Chapter 1682
Raeleigh cast a quick glance at her surroundings. "Where are we going?"
"One side of Capital City actually borders Esterlia. So, we're heading there now."
Raeleigh followed behind Flynt and asked.
Raeleigh was wearing a black outfit paired with some hiking boots.
Raeleigh observed the terrain while walking and then asked, "Are we going to get into any troubles for illegal border crossing?"
Flynt laughed, "Of course! I mean anyone who crosses the border illegally will get arrested but if no one finds out about it, then there shouldn't be a problem."
Raeleigh watched her step as she walked. She wondered whether was it really necessary for them to go there?
After hiking for several hours, Raeleigh felt that she could no longer continue and sat down. Flynt walked up to Raeleigh and said, "Come on, I'll give you a piggyback."
"It's alright, I can still walk."
Raeleigh stood up and continued walking. Flynt watched as Raeleigh got to her feet and continued walking before following her.
There was one thing Raeleigh did not quite understand, so she asked, "Are you afraid of Jepherson?"
"Yes, I'm a little afraid of him. He's a really intimidating person, of course I'm afraid. He took you away last time and I'm afraid that he will do it again, so I have to bring you to somewhere safe."
"Alright then, let's go."
Raeleigh walked in front. It look them nearly an entire day to get to the border.
After a while, Raeleigh decided to take another break. By that time, the sky was already dark. Flynt handed Raeleigh some water and food, before sitting down and having their dinner together. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After finishing their dinner, they continued on with their journey towards the border, "Are you sure this is fine? We're going to be in big trouble if we get caught. There's a possibility of us dying here and there's also another possibility of us causing conflicts between the two countries."
"If I can bring you here, that means we will not get into any trouble. Don't worry, we're going to be fine." Flynt said as they crossed the border. Raeleigh was still a little worried. When they successfully crossed the borders without getting into any trouble, she then eyed Flynt suspiciously.
"Wow, nothing happened!"
Flynt smiled proudly, "Of course! I've already made a deal with them and even paid them. I'm allowed to come and go as I want just as long as I notify them beforehand. In short, I'm able to enter the country whenever I feel like it. Besides, I brought my passport with me and I'm also a citizen of this country, it's just that none of my people know it."
"Where are your people? Why is it only just the two of us?"
"They are already here. I have a large piece of land here. I'll bring you over to have a look then you'll know."
Raeleigh did not understand what Flynt meant, but she could feel that Flynt came prepared this time. She also felt as if something was going to happen.
After crossing the border, they continued walking to a nearby town. When they arrived there, Raeleigh saw a large number of people there including those men that were usually by Flynt's side. Raeleigh wondered how they got here so quickly? She clearly remembered seeing them in the countryside before she and Flynt departed.
She wondered how they arrived here before she and Flynt did?
Raeleigh gave Flynt a strange look and he saw through her mind. He said to Raeleigh, "It is quite simple actually. They took a plane while we hiked." "The Moore family made plans earlier. They decided to make a hidden entrance as a backup plan, but I somehow found it useful for what I'm doing."
"When I first came here and I stumbled upon this place, I didn't know anything about it, but later I learned from the locals here that anyone from the Moore family was allowed to come and go as they pleased."
"I can't tell you too much about it, but trust me, it's definitely safe for us to stay here."
Raeleigh cast a quick glance at her surroundings and noticed that there were some beautiful flowers around. Most of them were red while some were white. She could smell a strange scent as soon as she approached them.
Raeleigh could not put a finger to what the smell was. It definitely did not smell like normal flowers and she felt dizzy all of a sudden.
"What kind of flower are these?"
"They are poppies."
Raeleigh froze for a while then turned around to look at Flynt. After a long time, Raeleigh asked,
"Are you a drug dealer?" "I'm working with a government organisation. I'm helping to produce this for a pharmaceutical company."
Raeleigh knew very well whether Flynt was telling the truth or not and did not ask more. She just raised her hand to cover her nose.
Flynt told her that it was normal for poppies to smell like that and that she did not need to cover her nose.
Raeleigh took her hand down and told Flynt, "I am feeling a little dizzy. Isn't this the effect of the drug?"
"This is your first time smelling it, that's why. After a while, you'll get use to it."
Raeleigh said nothing and followed Flynt.
Soon, they arrived in front of a room. There was a man standing at the door. When he saw them, he nodded and left.
Raeleigh looked over at Flynt and asked, "Who's that guy?"
"He works here. This place doesn't require much manpower unless it's harvesting season, then I will only hire the locals here."
Flynt explained as they entered the room. Raeleigh followed him. The room was not very spacious.
All it had was a desk, a chair and a bed.
Flynt entered the room, took off his coat and asked Raeleigh to sit down.
"This is the room that I normally use to rest whenever I come here. You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor tonight."
Then, Raeleigh immediately said, "It's too cold for you to sleep on the ground. You can use it. I'll just sleep on the chair."
"Will Jepherson allow you to sleep on the chair?"
Flynt asked her, which amused Raeleigh. She wondered why do every man have to compare themselves with each other?
Raeleigh shook her head. "No, but he did force me to do something that I didn't want to do."
"What did he force you...?"
Raeleigh immediately cut him off and said, "Nothing."
Flynt stood for a while and said, "Don't worry, I will never force you to do anything you do not want to do."
"Oh really? That's what Jepherson said as well."
Raeleigh turned around and looked at Flynt. He could see helplessness in her eyes. She regarded him as the same person as Jepherson.
Flynt's heart trembled a little. "Don't worry, I promise to keep my word. We have the future ahead of us. As long as Jepherson doesn't come between us, then I'm sure we'll grow old and grey together."
"You sleep on the bed, while I sleep on the chair. Isn't that alright? If you're worried, then I'll ask someone to bring in an extra bed for you."
"I think it's better if we get another bed in."
Raeleigh said, looking at the bed and forcing a smile.
Flynt also smiled and looked out the window. "I think we should get some rest before the sun rises."
Raeleigh nodded and went to bed.
Flynt ordered someone to bring in an extra bed.
After making the bed, he soon fell asleep on it.
