Chapter 349 Milly’s Abduction
That was Philip’s room!
No, calling for help now would be too late. The intruders were obviously well–prepared as they moved through the blind spots of the surveillance cameras.
Moreover, if the bodyguards acted suddenly, it would only alert the intruders. If cornered, they might become desperate, and things could get worse.
Milly quickly took out her phone, adjusted the angle, and started recording. This way, if anything happened to her, her brothers could use the footage to find clues to rescue her. If she couldn’t catch the thieves herself, the video would help the police.
Looking down, she felt a rush of adrenaline. Without thinking, she opened the window and jumped out.
Upon landing perfectly, aided by muscle memory, Milly executed a forward roll to cushion the impact. She was stunned, not believing she had actually dared to jump. It felt as if she had done it countless times before.
She crouched and moved quietly, attempting to remain unseen.
Soon, she spotted two shadows near the northeast corner of the wall. They were cautious, hiding their faces and bodies well. With no lights around, Milly couldn’t make out their features but guessed they were two tall, thin men.
They seemed to understand each other with a glance. One of them bent down, while the other climbed onto his back, reaching for a rain cover hanging on the wall. A little push, and he was up; then he bent down to pull his companion up.
They worked seamlessly and moved quickly.
But.. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
They weren’t heading towards Philip’s room, but they moved towards her and Apollo’s rooms.
Milly had only been here a short while and knew few people. The original Milly was so timid that it was a relief when others didn’t bully her, so these intruders couldn’t be after her.
If they weren’t here for her, it would be Apollo!
Apollo was an experimental subject. If the world found out, they might be more interested in him.
Milly’s face paled as she thought of this. She realised her mistake. These men weren’t after Philip– they were after Apollo!
Since it was Apollo, it would be easier to handle.
She knew Apollo’s strength; dealing with these two would be like crushing ants. It was nothing for him. Her priority now was to retreat without alerting them.
She knew that no matter how talented she was, she was still just an ordinary person. Facing those highly trained individuals meant certain death. It was better to fetch reinforcements than try to play the hero.

Chapter 349 Milly’s Abduction
Just as she took a step to leave, a crisp cracking noise of a breaking branch echoed in the silent night.
Immediately, the two climbing figures were alerted. “Who’s there?!”
Milly cursed silently.
She had seen countless scenes like this on TV, where eavesdroppers always managed to step on a twig and alert the villains. She always thought the protagonists were idiots or the writers lacked common sense. How could such a clichéd thing happen?
Yet here she was, in the exact same clichéd situation!
Since she was discovered, Milly decided came out from her hiding. She stepped out boldly and looked at the two men, calmly asking. “Who are you?”
Milly scanned her surroundings with the corner of her eye, looking for anything she could use as a weapon.
Unfortunately, the place was spotless, thanks to the housekeepers, with not even a shovel in sight.
The
two men didn’t seem interested in answering her question. They exchanged glances before swiftly appearing in front of her, their fists flying towards her with brutal force, each punch aiming to cause maximum harm.
Realising the ferocity and precision of their attacks, Milly felt her heart tighten. This was bad. This was really bad. It looked like she was in serious danger.
However, as the punches came at her, she suddenly realised they seemed slower. She could see their movements clearly and dodged them instinctively, her body moving on muscle memory even before her brain could react.
Her ability to dodge seemed to frustrate the attacker. One of them exclaimed, “Monkey, get over here and help!”
The tall, thin figure behind him immediately joined the fray.
Milly knew she was in trouble. Even if she could fight and always dodge in time, her stamina would eventually give out.
She needed to end this quickly. The best way was…
“Apollo! Help! Wake up! You need to help me! Apollo!” Milly shouted with all her might towards Apollo’s window, hoping he could hear her.
She regretted the soundproof glass Jordan had installed to make sure they had better sleep. Milly wondered if he could hear her calling out to him.
She could only hope.
“Apollo! Wake up! Help me! Apollo! Apol-
Just as she was about to shout louder, a strange smell filled her nose, and a wave of dizziness hit her.
I’m doomed!
Chapter 349 Milly’s Abduction
Before passing out, she heard the two men talking.
“Phew, good thing I saved some of that knockout drug the high priest gave us. It came in handy!”
“Wait, this woman…
“What about her?”
“I think she’s the one we’re looking for!”
“Are you sure? You just figured this out after we fought her for so long?”
“I won’t make a mistake. She is beautiful, and she leaves a lasting impression. I couldn’t see clearly in the darkness before.”
Milly was speechless.
She cursed under her breath, this time she had outsmarted herself, thinking they were after Apollo, but they were actually after her.
She’d walked right into their trap!
Someone was mentioning–a high priest? Who’s got a name like that? How lame! Even more so than calling someone a monkey.
