章節 45: The Wilderness (5)
'Huh? Was that the Princess's screams just now? What is she up to this time?' While Ronald was walking around in the forest trying to collect a bunch of sticks, he heard a piercing cry over in the distance.
So Ronald quickly dropped everything he was holding on his hand and immediately rushed over to the location of the screeching voice.
About a few seconds later, he arrived to where the Princess was and he saw her sitting down while tightly squeezing one of her legs.
Ronald then noticed that there was a snake bite mark on the leg she was squeezing on, and realized that he had to do something urgently.
Although he didn't know if a venomous snake bit her or not, he didn't want to take the chance to gamble with the Princess's life that way.
"Princess, listen to my instructions right now if you don't want to die. Calm down first, we don't want the venom to spread faster." Ronald then quickly took off the suit that he was wearing and quickly wrapped it above the snake bite.
"Stop it! You're hurting me! Unwrap it right now!" While Ronald was wrapping his suit around Princess Sophia's legs, she could feel the pressure getting more and more intense so she kept nagging Ronald to unwrap it.
However Ronald ignored her cries and just kept on continuing to wrap the suit around her legs until he was sure that the blood flow was completely restricted on her leg.
Afterwards, Ronald picked up her leg and started sucking out the venom.
"STOP! That's disgusting and you're hurting me even more!" Princess Sophia continued to nag Ronald to stop, this was one of the most painful things she has ever gone through in her entire life.
"If you want to die then just tell me and I'll give you a painless death, otherwise shut your mouth and deal with it." Ronald glared at Princess Sophia and threatened her.
Even though he wasn't going to actually kill her, he wanted her to be quiet so he wouldn't get distracted.
After seeing the threatening look on Ronald's face, she instantly stopped talking and gritted her teeth due to the pain.
While Ronald was still sucking out the venom from her leg, Princess Sophia couldn't help but get mesmerized from how serious Ronald looked while he was sucking out the venom.
Although he was suppose to be her kidnapper, she could tell that he was trying to keep her alive at all cost.
So despite the pain Princess Sophia was going through right now, she racked up her brain and started to wonder why he was doing this.
However, the more Princess Sophia kept trying to come up with a proper explanation as to why he had kidnapped her and why he was acting like this, the more questions she had.
Even though the kidnapper had clearly told her that he was using her to lure Ye Fan out, she knew that it definitely wasn't just as simple as that.
Otherwise he could've had easily used a different method to lure Ye Fan out, and not only that but he could've just straight up killed Ye Fan without even having to cause such a huge ruckus by kidnapping her.
And hypothetically speaking, even if he did wanted to kidnap her in order to lure Ye Fan out, then why would her kidnapper go through such lengths just to keep her alive?
Just because she was the Princess of a certain royal family and he was concerned for his life?
Unbelievable.
With all of the trouble she has caused so far to him, it would be better for him to just throw her in a ditch in the middle of nowhere and go into hiding even if she was a Princess.
And with the confidence he had emitted out every time he had fought against someone, Princess Sophia knew for a fact that he wasn't afraid of anyone.
'So why...?'
'Why are you going this far?'
'Are you worried that if I die then you'll get hunted down for the rest of your life?'
'Then why did you kidnap me in the first place?'
'I don't get it…'
If possible, she wanted to directly ask him why he was doing all of this, however she knew that it wasn't a good time right now, so she just kept silent and waited until he was sucking the venom out.
About a couple of minutes later, Ronald finished sucking out the venom and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright Princess, you should be good now, luckily the snake only gave you a dry bite which meant that the amount of venom injected into you was extremely small." Although Ronald said so in a mocking tone, he was genuinely glad that the Princess was fine.
Ronald knew for a fact that all of the adventures that Ye Fan would eventually go through in the far future that involved Princess Sophia would be much harder to complete if something serious happened to Princess Sophia, therefore indirectly making it much harder for Ronald to complete his own plots.
"Now stop giving me trouble and go back inside the cave and obediently wait for me to come back." After double checking that the Princess was completely fine, Ronald turned his back against the Princess and quickly left to go back to gathering resources.
"..." Princess Sophia stood there completely dumbfounded, her kidnapper just left her alone just like that after going through such lengths to ensure that she was alive?
For some reason, she felt a little bit uncomfortable in her heart knowing that her kidnapper left her alone just like that, however she didn't think much about and obediently headed back to the cave and waited for Ronald to come back.
***
Back at one of the most prestigious hospitals in China...
"Lucus, have you managed to track down the Princess yet?" After waking back up at the hospital once again, Ye Fan ordered Lucas to immediately find out where the Princess was.
Even though Ye Fan had completely lost to the masked figure and didn't want to fight him again until he got stronger, he was determined to rescue the Princess back.
"I don't have her exact location boss, however I have a general location of where she is though."
"Really? Where?" Ye Fan was surprised to hear the news from Lucas.
With the speed the masked figure had displayed within the abandoned factory, Ye Fan thought that it was going to be nearly impossible to even track him down.
"She was brought over to the forest that is nearby the abandoned factory."
"Are you sure they didn't go somewhere else?" Ye Fan was confused when he heard what Lucas had said.
