somehow, there was a sense of excitement as he held Penny''s fragile neck and imagined her slowly being drained of her breath.


    With that in mind, Rnd took slow and menacing steps toward Penny.
