Felicia dragged Shawn out of the pit while speaking.
Earlier when Shawn had fallen into the pit, he had tried to crawl out, but Felicia kicked him back down repeatedly. Now that she was trying to pull him out, he gripped onto the dirt with all his strength, unwilling toe out. "Ah! What are you doing? What do you want?"
It wasn''t surprising that Shawn was terrified. This ce was perfect for killing someone.
The mountains were dense with trees and thick with overgrown grass. There was a cliff of moderate height close by as well. During the rainy summer months, a waterfall would form there. Even now in winter, there was a small cascade. Felicia, while dragging him along, said, "You wouldn''t cooperate, so I''ll find Lucas myself! The whole vige is out looking for him. I''m sure he will be found!"
Shawn screamed and struggled. "Haven''t you thought that maybe I''ve already killed that kid?"
His words suggested he hadn''t had the chance to act yet.
Felicia''s eyes flickered, and she exhaled in relief. She pulled harder on him and coldly responded, "If that''s the case, it will be an eye for an eye. You''re the one who deserves to die!"
She dragged Shawn to the edge of the cliff. The sound of the waterfall was loud, and the water that blew in the wind was cool against their skin.
Shawn was absolutely terrified. He kept screaming for help till his voice was hoarse, but all he could do was watch helplessly as Felicia dragged him closer to the edge.
Finally, Shawn cried out in desperation, "I don''t know! I really don''t know! I didn''t kidnap the kid! It has nothing to do with me!"
Lucas'' disappearance was real, but if it wasn''t Shawn who kidnapped him, who else could it be?
Shawn wailed, "Maybe it was Ka! She came up with the idea, and she''s the one who hid Lucas. It really isn''t me!"
Felicia paused. She had indeed overlooked Ka. This afternoon, when they went to Hillfort to deliver supplies, Ka hadn''t shown up to pester Arnold as usual. Instead she imed to have injured her foot and needed to rest.

However, Ka had always preferred to have others do the dirty work for her. Would she ever get her hands dirty herself?
In that moment of distraction, Shawn seized the opportunity. He lunged at Felicia, charging toward her with all his fury.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
"I''m going to kill you!"
Before he could finish, he was struck. Felicia, who had been prepared,nded a powerful kick to his stomach. With a loud thud, Shawn crumpled to the ground andy there like a corpse. In the face of sheer power, even the most cunning ns were futile.
Felicia sighed.
She pulled Shawn up by his hair, forcing him to look at her. She sneered and said, "I''ve already given you a chance. You really deserve to die."
Realizing that Felicia truly intended to kill him, Shawn shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help! Felicia is trying to kill me!"
Perhaps Shawn had forgotten that
all his efforts to set this trap, leading the vigers elsewhere and bringing Felicia to this secluded mountain, meant that no one would hear his cries for help.
Felicia remembered a line viins often said in movies. "Shout all you want. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one wille to save you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the light had dimmed.
A chill ran through her, and she immediately looked ahead. There stood a tall figure in the shadows. He was barely visible in the shifting light. That man wore a faint smile, and Felicia wondered how long he had been standing there, watching.
