Chapitre 320: Chapter 320: Blessing in Disguise (10)

After walking about 200 steps, Ruby Gregory heard the sound of an iron door being pushed open. She was dragged roughly inside, her legs and feet tied up, and then shoved to the ground.

There was something soft on the ground, so Ruby's fall didn't hurt too much. With a blindfold still covering her eyes, she listened to the two men leave, followed by the sound of the iron door closing. The world went silent for about a minute before Ruby heard a young voice: "Everything's done, what's next?"

Ruby did not hear anyone answer, but she guessed the man was making a phone call. As expected, after several seconds, the man's voice came again: "Alright, once the ransom is in the account, I'll do exactly as you say."

It seemed like he hung up the phone, as Ruby heard another man's voice, a somewhat ruffian-like tone: "What did she say?"

"She said the woman is ours now, and we should find more men to…" The man on the phone trailed off, but Ruby understood all too well what he was implying.
