Chapter 260 Finally Met Someone
"Since I'm going to marry Yosef, naturally, I need to understand these businesses. Don't you think so?"
Emily's presence was commanding. As soon as she spoke, these subordinates felt impressed.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right. But right now they're still training the new ones inside. Why don't you wait a moment? I'll go tell the people inside to quiet down!"
As the man said this, his eyes darted around quickly.
Clearly, he was testing whether Emily had the guts.
But Emily smiled and said, "Sure, I just don't like the sound of women screaming - it's piercing. Go ahead, tell them to stop, then come out and let me know, and I'll go in!"
Emily went along with what he said directly.
This immediately drew his scrutiny.
But Emily had a strong presence and spoke with a kind of composure that actually intimidated him for a moment.
It seemed like Emily really just didn't like the noise.
So, of the two guards at the door, one stayed to keep Emily company while the other went in to make arrangements.
Emily took this opportunity to deal with the person at the door.
Then she ordered the person she had hypnotized to drag the body away and hide it first.
Meanwhile, Emily continued waiting at the entrance.
One hand hung at her side, secretly gripping the dagger in her hand.
But her eyes stared intently at the entrance.
Soon, the person who went in came back out, accompanied by a man who must have been torturing women inside.
A cold light flashed through Emily's eyes.
The man was still wondering why Emily was alone now.
Emily smiled calmly and said, "I had something I needed him to help with, so he left temporarily."
Since that person had left without monitoring Emily, in his view, Emily's identity as Yosef's woman was even more confirmed, and he became even more respectful toward Emily.
"Then should I have this person lead you in now?"
"Sure, you guard the door well!"
Emily replied with a smile.
Then she followed the man who had just been torturing people inside.
The smell on the man - Emily immediately knew what he had been doing inside. She felt her stomach churning violently.
This kind of person had just taken drugs and wasn't as respectful to Emily as the guard outside. She could even tell from his eyes that he was probably still thinking about sex.
Emily moved closer to him.
He actually thought Emily was attracted to his strong build and was trying to seduce him.
So he let Emily approach without any suspicion.
Until!
Emily stuck a silver needle in a certain spot on his back.
His waist went soft, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.
Since they had to pass through a corridor to get inside, no one else noticed.
Emily quickly made him fall unconscious. She kicked him to the edge of a corner where he wouldn't be easily seen.
Only then did she continue forward.
Inside, there was only one person.
He was holding a whip, though he wasn't hitting anyone at the moment. But the woman lying on the ground was in tattered clothes, her back covered in whip marks - clearly she had just been abused.
Beside her were several cruel instruments.
Emily's eyes grew even colder at the sight.
She suppressed her anger and approached the man holding the whip.
"You must be Mr. Stevens' girlfriend, right? Didn't they say someone would bring you in? Where is he?"
The other person looked Emily up and down and asked.
The woman who had been beaten and was lying on the ground barely alive heard the man's words and looked up at Emily.
Seeing it was a woman, surprise and confusion showed in her eyes.
Her thoughts probably went in circles, then turned to resentment.
She had already decided Emily was in league with them.
As a fellow woman, Emily was working with these men to torture them - that's why her reaction was so strong.
"You'll die a horrible death!" She actually used up her strength to curse viciously at Emily.
Right after the woman cursed, the man beside her cracked his whip, cursing unconsciously, "Looking for death, are you? How dare you curse Mr. Stevens' woman!"
But the next moment, his whip didn't land on the woman's body - Emily caught it firmly.
Emily then yanked it hard, "This is merchandise to make money with. If you damage it, will you pay for it?"
The man hadn't expected Emily to react so quickly, catching the whip with such strength. When she yanked it away, he even stumbled.
But only a woman like this could be Yosef's woman. She really was different from those weak women. No wonder Brother Zhi thought highly of her.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right. But don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The injuries she has are just surface wounds, won't actually kill her!"
"That's more like it. But try to be more subtle, use other methods that don't leave marks - at least that way she'll be worth more money!"
Emily wasn't unaware of the look in the eyes of the woman lying on the ground, but she appeared calm on the surface.
"Just this one woman? Where are the others being held? Are there any better ones? I should look at this batch of goods too!"
"If you want to see, there are naturally more new goods. This way, please, there are quite a few more locked up inside!"
As he spoke, he made an inviting gesture.
Emily followed, looking around while casually asking, "Are there still guards inside?"
"Well, there's a new assignment... anyway, those people are all locked up, and there are guards at the door. Don't worry, they won't escape."
Emily had been worried that there were still people inside who would make things more troublesome to deal with.
Now she was not only relieved that there was no one inside, but also got even more useful information.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After going inside, Emily knocked him out as soon as the other person used a pupil scan and opened the door.
The women who had been hiding in fear saw the man appear again and became even more frightened, curling up into balls, their eyes looking at the man in terror, their whole bodies trembling.
They didn't even dare look at Emily.
It wasn't until the door opened and Emily suddenly knocked the man out that those people looked at Emily in disbelief.
Finally, someone gathered the courage to speak, "You, you're not with them. Are you here to rescue us? Are you with law enforcement? Did you come specifically to save us?"
The other women also looked at Emily with hopeful eyes.
Emily couldn't bear to shatter their fantasy.
She nodded, "I'm here to save people, but I can't do it alone. You also need to learn to save yourselves. Now, I've opened the door for you. You have two choices. One is to risk being discovered, and I'll lead you up the mountain by another route."
Emily paused here.
She continued, "The other choice is you stay here, but you need to learn to save yourselves. If someone comes in to take you away, you need to catch them off guard and knock them out. Don't say you can't do it - one person might not be able to, but there are so many of you!"
The person who had spoken first hesitated.
She exchanged glances with the others, seeming to discuss in low voices.
