Chapter 358: She Owed Them Her Life

Zachary simply responded with a silent smile. Just then, a well-trained team arrived on the scene. The sight of a group of about a thousand was quite impressive. Each individual was armed, divided into several teams, and stationed protectively at every corner. As if they had set a trap, several terrorists were caught in an instant.

The huge burden in Plumpy’s heart was finally lifted. “Mr. Foucault’s private forces have arrived! This is Security Team Five! Each one of them is the best of the best. We’re safe now!”

Upon hearing these words, the anxiety gripping Raylee’s heart finally began to subside. Before long, an ambulance arrived at the scene. The startled and injured individuals were promptly taken to the hospital.

Raylee watched as both Halston and Zachary were loaded into the ambulance. She had intended to go with them. However, as she glanced at the woman in black, who had been subdued by Plumpy, her curiosity got the better of her. She walked over and lifted the black mask off the woman’s face.

“Ahh!” Startled, Raylee couldn’t help but let out a scream. Because the face that met her eyes was disfigured. The skin was a mess of blood and flesh, and one could barely make out the features. It’s… Mindy!

“You? Why are you here? Are you a terrorist!” Raylee asked incredulously. Hadn’t Waverly already killed Mindy? She had been stabbed so many times that even a deity wouldn’t have been able to save her. As such, her survival was nothing short of a miracle. Could it be that the person who stole Mindy’s body had actually managed to revive her?

“Die, you b*tch! I want you dead…” While struggling, Mindy lashed out at Raylee, her voice hoarse with anger. Her contorted features, rigid joints, and tense muscles all indicated that she was far from being in a normal state.

Just as she was about to take a big bite out of Raylee, Plumpy kicked her away with a single foot, cautioning, “Mts. Somers, it seems that Mindy might have taken some drugs that have completely scrambled her senses. It’s best if you keep your distance from her.”

“A drug that stimulates the nerves?” Kayler suddenly understood. No wonder she seemed extremely abnormal.

“Exactly,” Plumpy explained. “To put it simply, they were drugs that could manipulate a person’s speech and actions. After consumption, the person would become highly submissive, akin to a puppet, doing whatever they were told. This drug is hard to come by, developed by some unscrupulous scientists, and only circulated within the black market.”

Interesting that someone drugged Mindy to kill me? Raylee frowned as she asked.

If it was indeed the case that Mindy had set her sights on her, then the terrorist attack that happened today was likely targeted at her. Raylee recalled the man she had seen in the surveillance camera footage, the one who had stolen Mindy’s body. That familiar silhouette bore a striking resemblance to Maximus.

A serious issue suddenly left her utterly perplexed. Could it be possible that Mindy’s survival and involvement in today’s terrifying attack were somehow linked to Maximus? Sensing something was amiss, Raylee quickly lifted Mindy’s clothes, revealing her lower back. A vibrant WC tattoo came into her view. As expected, Mindy had indeed joined the terrorist organization. It could have been voluntary, or after being rescued by Maximus, she was forcibly marked with the symbol of this organization.

Marimus has continued the same actions on Mindy. Was he present at the scene of the terror attack today? What is Maximus trying to do?

Raylee’s expression was incredibly serious as she thought of another issue. Would there come a day when I, too, would end up like Mindy, drugged and manipulated into becoming a puppet killer? Every time she thought of that scene, Raylee felt somewhat at a loss. Oh, well… If it ever came to that point, I would rather die than become a puppet!

Following that, Raylee and Plumpy arrived at the hospital together. She only suffered some minor external injuries, but the ones who were truly hurt were Halston and Zachary. The two individuals had gone to great lengths to save her, one taking a bullet for her, while the other endured a knife wound. She owed them all her life.

Halston had just undergone surgery to remove the bullet. At that moment, he was crying out in pain while having his wounds redressed in the ward. Upon seeing Raylee arrive, he immediately quieted down, revealing a serious demeanor and said, “It’s just a bullet; a grown man like me has nothing to fear! No need for anesthesia next time. I can do without. Ah! Doctor, be gentle…”

This scene not only made the doctors and nurses chuckle, but it put a smile on Raylee’s face as well. Halston sure is quite the jokester.
