Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 511

The Fuller couple screamed in unison, tumbling down the slope. Luckily, the dense rainforest vegetation—a mix of bushes, shrubs, and weeds—cushioned their fall.

Even then, they both landed in a pile of wet, rotting leaves on the damp, four-smelling forest floor. Dazed and disoriented, they lay there for what felt like forever, too stunned to move.

Just then, a tall shadow loomed over them, blocking out the light. Someone stood above them, looking down.

"Someone's here! We're saved!" Dexter thought as his face lit up with hope.

Summoning his strength, he pushed himself to sit up straight and eagerly addressed the stranger, "Did you come to rescue us? That's amazing! Please give us some food and water, then help us get out of here!"

The man before them stood with his hands in his pockets, moving about casually as if he were on a Sunday stroll. His brown eyes sparkled with mischief, and a small red mole at the corner of his eye added a devilish charm to his appearance.

As Dexter waited expectantly, the man's lips curled into a lazy smirk. With a drawl that carried a hint of mockery, he said, "Where did these old geezers come from? Let's just bury them."

The words "bury them" echoed in Dexter's mind, leaving him stunned. The man had said the words so casually like he was suggesting getting rid of some garbage.

Dexter froze at those words.

But the man wasn't bluffing. A few of his subordinates emerged from behind him, and judging by their determined expressions, they were genuinely about to carry out his order.

"You wouldn't dare!" Dexter, having never faced such humiliation in the past, strained his neck and shouted, "Do you even know who I am? If you lay a hand on me, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Instead of intimidating the man, Dexter's outburst only seemed to amuse him further. He chuckled and replied, "Oh? Regret it? What's your plan? Will you come back and haunt me as a ghost?"

Dexter was rendered speechless. His earlier threats were the desperate cries of the powerless. They carried no weight at all.
