A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 413

Her eyes snapped open as she started fumbling for her phone. The caller ID revealed it to be a call

from Henry.

Why’s he calling me at this hour?

Afraid that she might wake Trisha up, Arielle headed to the bathroom to pick up the call.

“Henry, why’re you…”

“Boss! Save me!” Henry’s panicked voice crackled through the speaker.

His desperate plea was very quickly followed by the sound of fighting

Arielle’s expression turned grim. “Where are you?” she asked firmly.

“At the supper stand behind school!”

“I’ll be right there!” She hung up the phone and bolted straight to the door.

Right then, she heard ruffling noises coming from her roommate. Trisha had sat up and was looking at

her. “Arielle, where are you going this late at night?”

“I’m heading to the food stand behind the school! My

friend’s in trouble.”

“The dormitory should be locked by now. I’ll come down with you. The lady warden’s my relative, so I

can get her to open the gates for you.”

“All right. Sorry for the trouble.” Arielle nodded.

“No worries. I’m glad I could repay you for your help.” While saying this, Trisha got out of bed swiftly.

With Trisha’s help, Arielle managed to get out of the dorm past the restricted hours smoothly.

Though the former volunteered to accompany her, Arielle flat-out refused for fear of her safety. “It’s not

a big deal, Trish. Go back to sleep. Oh yeah, help me apply for leave if I’m not back by tomorrow

morning.”

Afraid that her presence would pose a hindrance, Trisha did not insist any further. “All right. Come back

safe.”

At the supper stand, a group of masked men was chasing after a pair of boys.

The food place was a complete wreck, with broken alcohol bottles and overturned tables scattered

everywhere. Amidst the commotion, all the customers had fled the scene except for the store owner,

who was hiding in one corner.

Just as he was about to dial for the police, one of the masked men smashed his phone against the

floor. “We’ll pay you for your losses! But, if you dare call the police…” The man left his threat hanging,

leaving the poor store owner to his imagination.

And that did the trick as the latter cowered in fear. “I-I

won’t call the police!” he promised.

The masked man released an unfeeling laugh before continuing his chase with two of his companions.

Inside the store, Henry had just ended his call with Arielle when he noticed a beer bottle flying fast

toward him. With no time to react, he braced himself for the impact, only to see someone had deflected

its course in mid-air with a kick.

The sound of glass breaking filled the room.

“Henry, what the hell are you doing?” Jared glared at him.

Only an idiot would use a phone in the middle of a fight!

“Since you didn’t want me getting help from your family or mine, I called Boss! We at least need more

backup, don’t we?”

Jared’s stare almost bore a hole right through him. “Help? Do you really think Boss will make a

difference here? You idiot! No matter how great her hacking skills are, she’s still a girl. You better pray

she doesn’t come!” He felt that her presence would only give them one more liability.

Besides, the duo had already defeated half of their dozen over captors. With only a few of them left, it

was nothing they could not handle.

Jared was reluctant to call the Jupiters as he did not want them to think he was physically weak, lest

they

forced him to study again.

Meanwhile, his words had struck a chord within Henry. It was then the latter realized how stupid he

was, calling a girl into a fistfight.

Just as he was about to call Arielle not to come, the remaining captors walked into the store.
