Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 646

The black-robed man was alone, and Felicia was armed with a gun, so she didn't think capturing that person would be too difficult.

Scarlet mouthed, "Be careful!"

Felicia nodded, then began to slowly move her feet, trying to find a more strategic position for her ambush.

However, the robed figure soon exited the shelter, still looking frantic.

Felicia was about to make her move when she suddenly heard the robed figure on the phone. Apparently, he didn't notice the movement in the dark and was loudly cursing into the phone, "I can't talk properly right now! I'm about to go crazy! Pete, you'd better give me an explanation!"

When Felicia heard that name, her steps faltered, and she quietly hid in the darkness.

Pete?

So, this robed figure was related to Pete in some way?

Were they collaborators, or were they allies?

Felicia continued to listen.

The robed figure was clearly on the verge of losing control as he shouted into the phone, "It wasn't that they escaped. They were rescued! When I got back to the basement, I found the lock had been pried open and the women were gone! The ones who rescued them even left me a note! Do you know what it says? Do you?"

As he spoke, he held up the note and angrily tossed it away.

The paper fluttered in the wind, and the side with the writing landed face up. Under the dim moonlight, Felicia could see her neat and beautiful handwriting on the note.

It read, "Sorry, but we've rescued the people. I just want to say hello. Next time, we'll be taking down your headquarters."

At that moment, Felicia felt an uncomfortable sensation all over her body. She could barely resist the urge to gouge his eyes out. She was absolutely furious.

"What are you looking at?" Felicia raised her gun and asked coldly.

Instead of panicking at the sight of the gun, the robed man laughed. The laughter came from a hoarse throat, sounding rough and unpleasant with a touch of madness. It was eerie and unsettling.

Scarlet gripped her weapon tightly and warned, "I suggest you surrender. Hurry up and do it, or I'll shoot!"

The robed man didn't react to Scarlet's provocation, keeping his eyes locked on Felicia. Felicia was sure that if she pulled the hood off, those eyes would be glowing with a sinister, almost predatory gleam.

Without hesitation, Felicia fired a shot straight at the robed man's leg.
