âYouâd better be here soon.
Time is running out.
Turn right once you exit the tunnel.
Head to the dilapidated cabin on the hillside of Stoney Mountain.
â The kidnapper deliberately lowered his voice over the phone.
Studying the map on her carâs navigation system, she took a right turn and headed up the rocky mountain road.
Parked at the end of the road was a car with a fake license plate.
Lucinda carefully compared it with the picture Dark Bell had sent her.
Sure enough, it was the car the kidnappers used to take Noelle away.
She hid her car in between the trees and climbed up the mountain path alone.
The log cabin was located deep in the forest.
It looked very old and shabby, even from afar.
In fact, it was more like a shed than a cabin.
Without hesitation, Lucinda rushed to the door and pushed it open.
âWow, youâre early.
â
The kidnapper was wearing a thick black ski mask, obscuring the expression on his face.
Noelle was lying at his feet, unconscious and covered in bruises.
Seeing this, Lucindaâs eyes took on a dangerous Light.
âLet her go, and then we can talk.
â
Her voice was calm.
Looking around the room, she pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at him indifferently.
The kidnapper was irritated by her calm reaction, so he grabbed Noelle by the collar and pressed a knife against her neck.
âHow dare you try to bargain with me? Do you really think I wonât kill her right now?â
âI know you wonât.
â
Lucinda locked eyes with him fearlessly, which sent a shiver down his spine.

She looked small, but her imposing aura was hard to ignore.
Even though he was wearing a mask, he was obviously shocked.
Meanwhile, in the forest behind the cabin, Melody and her bodyguard Galen Astley were observing their interaction through binoculars.
They had planted a bug on the kidnapperâs cap so that they could clearly hear the conversation between them.
âShe wants us to free that girl? Dream on!â
Melody snorted contemptuously.
She barked into the microphone, which was connected to the kidnapperâs Bluetooth earphone, âDonât listen to her! I donât know what sheâs up to, but keep stalling for time.
We canât let her go.
