"Ed, hurry up and do something!" shouted Elmar. "We can't just sit here and wait. Quickly send help to catch up with Hunter!"
Meanwhile, Elmar himself is trying hard to contact Aland. No matter what happened, Alan also had to know. While Ed was busy calling his warriors so they would follow and help Hunter, Elmar still needed help to reach Aland.
Jonea didn't know how long she had been unconscious. Suddenly someone doused her body with cold water. The girl stuttered and immediately woke up because the cold water pierced her whole body. The pain spread even more due to the claw marks of the wolves exposed to the water.
Jonea opened her eyes. Her hands and feet were tightly bound. She is in a warehouse in a former garment factory that is no longer operating. She was surrounded by many boys and girls, most of whom she recognized as Abraham High School students.
"Have you come to your senses?" she quipped.
Jonea tried to untie the ties on her hands and feet but failed. Her wounds in several parts of her body are bleeding again. Her clothes were soaked, and she was shivering.
Paw!
Ashley punched Jonea in the face with a baseball bat.
Jonea fell to her knees but tried to stay calm. She sat up straight again. There were dozens of people there. Some of them were wearing expensive and luxurious ball gowns, while some of them looked like delinquent youths wearing punk-style clothes.
"Tell me, where is Biggest?" Jonea shouted. "Don't hurt him!"
Ashley grinned as she held the baseball bat in her left hand. "At this condition, you are still worried about other people? You really are a detestable girl."
Ashley swung the baseball bat again and smacked Jonea in the back. The girl collapsed in excruciating pain. She wasn't even given a chance to fight back.
'Even if I had to fight back, I might die right then and there from being attacked by dozens of people here.'
"What did I do to you, Ashley? Why don't you hand me over to school security if you have proof that I snuck into the foundation director's office?" challenged Jonea.
Ashley hissed. 'It seems this girl is aware that her existence is not being recorded by any CCTV cameras at school.'
"You dragged me here because you have no proof, right?" Jonea grinned. "You used this sneaky method–surrounded and attacked me to give vent to your own desires."
Wearing a red dress with high slits and heels, Ashley walked closer to Java. She stepped on Java's hand with her shoe.
"Ahh!" Jonea screamed in pain.
At that time, Ashley touched Jonea's hair. "You don't need much nonsense. Just think of a way to survive!"
Jonea gave Ashley a sharp and angry look.
"You two!" Ashley shouted at the two warriors who were nearby. "Quickly hold this girl!"
Jonea tried to struggle, but two big young men came to hold her and forced Jonea to stand upright. Her body staggered.
Ashley lifted the metal baseball bat with great force. She grinned and tilted her head slightly.
"I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Since then, B4 has ceased its action–spreading death symbols to the targeted students! Now it's time for me to have some fun myself."
Jonea tries to escape. But the two youths continued to hold onto her firmly. She also had to prepare for the worst situation if the stick hit her vital body parts.
Ashley swung the baseball bat and hit Jonea in the stomach. The girl vomited blood and fell down unconscious.
The roar of the car echoed loudly. The old barn door was hit so that the door bounced. A mini truck barged in with flashing lights. The truck didn't even slow down on purpose.
Ashley's warriors in the warehouse ran scattered to avoid the truck.
The mini truck suddenly braked right before Ashley, who didn't move from where she stood.
The girl was still holding her baseball bat. Behind Ashley, Jonea had fallen unconscious with blood pouring from her mouth.
The mini truck's headlights shone on Ashley and Jonea's bodies. The driver immediately jumped down and ran to check on Jonea.
"What did you do to her?" Hunter shouted at Ashley.
"You ask me? Of course, she was punished. Because she is an intruder in our school." She grinned. "She snuck into the director's office. Of course, you don't want your mother to know that? So I took the initiative to give her a punishment."
No one dared to approach Hunter. They all just stood where they were and watched worriedly.
Hunter checked Jonea's condition. The girl was already unconscious, and her body was battered with wounds everywhere. Hunter clenched his fists tightly and even reddened his eyes to hold back the anger all over his body.
"Jonea! Jonea, can you hear me? Could you reply to me? wake up!"
The dance party and graduation night at Abraham's school were still lively. No one even realized that some students were absent that night due to hunting down and keeping Jonea in an old warehouse.
Aland just arrived together with Erin. The girl clung to Aland's arm. However, Aland's face looked cold and stiff. He didn't look happy at all.
