One Night Surprise

Chapter 501 Like a Lost Lamb

After asking around the nearby markets, Courtney then started to check the nearby stall one by one until she finally found the familiar silhouette in East Borough Market on Vine Street an hour later.

Not far away, she could see a middle-aged man fish a fat carp out from the tank before descaling before he took out its guts and placed it in a black plastic bag. Handing it to an old woman, he took the money at the same time to complete this motion in one swift motion.

After receiving the money, the man was so busy that he did not have the time to wipe his sweat as he quickly attended to his next customer.

Standing from afar, Courtney watched all this in silence. If not for the recognizable tattoo on the back of the man’s neck, she would have a hard time linking this honest and hard-working man to the same evil man that walked out of Old Master Duncan’s room.

Taking her phone out, she then took a photo of him.

Not long after that, the man received a phone call only to hang up with a heavy expression. After telling the person beside him, he removed his waterproof overalls before heading to the market’s exit.

Just as Courtney was about to follow him, her phone rang at this moment, which surprised her, after which she shut her phone off while rejecting the call at the same time.

From the west exit of the market was a small park nearby. As the man hastily walked there, he would occasionally turn back and be alert as he looked around, making Courtney, who was hiding and sneaking around, nearly lose him.

After he had crossed the road, he went into the park’s side entrance. While she hid under the thick greenery, Courtney finally knew why the man came.

She immediately took her phone from the bag only to realize she had shut it off, just as she wanted to take a photo. Yet, it was this slip of attention that gave the two people the chance to disappear.

Feeling a sense of unease, Courtney was about to leave when she felt a person appear behind her. After that, a dull pain spread from behind her head as she tried hard to properly stand up. She still slumped onto the ground in the end.

Right before she lost consciousness, she could see from her blurry vision that a shadow approached her and took away something from her hands.
