suspicious

"Hehehe, finally we can get to enjoy them again" one of the four figures chuckled, the cold wind of the night made his words travel further than supposed.

...

Step step step!

Right at this moment, sounds of approaching footsteps sounded from outside the building that they were in. One could tell by the sound that it was one person who was coming towards them but that did not make them disregard the fact that someone was coming over.

"Shit! Someone's coming!"

One of the four men exclaimed in a hushed voice and the others immediately reacted.

A while later Lia appeared inside the room, a dark look on her face as she glared at the four men with piercing looks.

She had just entered the place and saw the four men standing together on the side while the two women who were supposed to be on watch with them sat on the cold floor with unhidden malice in their eyes as they stared at the four men who were flashing flustered smiles at Lia.

Already suspecting that something was wrong, Lia placed one hand on the handle of her sword as she approached the six of them. She inspected the two women and they did not look like they had been touched by these four, but their despised glares told Lia that it might have been the case if she didn't come.

"You four, I heard what you were saying. I would like to know what you were finally going to enjoy" Lia turned to look at the four men, her voice cold as ice and her gaze frightening as the four men flinched from fear.

Is she really a woman?

For a while, none of them were able to speak.

Lia kept glaring at them, waiting for an answer. One thing she had already realized was that no matter how heavy the atmosphere was between these people, the woman always seemed unwilling to speak up so Lia did not bother asking these two what was going on.

"Did you suddenly lose your tongue or do you want me to make you speak?" Lia voiced out again, she slightly pulled out her sword from its scabbard (who knew she always had a scabbard?)

The four men were really spooked this time and they all shifted further away from her.

"Alright, alright, we'll talk!" One of the men shouted and stared at Lia with fear before taking out some chocolate bars from his pockets.

"Here they are, alright? We stole some snacks from the supply and wanted to eat them here. We…we took theirs from them too, we are sorry!" The man said fearfully as he presented the two chocolate bars that presumably belonged to the two women who were still sitting on the floor.

Lia stared at them, speechless. Was this really about a chocolate bar? Did they take her for a kid or what? Judging from the stars of the two women, Lia believed that this was not the case.

She stared at the men for a few more seconds before taking the two chocolate bars from them and handing them over to the two women, since no one was willing to tell her what the problem was, she could not go about acting blindly; she would keep observing for now.

Lia decided to spend the night here instead of sleeping, she would keep watch with them.

With her around, Lia noticed that the expressions on the faces of the women eased up a bit while the men would frequently glare at her malicious gazes.

The night went by just like that with nothing worth mentioning happening, morning came with a wave of scorching heat.

It was worth mentioning that the weather had been very weird during the past three years, it could snow heavily in the morning and a storm would rage that very evening.

It was only six in the morning and the sun was already high in the sky, bathing the earth in bright sunlight accompanied by scorching heat.

Fablo organized his group and they soon set off after a few words with White Fang and his people, they agreed to clear the whole area first before Fablo moved his shelter over. Until then, the plan of reclaiming the military base would be put on hold. Fablo and the others would go back to their base to inform the others first before returning.

After Fablo and his group disappeared into the street, the atmosphere in White Fang's shelter suddenly changed as most of the men revealed cruel and beastly expressions as they turned to look at the women in the shelter.

"Bitchies! Just because we had some guests for one night, you all had the guts to look at us with those ugly eyes of yours?!" One of the men who had been on watch yesterday grunted as she dashed at one of the two women who had been on watch last night.

The woman revealed a startled expression that quickly changed into a hateful glare as she stared at the man who was about to pounce on her. She did not seem to fear him or what he was going to do to him; and no one seemed to care about his sudden action.

But just before the man could reach her, White Fang stopped him with just a single word. The man dared not disobey and could only step back while glaring at the woman.

"What happened last night?" White Fang asked and the man immediately narrated everything to him. Had he not been fast to come up with something, Lia would have caught them.

" Hmm, it's a good thing that you managed to salvage the situation. They are already suspicious of us so for the time being, I want all of you to learn to hold back. This could as well be a one-time chance and I don't want anyone giving us away because they lack self-control, is that understood?" White Fang said, his voice low but chilling at the same time.

" Yes sir!" Their voices echoed in response.

" Good," White Fang nodded before turning to look at the women, they all trembled slightly from his stare and shrank their necks as if someone had touched them with cold hands " As for you all, one mistake from you and I'll have you fed to the zombies" White Fang stated before walking off.

Even the men who were on White Fang's side shuddered when they heard him, a distant memory resurfaced in their minds and they shuddered once more.

...

Meanwhile, Fablo and the others had almost left the estate at this time.
