Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 481

Lauren was speechless. It never crossed her mind that Menkel would be there, or that he would come up with such an idea.

"He's right! D*mmit, that kid has probably moved Miss Candy to somewhere outside the city and is waiting for us there. We should go over to his house and kidnap his wife. Let's see how he'll like the taste of his own medicine," said one of the Mus Hall's elders quickly.

Menkel nodded. "Yes, he might kill off Miss Candy once we're there. It'll be impossible for us to save her then. She would have served her purpose of luring all of you to your death so there would be no need to keep her alive anymore. It would be better if we kidnap his family. That's the only way to save Miss Candy."

"Lauren, do you know where that kid lives?" asked Mick. He, too, thought it was a good plan.

Lauren smiled awkwardly. "I don't, Mick. Candy and I have only ever met him on the street at night. I blame myself for being so careless. I should have looked into his address."

Then, she checked the time before continuing, "Mick, we should make a move now. The kidnapper said he would kill Candy if we're not here by 8 p.m.; it's better to be early than late so that we can ensure Candy's survival."

Mick's face turned pale. "Let's go! We should head to the city gate now!"

Very soon, everyone got into their car and drove in the direction of the city gate.

Meanwhile, Severin and Candy were talking in the forest outside of the city.

"Supreme Leader, Menkel gets suspicious easily. What should we do when he and my father arrive here? How can I help you?" asked Candy after thinking it through.

Severin mulled over her questions with a frown on his face. "It's too bad I don't have a rope. It would be more believable if I tied you up with a rope."

"I got an idea!" Candy took off her outerwear and ripped it into strips. Then she tied the ends together to form a makeshift rope. "Let's use this instead. I'm pretty confident about the quality of my clothing." Severin could not help but laugh when he saw Candy was left with nothing but a thin T-shirt. "Don't mind if I do."

He smiled and then tied Candy's hands behind her back.

"That's more like it." Severin nodded satisfactorily at his handiwork.

"There's still some fabric left. You should stuff it into my mouth. That's what all the kidnappers do in the movie," said Candy.

Severin was a little speechless. 'Man, this girl is a drama queen, alright. Can't believe she would even suggest that.'

However, he did exactly as she suggested all for the sake of making the whole kidnapping look more believable.

As soon as he stuffed the fabric into Candy's mouth, they saw a procession of cars coming out of the city center and speeding toward their location.

"Hehe, they're coming!" said Severin as he stood behind Candy. "Sorry for putting you through this."

Candy's heart nearly burst with happiness when he said that. 'He's quite a reasonable guy. I'm so lucky he gave me the chance to act out a kidnapping scene.'
