Chapter 497

Chapter 497 He Carried Her on His Back Although she had night vision glasses, she could see everything in the jungle clearly, but Paige accidentally tripped over the stones at her feet.

“Be careful.” Martin took her into his arms in time, ‘Did you hurt your foot?”

Before Paige could answer, Martin had already squatted down, asked her to sit on his lap, and took off her shoes to have a look.

The feet were fine, but there were a few scratches on the ankles from the branches, which looked red, which made people feel distressed.

The little girl’s skin was already tender, but now these few red marks made Martin couldn’t help asking, “Does it hurt?”

Paige shook her head.

If she hadn’t seen these marks with her own eyes, she would have no idea that she was scratched by a branch. She never cared about such small injuries.

For her, it didn’t even count as an injury.

At most it was the branches tickling her.

“What about the foot, did it hurt when you tripped over a rock just now? Can you walk?”

“Yes, it’s fine.” Paige felt that he was making a big fuss, “I’m not so delicate.”

After Martin helped her put on her shoes, he couldn’t help but carry her on his back.

“I’m really fine.”

“I want to carry you.” Martin walked forward step by step with her on his back, “You’re too light, you must have not eaten well these two days.”

“I used to be heavy?”

“You used to be lighter, but now you’re even lighter.” Martin slowed down because he was carrying her on his back, “You should eat more in the future, I will cook all your favorite dishes now, and I will cook them for you later..”

“You’ve been secretly practicing these days?”

“It’s an upright practice.” The corners of Martin’s lips twitched slightly, with a warm and doting smile, “What else do you expect me to know?”

“Um?”

“In other words, where can I improve? Please give me some advice.” Martin smiled softly again.

Paige put her arms around his neck, smiled, and just wanted to speak, the next second, she suddenly covered his lips, and whispered in his car, “There is someone.”

Martin also heard the movement, he put the little girl down, and the two hid in a secret place, Martin didn’t forget to pull the little girl into his arms, fearing that she might be in danger.

There were two men who shone flashlights around the jungle and complained.

“It’s so cold, and we still have to go out to patrol… Let me tell you, the elders are thinking too much.

How could the traitor come back? She wouldn’t even dare to go near here even if she had a hundred guts.”

“If she really dares to come back, it’s just the two of us. We’re no match for her at all… Hey, it’s just a formality. I think the traitor is dead long ago. It’s just that the thing hasn’t been found yet. What the elders care about is that thing.”

“No, you’re still superficial. She used to be the person most valued by the elders, but later she betrayed us. The elders were frustrated so they decided to kill her.”

“Women, in the end, they’re still lost in the love. Don’t want such a bright future. If it were me, I would definitely choose power. Love is nothing.”

“Hey, we have to patrol here in the middle of the night, why don’t we stop patrolling and let’s have a drink later? It’s cold, and it’s best to drink some wine to warm our stomachs.”

“If the elders find that we two are lazy, you know better than me that we will die a miserable death.”

“Okay, okay, go drink after visiting here, hey, life is hard…”

Martin and Paige heard their voices getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, so they met their eyes and got up.

Martin carried the girl on his back again, “It seems that the person they are talking about is Yana, Lamont’s girlfriend.”

Paige didn’t twitch, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said softly, “I didn’t expect Yana to have a high status in the organization before.”

To be unanimously valued by the elders must be quite capable.

Lamont used to think that Yana was a good girl, so weak…

It seemed that Yana had always been a well–behaved image in front of Lamont and parents, which was somewhat similar to her.

“You think, she has disappeared for a year, and no one in the organization can find her. This shows that she is really capable.” Martin analyzed.

They didn’t know what kind of organization it was, whether they had heard of it before.

“She can hide for more than three hundred days, she is really powerful.” Paige looked at Martin’s side face again, and said in a gentle voice, “It seems that we guessed right, Yana really wanted to leave the organization for the sake of Lamont. As a result, it broke the elders‘ hearts and she was ordered to die by them.”

“Love and righteousness are important.” Martin commented, “She is a good person.”

“I don’t know if she is hiding near here.” Paige guessed, “The most dangerous place is perhaps the safest place?”

“Not too possible.”

No matter how safe it was, it was impossible to hide under the eyes of others for more than 300 days without being discovered…

“I think there should be something in this place that is worth a visit.” Martin guessed, “It might be the organization’s weakness.”

If the elders didn’t care about their relationship and become cruel, then Yana might also plan to kill them…

Didn’t those two people just say that what the elders cared about was that thing…

That thing might be evidence of a crime.

“Look, the front doesn’t seem to be normal.”

At this time, Paige’s eyes fell to the front, there was a mountain peak, the terrain was steep, not conducive to building a camp, so few people usually come here…

However, under the mountain, there are obviously some lights and people…

“Put me down.” Paige whispered in Martin’s ear.

Martin squatted down, waited for her to get down, took the binoculars from her bag, and looked ahead.

There were indeed people gathered under the mountain, not many, only a dozen people, as if they were guarding the mountain?

Did this mountain have any unknown secrets?

Paige also took out the binoculars from her bag, and looked at the foot of the mountain. These people were walking back and forth near the foot of the mountain, seeming to be patrolling and guarding the mountain. Was there any secret hidden in this mountain?

“It’s weird.” Paige wanted to see more clearly, but due to the terrain, the line of sight was still blocked.

She looked up and saw a big tree beside her, and said to the man beside her in a gentle voice, “You wait for me here.”

She climbed up the tree in two or three steps, quickly sat on the thick trunk, took out the binoculars, and then observed the movement over there.

Martin smiled lightly, and followed her up the tree, “If I don’t have any special skills, I really don’t deserve you.”

Paige didn’t expect him to come up, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and then looked at the foot of the mountain, “Look, someone came out of it.”

There seemed to be an exit from that mountain, and the man came out from it. Everyone seemed to respect him, nodding and bowing.

“Tell me, what do they use to get in and out?” Paige guessed, “Fingerprint? Or something like swiping a card?”

“Is it possible that it is the little silver key left by Yana?”