He didn't understand why despite the fact that the masked figure could easily go anywhere else, decided to go to one of the most obvious hiding locations.
"Yes boss, I'm 100 percent positive. Also I have another important information for you." Lucas stated with a proud look on his face.
At first, Lucas was also confused as to why the masked figure went to the forest, so he double checked the information in order to make sure that he got the information right.
However, while Lucas was double checking about the information, he had unintentionally discovered something else that could help Ye Fan rescue back the Princess.
"Oh? What is it?" Ye Fan noticed the look on Lucas's face and couldn't help but become curious.
"I've confirmed that the masked figure was actually hired by the Kuangge family." Lucas proudly stated.
"Huh? Are you sure? How does the Kuangge family even have that much resources to hire someone that powerful?" Ye Fan didn't believe it, he knew that the masked figure that he had fought against was much stronger than him, a Grandmaster.
Let alone someone even stronger than a Grandmaster, it was already impossible for someone to hire a Grandmaster to kill someone for money.
So the fact that the Kuangge family even had the resources and capacity to even hire someone like that was absolutely unbelievable.
"Yes boss, I'm certain." Lucas said confidently.
"That's great news! Go inform the Xuan, Roulin, Wanruo, and Yixin family that the Kuangge family had kidnapped the Princess of the Leighton family in China." After seeing the confident look on Lucas's face, Ye Fan was overjoyed.
Although he didn't know why all the beautiful girls he has met in China so far wanted to stand up for such a waste, he knew that all of them valued their businesses a lot, especially Luna.
So if they found out that their businesses had been on a rapid decline because of the Kuangge family, not only will they try and oppose the Kuangge family together, but they'll also be grateful to him after he tell them about this spectacular information.
Hitting two birds with one stone!
"Okay boss, I'll do that right now." Lucas waved goodbye to Ye Fan and then started to head out of the hospital room.
However right after Lucas opened the door, he saw that Iris was standing right at the opposite side of the door.
"Oh hello Miss Iris, you came just in time. The boss should be available now." Lucas stepped aside in order for Iris to enter the room.
"..." Iris didn't say anything but glared at Lucas for a brief second without him noticing before entering Ye Fan's room.
"Hello Iris... I have quite a few things I want to talk to you about." Although Ye Fan's trust for Iris dropped significantly ever since he had gotten beaten up by her, he still firmly believed that Iris hadn't betrayed him yet.
But even so, he still wanted to hear a reasonable explanation as to why Iris tried to suddenly kill him.
"Master, I know what you're about to ask, but that's not as important right now. What's more important is that Ronald has gone missing!" Iris tried her best to maintain a straight face, however she was extremely worried that something might've happen to Ronald.
Back during her previous life, she remembered that Ronald had been stuck in jail for a whole two weeks straight before he was released out of jail.
But now that he's been bailed out of jail in advance and all of a sudden disappeared in a blink of an eye, she couldn't use her knowledge she had from the future to find out where Ronald went.
However, she had a strong feeling that Ye Fan knew where he was.
"That waste has gone missing? Weren't you suppose to monitor him at all times?" Ye Fan was dumbfounded.
He knew that with Iris's skills, it was impossible for her to lose track of someone that was incredibly stealthy, let alone a brainless rich second generation.
So Ye Fan couldn't help but look at Iris suspiciously and his trust for her decreased again.
There was definitely something going on that Iris didn't want to tell him, however he couldn't really do anything about it now since he was still stuck and recovering in this stupid hospital bed.
"Yes... I'm sorry master, but I don't know how he disappeared all of a sudden. Do you possibly know where he went off to?" Iris tried her best to hold back her killing intent when she heard Ye Fan call Ronald a waste.
She knew that Ye Fan was already suspicious of her ever since she had stabbed him a few days ago, so she knew that if she acted up again then it'll be impossible for her to find out where Ronald was.
"Well I would like to know that as well, however I just discussed with Lucas just about a minute ago and learned that the Kuangge family had hired someone to kidnap the Princess of the Leighton, and that kidnapper went into the forest that's nearby the mountains, so go check over there for me and let me know if you manage to find Ronald over there as well."
Ye Fan had a feeling that Ronald had cooperated with the masked figure in order to kidnap the Princess of the Leighton family, meaning that if Iris manages to find out where Ronald was, he could potentially expose that the Kuangge family kidnapped the Princess of the Leighton family to the entirety of China, causing the Kuangge family to get significantly weaker.
After hearing what Ye Fan had said, Iris didn't even bother to reply back to Ye Fan and quickly rushed out of his room with an extremely worried look on her face.
Even though Iris didn't know if Ronald had really kidnapped the Princess of the Leighton family, she didn't care about it anyways.
What she was mainly worried about was all of the dangers Ronald would eventually face if he really had decided to kidnap the Princess of the Leighton family.
'Ye Fan, I swear, if anything happens to Ronald, no matter who did it or why...'
'I promise that even if I have to chase you all the way to the ends of the world.'
'Not only will I torture you to death, but I will also MURDER everyone you love...'
'Infront of your very own eyes.'
