Chapter 269: SHE FREAKED OUT

At first, Veronica thought it was a carnivore. However, after turning around, she had to change her mind.

When she saw someone standing right behind her and she didn't sense anything, she was spooked the hell out.

"Ah!" she gasped and stumbled backward. She had no weapon with her to defend herself.

The person was calm as if he or she was expecting her to be startled. Before Veronica could shout, her mouth was covered. 

"Umm! Umm!"

Veronica wanted to scream but she couldn't. Since she couldn't alert others, she just threw a punch – right across the face.

The person wasn't ready to take a punch. Even so, that person didn't let go of her mouth.

Veronica couldn't tell who it was but from the features, smell, and strength, she could guess it was a man.

'I know what to do.' She narrowed her eyes. She hadn't forgotten two months of training. 

Without hesitation, she kicked him, aiming at his weakest spot.
