Chapter 248 Jeffrey's Escape

Author: Night Eleven
Aria paid no heed to his expression. She pulled him up and said calmly, "It will hurt, so hang on tight."

Before Jeffrey could get a look at her, his dislocated arm was popped back into its socket with a loud crack.

Jeffrey furrowed his brows as cold sweat ran down his back.

Aria gave him a look. She had to credit Jeffrey for his pain tolerance. As expected of a soldier—the average person wouldn't have survived this.

Even without dehydration and starvation claiming him, the untreated wound on his shoulder would lead to a runaway fever. Even now, his temperature was dangerously high. However, his mental fortitude was strong.

Aria had provided him with a makeshift crutch, which he used to haul himself out of the basement.

When Jeffrey exited the basement, Rainie wasn't the first person he'd noticed. Instead, it was Jenny. Jenny was lying beside the basement door.

He'd planned to escape with Rainie, but on his way out of the village, he'd encountered Jenny and given her a bag

    Right then, Clyton walked over. "The test results will take a bit longer. Have some fruit while you wait." "No problem." Aria smiled. "May I have your name, please?" "I'm Clyton Farman. Just call me Mr. Farman." Clyton continued, "If all three of you make it into the company, you'll be working under me." Aria nodded enthusiastically. "It would be an honor to work under you! Please take good care of us." Clyton waved it off. "Of course. Though you two might face some challenges since you're from out of state. Most people in Portfall don't take kindly to outsiders." Aria blinked innocently. "With you looking out for us, Mr. Farman, I'm sure we'll be fine." Clyton chuckled. "Haha! You're quite something." Just then, Clyton received their medical reports. He quickly forwarded them to Huck and got up, heading for the office. After Clyton left, Celeste turned to Aria. "If all three of us get in, we'll make so much money." Aria said with a smile, "Definitely. I can't believe

    Celeste started to say something else when the conference room door suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman stepped out. "Is candidate number 12 here?" Aria glanced down at her number. "That's me." The woman waved her over. "It's your turn. Come in." "Alright." Aria stood up and said quietly, "I'll head in." Landon nodded gently. "Alright." Celeste cheered her on. "You got this!" Aria smiled back at them, then followed the woman into the conference room. Two interviewers sat inside—a man and a woman, both around 40 years old. From the moment Aria entered, their eyes locked onto her with hawk-like intensity. They each wore a Bluetooth earpiece, and a security camera in the upper right corner pointed directly at their area. "So you're Aria Carver, right?" One interviewer flipped through her résumé, frowning deeper with each page. "You graduated from a no-name state school... And you have no internship experience whatsoever. Either one of these is enough to disqualify you."

    Right as Aria finished speaking, she jabbed the stick straight at Frederick. He flew back and crashed to the ground several feet away. Aria launched herself forward and landed beside him in a heartbeat. Frederick didn't even get a chance to fight back, and Aria already had her hand around his throat. The others saw it happen and stood frozen where they were. They were too scared to move. "Let him go! Our sect leader will hunt you down if he finds out!" "He's the sect leader's favorite elder. If you hurt him, our leader will never forgive this." Frederick finally understood how terrifying she was. His voice came out broken and ragged. "Who... Who are you?" "Take a guess." Aria's grip tightened on his throat, her voice cold and sharp. "Is this all the Embercross Sect amounts to? You're pathetic." Frederick struggled desperately, trying to get away. Aria spoke slowly, her eyes flat and emotionless. "I didn't care about your sect before. But the things you've done make me sick.

    Seven men in arcane robes stood ahead in a formation, blocking the road. They stared at Aria's car without expression, each holding different arcane implements. Some carried whisks, others held copper bells, and one even had a compass among other talismans. The driver had never seen anything like this. He was shocked that these people were blocking the road in the middle of the night. He'd barely started rolling down his window to say something when he felt a sharp jolt in his neck and blacked out. After knocking him out, Aria stretched and glanced at Sam. "Get out. Time to make some trouble." Sam quickly handed over her phone. Aria shoved the car door open and hopped out, with Sam right behind her. She recognized the marks on their robes. These people were from the Embercross Sect. They'd shown up faster than she'd expected, though she wondered if this bunch could handle what was coming. Leaning back against the car, Aria drawled, "Hah, I've been waiting all this time, and

    Aria ruffled his hair. "Why are you always looking to cause trouble?" Sam pouted. "It's boring when nothing's happening." Aria laughed and said, "Just be patient. When trouble comes looking for us, we'll deal with it then. Let's go back out." Outside the study, Sawyer listened to Kyle describe his company and sensed that something was amiss. "Kyle, what's this company called?" "Stellar Group," Kyle said without hesitation. Sawyer nodded and pulled out his phone to look up the company. It did exist in Portfall, but when he saw the registration date, his brow furrowed. "Kyle, this company's only been around for a few months. Don't you think something's not right here?" Kyle laughed. "Uncle Sawyer, you're overthinking it. They pay us on time every month and organize team activities on a weekly basis. "Actually, we've got another retreat coming up. Our boss figures we've done everything there is to do in Portfall, so he's taking us abroad. Our company's covering everything."

    Meanwhile, a group of people was at Stellar Group in Portfall.A man in a suit stood before the gathered employees. "You've all been with us for quite a while now, and Mr. Maddox has decided to reward everyone's hard work. We're planning a company retreat, but since there's not much to do in Portfall, we're going abroad. "The company will cover all flights and expenses, though spots are limited. If you're interested, you may sign up with your team leader." Whispers rippled through the crowd. "Our company's amazing! Not only do we get weekends off, but the workload's light and the pay's great. I want to work for a boss like Mr. Maddox forever!" "Right? These benefits are insane. After graduation, I never dreamed of having weekends, easy work, and high pay. It's perfect!" "Mr. Stanton, count me in!" "Me too! A free trip abroad? This is incredible!" The excitement was contagious. Everyone clamored to join. The manager, Griff Stanton, sighed. "So everyone wants to go?" "Yeah
