Chapter 116 Sudden Change
Proxy Connection Failed!
After going through all of this material, I decided that it was better if we kept an eye on the husband just in case he decided to do anything drastic.
Of course, it wasn’t as if we could just take care of him without him doing anything since that would be a crime.
So I chose to adopt a wait and see attitude with this man.
A few more days passed and a week had passed since I had first gone to see Haley.
In the morning, she had sent someone to find me at my inn to tell me that all the goods were prepared. All they were waiting for was me to head back to the town with.
Since they were prepared, I didn’t waste any time heading off to the store.
The sooner that these goods could reach the town, the better off my people would be. Even if I had become a baron from marrying Baroness Rose, I still cared about the people because they had come to become my family.
The time that I had spent in that town hadn’t been for nothing.
When I arrived at the store, I found that there were carriages loaded up that were waiting outside.
There was no need to guess to tell that these were the ones for us.
So I headed over and called out to the people that were still loading up the carriages.
One of them turned and I immediately recognized this person.
This was the same clerk that had helped me both times that I had come to the store. I didn’t know his name back then, but I had learned after that his name was Kevin.
Kevin also greeted me when he saw me and he came over to help us while the rest of them kept loading up the carriage.
I asked him, “How long will it take for us to head over to the town?”
Kevin thought about it before responding, “It should be three to four days.”
I gave an understanding nod when I heard this.
It took us only two days to come here, but that was because we had been traveling light.
For a large caravan like this to only take three or four days, it was clear that they were already pushing it.
That was something I was grateful for since I knew that they were rushing on my behalf. I had told Haley how urgently my town needed this, so she had given them the order to go as quickly as possible.
I really had to thank her for this.
But when I looked around, I saw that I couldn’t find her at all.
It was as if she had completely disappeared.
However, that was strange since she was supposed to come to our town with me.
This wasn’t in the plan at first, but after her father showed up, it was decided that she would come to our town. At least she would be able to hide out for a bit if she came to our town and waited until her father left.
Her father showing up had been a surprise, but she knew that it was impossible for him to stay here forever.
He was the chairman of a large company, one that did business all over the kingdom. He was an even busier person than Haley who ran just the third largest company in the city.
So there was no way that he would be able to stay in this place for long.
She had done all that she could to avoid him so that she would be able to avoid a conflict.
Even now, personally making this delivery was partly because of this. The other part was because of what I had done for her before, so she wanted to make sure that the delivery reached the destination without a problem.𝞰𝒐𝐯𝔢𝑳𝒏𝑬xt.𝒸𝐎𝚖
But the fact that she wasn’t here was concerning.
So I asked Kevin, “Do you know where your boss went?”
“The boss?” Kevin looked around with a confused look before saying, “She said that she wanted to take care of some business and she would be right back, but it seems like she’s not back yet.”
When I heard this, I couldn’t help knitting my brows as a bad premonition filled my heart.
I quickly turned to Shaka and said, “We need to find her.”
He just gave a nod in response before giving a whistle with his fingers.
This was the secret signal that he sent to his men that would send them into action.
I had asked about this before and he told me that different tones meant different things, but I wasn’t able to hear a thing. Still, since they were using it, it should mean that they could tell the difference and that was enough for me.
As for me, I started running in the direction that Kevin said that Haley had gone in.
But as I moved in that direction, I couldn’t find a single thing.
I couldn’t help feeling more and more anxious as I ran along.
If something did happen to her, it would be too late to save her and I would fail the side quest.
Of course, the more important thing was that Haley would be in danger.
So I wanted to find her as soon as possible.
I didn’t find a single thing until I turned the corner and there was a carriage that caught my attention.
I went over to it and I went around it, I saw that there were several men who were carrying something into the carriage. When I looked more closely, I found that it was a woman’s figure.
Not to mention, it was a woman’s figure that I recognized.
It was Haley and she was being kidnapped.
I looked to Jessica who immediately pulled out her sword, but before she could reach them, the men had already put her into the carriage and they drove off.
With how fast the horse was, we weren’t able to even touch the back of this carriage.
