Chapter 155This Did Not Bode Well at All

Ann and Adam followed the senior Elder in front of them, with the Enclave guard

contained on all sides by the Royal guard as they made their way to one of the private

didn’t miss the curious look that Adam gave her either.

possible, but there was a definite hint of suspicion in his tone.

Ann smiled lightly and shook her head.

“I don’t know for sure, no. However, I can only pray that I’m wrong in my suspicion.”

facility, she had been concerned that something like this might happen. However, she

had reasoned with herself that they transported inmates constantly to that facility, and

there had never been successful attacks on the convoys before.