Their arrival immediately became the center of attention. The news of Aland's engagement to cover up the bankruptcy of the Hamilton Group has spread widely. And their appearance at the dance night further confirms the news.
"This school is really amazing, huh? I really wanted to move here, though. But, unfortunately, you have graduated this year. Going to school here without you, Aland would be boring."
"Please don't overdo it, Erin. We're just pretending. And this is the last time I agree to the deal you gave me. You have to keep your promise to cancel our engagement."
Erin kept smiling even though, inside, she was very upset. She continued to show kindness to everyone she met. She loves being the center of attention and showing off Aland as her perfect night partner.
Hunter, several times, gently patted Jonea's cheek to wake her up. It would be dangerous if Joneaa fell asleep while her body's necessary condition could not be ascertained.
Jonea coughed and spat out a bit of blood. She groaned in pain, and her eyes were very heavy.
"Stay awake," whispered Hunter. "You can't fall asleep, or I'll give you punishment–a very hot and long kiss."
Jonea could hear everything but didn't have the energy to reply to Hunter's jokes. The girl was too focused to feel an intense pain in her stomach.
Hunter also picked up Jonea and brought her to his mini truck.
Ashley intercepts them. "You can't take her out of here. That girl should be punished."
"You dare to fight me, Ashley? Who is your support? If it's like what you say–Jonea snuck into the director's room, the school should be entitled to give punishment, not you. So, get out of the way and don't get in my way, you bastard!"
Ashley gaped in disbelief. She was so angry, but there was nothing she could do. They were all so scared of Hunter. However, Hunter is the dominating Alpha among all existing packs.
Hunter's cell phone rang. He answered a phone call from Ed, who sounded so worried.
"You found Jonea? Is she okay? Who did it?"
"The video was sent by Ashley!" Hunter glared at Ashley, who was standing, clutching a baseball bat.
"She said she caught Jonea going into the director's office. But I'm sure the CCTV cameras don't record Jonea's whereabouts. Can you find out what really happened, Ed? I'll take Jonea to the hospital."
"Okay, I'll find out the truth," Ed replied.
Ed was furious when he heard Ashley's name being mentioned as the perpetrator who kidnapped and hurt Jonea. He gripped his cell phone tightly. It was so strong that the cellphone screen cracked.
"What is it?" he asked. "What did Hunter say?"
"He said Jonea snuck into the director's office. But, if that's true, the security forces should catch her and take her prisoner, not Ashley. I don't know why Ashley is involved in this."
"Ashley?" Elmar gaped in disbelief. "I have to get back in contact with Aland. Why is he so difficult to contact in this situation?"
Elmar tries hard to contact Aland while Ed focuses on finding out about the CCTV footage at the school for the last 2 to 3 hours.
After Hunter got Jonea into the car, he would get back behind the wheel. At that time, someone hit him from behind so hard that Hunter fell down and was unconscious.
Not long after, several SUVs appeared carrying men in all-black suits. The SUVs have the Abraham company logo on them. The men moved swiftly and led Hunter away.
"We leave the girl to you!" said one of the men who had come to pick up Hunter.
Ashley nodded respectfully. She was ready to do her part to execute Jonea that night.
Aland felt bored. He looked around for his three other friends but saw none at the party. Erin went to get drinks and snacks for Aland. But Aland ignored the girl and was busy on his cell phone.
Aland forgot he had turned off his cell phone. He restarted his cell phone to find out where his friends were.
There are many incoming messages on Aland's cellphone. Dozens of messages and missed calls from Elmar.
Aland was worried and felt something was wrong. He also contacted Elmar.
"Where have you been?!" cried Elmar worriedly. "We are in a serious problem here. Someone kidnapped and captured Jonea. Hunter just went to pick up the girl, but until now, she hasn't returned, and we haven't been able to contact her."
Aland immediately stood up straight. He's frantic and confused. "What really happened? Explain the details to me."
Elmar tells his chronology briefly and clearly.
"Ed is trying to trace Hunter's whereabouts through his cell phone signal. However, we haven't been able to find it. Looks like Hunter's cell phone is not active. Aland, can you track them down with your hunting skills?"
Aland turned off his cell phone and ran out of the dance party. He ignored Erin, who was trying to chase after him. Inside Aland's mind right now was only Jonea.
"I know someone is involved in this!"
