SWNOVELS Chapter 35
Chapter 35 Hector Is Shot
The man was Blaed Herb!
She had already contacted a private investigator to look into all of Blaed’s crimes. The evidence was about to be delivered to her hands, and she was absolutely going to make him rot in jail.
But he had actually got out of detention before she could even get the judge to sentence him to prison? It seemed like he had someone powerful supporting him.
The rain continued pouring down, and thunder roared.
-Blaed gestured at them, and the dozens of men charged at them.
Hector shielded Harmonia and fought against them.
“Run, Monia!”
But Harmonia went forward to help with the fighting instead. With a side kick, she made a man who tried to ambush Hector stumble backward.
At that moment, Blaed took out a gun, aimed it at Harmonia, and gave them an evil grin.
Hector saw it. He quickly grabbed Harmonia’s hand and wrapped his arms around her to shield her.
Bang!
The bullet went through Hector’s shoulder.
“Hector!” Harmonia cried out.
She steadied Hector as he stumbled in pain.
At that moment, one man swung his stick. Hector endured the pain in

his shoulder and tried to shield Harmonia from the attack. But Harmonia caught sight of it.
She grabbed the stick, punched the man’s face, and broke his nose in the process.
She then threw the stick at Blaed.
Blaed was about to fire the gun a second time, but when he saw the stick charging at him, he dodged instead of pulling the trigger. There was no time for him to do that!
Using that chance, Harmonia dragged Hector up the mountain.
There was only one path leading from the tea booth to the bungalow, and all tourists had to take this path if they wanted to go down the mountain. The path was smooth and had a streetlight set up once every few steps.
Considering the fact that Blaed had a gun, they would just be sitting ducks if they took this path.
They could only run into the forest at this point.
Harmonia kept calling the police for help, but the signal in the mountain was horrible. Every single call failed to get through.
“After them! I’ll give whoever kills them five hundred thousand
dollars” Blaed shouted and chased after Harmonia and Hector with
eys.
ey ran until their breaths were ragged, and each step they took felt ike they were dragging their feet through mud.
The rain grew heavier. The mountain path was bumpy and covered in nud. Every step they took could make them sink or trip!
Green Hill was just too big, and the terrain was complex. In fact, two- hirds of it had yet to be developed.

If they continued on like this, before Blaed caught them, they might just end up running into a wild animal first.
Besides, Hector was injured!
“Monia, just go. Forget about me.” Hector frowned as he cradled his injured shoulder. Blood continued gushing through his fingers. “Just listen to me and go!”
Hector kept urging her to leave.
Harmonia did not answer. Instead, she found a dense grove amid the pouring rain that could serve as their temporary shelter.
She brought Hector over to sit down, then immediately tore strips of fabric from her pants to wrap up his shoulder so that she could stop the bleeding.
But the bullet had sunk deep into his shoulder, and he needed surgery. Otherwise, he might suffer from complications later on.
“You’re right.” Harmonia looked at him. “One of us has to go. You’re hurt, so I can’t take you along.”
“That’s more like it.” Hector struggled to nod, but he approved of what Harmonia said.
Harmonia shoved her phone into Hector’s hands and whispered, “The signal co s and goes. Once you get a signal, you have to call for help
ust go. Take the mountain path down.” Hector was already weak at this point. He pushed Harmonia away.
Harmonia looked away. With no reluctance whatsoever, she left in a hurry.
