Chapter 1023 - 1026: Sending You on Your Way

"Alright, let him come along!" Congressman Gu made the decision.

"Melody!" Jared Quinn’s face was cold and stern.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You have to trust me. I managed to handle Ona, so these guys are no problem," Melody Thorne said nonchalantly.

"I will definitely protect my mentor well," Jenson Ona vowed.

"Congressman Gu, let’s go," Melody Thorne glanced at him dismissively.

"Mr. Jared, the madam has never been to such a place, how can you agree to let her go?" The butler spoke up anxiously, "What if something happens in there?"

"Do you think she’s a pushover?"

"The butler said, "She doesn’t seem like a pushover, but the key is that kind of place, I fear..."

"Go call Harold Chapman over for me."

"Yes."

On the military vehicle,

"You all heard what I just said, right? Please bear with me. I’ve been spoiled since childhood and can’t get used to sleeping in uncomfortable places," Melody Thorne leaned back comfortably in her seat.

The large rear compartment had only her inside, as she claimed she didn’t like sitting with men and drove them to the front seats.

The soldier driving in the front looked grim, "Miss Thorne, we invited you here not to treat you as a deity. You should not overextend yourself."

Melody Thorne immediately took out a recorder and turned it on, "Excuse me, am I entering as a prisoner?"

Seeing the device in her hand, the person immediately changed their expression, "Miss Thorne, please hand over all your belongings."

"Sorry, I refuse. This recorder is my safeguard against whatever you might do to me. It will serve as evidence then."

"You—"

"Miss Thorne is joking. No one will do anything to you before we get to the bottom of things," Congressman Gu rubbed his brow.

"That’s good."

The vehicle stopped at a property resembling a base, with many soldiers.

"Miss Thorne, is this room satisfactory to you?"

Melody Thorne glanced inside. The room was all prepared, hinting at an extended stay.

"Unsatisfactory," Melody Thorne looked around disdainfully, "Didn’t I tell you earlier in the car? I said that if I were to stay longer, the bed must be European style, or I won’t sleep well. And what’s with that quilt? So unsightly. I’m used to being spoiled, replace everything here. I won’t enter until it’s redone."

"Yes, hurry and replace it, what’s going on with this bed?" Ona gave the bed a kick, and it collapsed loudly.

Melody Thorne paused, "...This bed is too poor, I refuse to sleep on it."

"You all—"

Congressman Gu raised his hand to stop a soldier behind him from speaking, "Follow Miss Thorne’s instructions."

Everything in the room was replaced, Melody Thorne ordered a heap of food.

"Mentor, I wonder what Congressman Gu is scheming, placing us here with good food and drink, but ignoring us," Melody Thorne took a small piece of dessert, looked over at Ona munching on meat.

"Do you know what soldiers usually do after preparing fine meals for prisoners?"

"What do they do?" Ona asked, his mouth full.

"Send you off."

"Cough cough," Jenson Ona choked, coughing repeatedly.

"Alright, just eat. I heard they have many tricks, probably trying to let our guard down. Just stay vigilant at night," Melody Thorne chuckled.
