Chapter 1607 Dalton Yarwood
Wynter's current condition wasn't too bad, but it wouldn't stay that way for too long since Edward had entered the
room.
The unconscious girls were all required to go through medical checkups.
As soon as Wynter was carried in, the familiar scent of antiseptics reached her nose. She opened her eyes slightly. Though her visions were blurry, her familiarity with medical equipment allowed her to accurately predict what she would face soon.
"Dr. Masons, should we draw blood or do a full-body scan first?" the person carrying Wynter in asked.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Edward, dressed in a lab coat, glanced at her. "Check all the major organs first. Make sure there's no underlying disease."
"A student this age doesn't need all that, right?"
Edward smirked coldly. "How certain are you that she has never had an abortion? You never know with high schoolers these days"
"She's a high-value 'good.' Here are her documents. She should be clean."
Edward ignored the documents. The responsibility would be on him if anything happened to the "goods". He had promised that he would check them meticulously.
"The drugs in their system will dilute soon. Get them ready. We'll start with the first two who were brought in," Edward instructed.
Wynter could hear the voices close by. She purposely adjusted her breathing when Edward took out the stethoscope.
They were clearly interested in her physical condition. More than that, they seemed especially concerned about her purity.
Since being brought in, Wynter had been calculating the time carefully.
The good news was that her captors needed them alive. At least, that was what their wealthy backers preferred. Hence, for now, none of the girls were in immediate danger.
The bad news was that she didn't have much time left. She had to find a way to turn the situation around!
The one having the hardest time was Leo. Asking a spirit to approach an Ancient Beast was like offering itself to a tiger and hoping not to be eaten.
But Leo didn't have the luxury to hesitate. He initially thought about finding someone who wasn't as terrified of Wolf to deliver the message, but there was no one else around!
With no other choice, he braced himself, closed his eyes, and headed straight toward the source of Wolf's energy. Others couldn't sense it, but after being by Wynter's side for so long, he knew how to locate Wolf-it only required a bit of courage to risk his life.
Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, Wolf, who'd been focused on tracking an address, stopped typing and turned his head. He extracted his sharp fangs, his usually round eyes narrowed to slits.
No one else noticed, but Dalton, who seemed to be doing nothing, directed his gaze toward them. Just as Wolf raised a claw to strike, Dalton caught his wrist before casually saying, "Do you not recognize him?"
Wolf's small face was filled with confusion. Leo wasn't exactly thrilled to see Dalton. However, the combined imposing presence was so intense that he reverted to his original form.
"My master... s-she is in danger! I'm here to ask for backup." Leo continued to stammer, "The place she's in is ominous. There's something unground draining the area's fortune. The place is also filled with surveillance cameras, so it's nearly impossible to get in."
In reality, breaking in wouldn't be difficult if they used brute force, but gathering evidence and preserving clues was the real challenge. That was why Wynter had sent Leo to notify Wolf.
Wolf's eyes darkened when he heard that Wynter was in danger. Faint traces of black mist started to emerge from him.
But just then, Dalton lightly tapped his head. The force didn't seem to affect Wolf much, but cracks formed on the floor beneath him.
Wolf roared as he lifted his head. The sound he made nearly caused Leo to faint!
