Chapter 177 They know their village and its surroundings like the back of their hand , Odalys replied , her tone sharp .
You go running after them , spot someone , and grab them , but if they deny it , what will you say ? Stellan fell silent , his mind timing over her words Yeah , even if we see someone , it doesnt prove that they were the one who attacked Freya earlier , Selah added , voicing the doubt that had settled over all of them Odalys didnt respond .
Instead , she picked up some medicine and began treating Freyas wounds , Stellan and Selah stood by , concern evident in their eyes .
Did you touch him Odalys suddenly asked , her voice cool and probing .
Her question came out of nowhere , and both Stellan and Selah looked at each other in confusion , unsure of what she meant .
Freya , however , broke into a playful grin and winked at Odalys .
She lifted the hand that had been marked with Odalyss blood written talisman .
T pushed him with this hand , she said , her voice light .
Good , thats all you need to do .
Odalys replied , smiling and lightly tapping Freyas forehead .
Werent you scared earlier ? Whats there to be scared of ? Youre here , right ! You wouldnt let anything happen to me , Freya responded with a confident smile , the trust she had in Odalys evident in her words .
Stellan and Selah exchanged glances , realization dawning on them slot So you knew someone was in the room , Selah said , her voice tinged with surprise .
It was as if shed missed an important detail that was now unfolding in front of her eyes .
And you were aware of it the whole time ? Stellan added , his tone more of an accusation than a question .
He had figured it out just as quickly- Odalys had been one step ahead of everyone else .
From the moment we came back , I sensed something was off , Odalys explained coolly .
I heard faint breathing sounds coming from the room .
and Freya had a bloodshed warning tied to her , which meant whoever was there was targeting her Thats why I marked her hand with the talisman .
As soon as they tried to hurt her , the magic would trigger .
They wouldnt even know what hit Dont worry she continued with a sneer , We dont need to chase them .
Theyll come to us on their own , begging for me to save them .
Her confidence was chilling , and the rest of the group remained silent , processing what had just been revealed .
In the meantime , online were starting to panic as well .
e viewers ( What did I nia ! I just went to the bathroom and came back , and everythings gone crazy ! ] Was there a live feed inside the room ? Who was in there ! Is it really targe targeting Freya ? Please protect her ! ] The shift in the atmosphere was undeniable .
What had seemed like a casual , lighthearted meal had turned into something much darker .
The tetakon was palpalde , and no one knew exactly what to expect next .

1/2 6:42 PM ₫ Chapter 177 However , there was a gleam of satisfaction in her eyes that didnt go unnoticed .
Odalys s gaze sharpened her eyes narrowing in suspicion .
Sophias sudden shift in behavior only made her more suspicious .
Sophia , clearly uncomfortable under Odalyss piercing stare , stammered .
Ill just go wash the dishes .
She turned and left in a hurry , Atlas trailing behind her .
But Francis and Finnian stayed behind , both exchanging a look of suier understanding what Sophia just said : Francis remarked , his voice low but clear Theres something off with wi He didnt have the rose colored glasses when it came to Sophia .
He had always been a step outside the groups dynamics and had observed more than the others , You know shes p part of your group , right ? Odalys asked , her voice hardening .
If shes going around making comments like that , itll look like were causing trouble , stirring up drama for the audience .
Finnian his expression solemn , met Odalyss gaze .
I know Sophia is manipulative .
Im just telling you .
Ive had my own run in with her .
A few days ago , I drank some water she gave me , and I ended up getting sick .
He paused , shaking his head .
Be careful with her .
Ill be leaving now , but you need to watch your back Finnian gave a quick nod before walking away .
But Francis lingered , clearly weighing the situation in his mind Is there anything I can do to help ? I mean , I true desire to assist .
Im a man , so maybe I can help distract or keep watch , he offered , more out of a sense of duty than a Odalys gave him a long , assessing look before esturing for him to come closer .
Franen stepped forward , intrigued but not sure what to expect .
After a brief conversation , his expression shifted to one of surprise .
Without wasting another moment , Francis left , leaving the others feeling more uncertain than ever .
Freya , trying to lighten the mood , jumped up from the bed and declared , Lets play cards ! We never finished the last round .
She made a move toward the table , but Odalys stopped her .
Not today Odalys said , her voice darkening .
Just as her words hung in the air , a loud rumble of thunder sounded from outside .
The sky had darkened quickly , clouds rolling in as if an impending form was about to break Tiit going to rain ? Selah asked , peering out of the window .
It was just sunny a moment ago She moved to the window to take a closer look , but the moment she dad , she froze .
Come look at this the called , her voice tear .
The others rushed over to the window , where they saw what Selah had noticed bloodstains on the side of the window .
Mellan stepped forward , his expression grim .
So , the person who was hiding in your room got injured ! Freya paused , looking at the blood , her mind working through the possibilities .
Wait , maybe it was the talisman , she murmured .
Maybe it turned itato a weapon and actually injured them when they tried to attack nie .
Before anyone could respond , the door burst open , and in walked Rafael Nielsen .
His face was ashen , his eyes bloodshot with anger and fear .
He stopped in the middle of the room , las gaze backing onto Odalys with an unsettling intrinity .
What are you ? Kalaels v voice was thick with fury Selah couldt help but real slightly .
The memory of his actions the way he had tried to forcibly drag Soplita into a room and the disturbing late night incident with her clothing- Bowled back to her .
The disgust was undeniable .
