Chapter 343: Prison Escape (Il)
Chapter 343: Prison Escape (Il)
The night deepened even further, and the chilly air started to bite against their skin. Inez had no idea how long
the two of them had run; they ran until their calves started to burn and their throats started to choke due to the
lack of water in their systems. She didn’t even sweat this hard when she was training as an enforcer; though she
never succeeded in becoming one, she did pass the tests with flying colours.
The two of them burst into the clearing of the forest that surrounded the dungeons, but just one step into the
cold and biting forest, and Inez knew that there was something wrong. The forest was too thick and too dark, and
there was a visible humming in the air. She caught Scarlet by her arm and pulled her behind a pillar just as the
surveillance camera turned in their direction.
Scarlet was breathing hard. With her fingers digging into her arm, she whispered, "They will find out that we are
missing very soon." Her voice was hoarse after running for so long. Her knuckles were white due to the force
with which she was clenching her fingers. The restraints had brought her strength to that of a human, leaving
her with barely any stamina to run for so long. Glaring at the shackles that were tied around her wrists, she
snapped, "Fuck these bastards from the council. They didn’t even investigate whether we were behind the
murder or not. They just brought us here."
"That must be because they don’t care who the murderer is," Inez rasped. With her back pressed against the
wall, she tried to drink in as much air in her lungs as she could. Having spent her precious twith Dominic,
Inez more or less understood the mentality of these people. They didn’t care if they were killing innocents as
long as they had someone to blame. No wonder Dominic and the people in the council were so chummy. They
were two peas in a pod.
Her legs were trembling, and she didn’t even have the strength to move, but when the surveillance camera
changed direction, she still staggered up the slope to the east together with Scarlet. Her wrists were rubbed raw

something within her pushed her to move forward.
She couldn't die here. Not when she hadn't even found out about Cain. The nthat was coiled around her
heart like a curse.
"How long... how long do you think those prisoners will stay quiet?" Scarlet asked through gritted teeth, her
pants turning harsher by each second. "Someone must have seen us escape, even if most of them were
sleeping."
"Not long," Inez replied. Pushing away a branch that reached to claw her face, she marched forward. "Those
prisoners will definitely let the cat out of the bag once they see a guard; we should continue running, or else we
will be caught."

"lI am Garfield Jones," the man introduced himself, with a bowler hat on top of his head. He looked around the
office that belonged to the head guard. "The person in charge of investigating the case of Alpha Remy’s mate. |
need to speak to the two women who killed her."
Gilderoy shook hands with the man. "Welcome, Mister Jones. | am the head guard, Gilderoy Giddins."
"Leadto the cell of the offenders," commanded Mister Jones after he was done shaking hands with the guard.
"I need to question the two of them and hand over my report in the morning." Of course, this was more or less
just a little formality that he was going to do, as for whether the two women were really the killers or not, it had
little to do with Mister Jones; as long as he could torment them into confessing, who cared what happened to
them?
"Sure." Gilderoy bobbed his head and then turned on his feet and led the man to the cell where the two women
were locked up, but upon arriving, he realised that there was something wrong. He frowned and peered inside
the cell; because of the darkness, he could only see a shiny pair of shoes and nothing else. Suddenly, Gilderoy
felt a sense of foreboding, and he pushed open the door of the cell. His heart fell deep in the pit of his stomach
when he saw that the door was already open.
He stepped inside the prison and sucked in a mouthful of cold air when he realised that the one lying inside was
his own man.
He turned around and headed out of the cell, his gaze falling on the other prisoners sinisterly. "Where are the
women?"
"They already escaped," a man hoarsely replied, his lips curled up in a mocking sneer. "They beat up your guard
and escaped right from under your nose."
Gilderoy clenched his jaw in
frustration as anger started to bubble

"Yes!" The guards who followed him lowered their heads and responded solemnly before turning on their feet
and running out of the corridor.
