Romeo hoisted Rosemary onto his back once again.
"Looks like the girl they’re talking about was Clark’s girlfriend, Carol."
Rosemary didn’t resist. She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured,
"I didn’t realize Carol held such a high position in the organization before."
Being unanimously respected by the elders, she must be pretty talented.
Previously, Clark thought Carol was a sweet, fragile girl.
It seemed that Carol always presented herself as a gentle girl in front of Clark and their parents—much like herself.
"Think about it, she’s been missing for a year, and no one in the organization can find her. This shows that she indeed has some skills," Romeo analyzed.
He also wondered what kind of existence this organization was, as he had never heard of it before.
"She managed to hide for over 300 days. That’s impressive," Rosemary looked at Romeo’s profile and said softly.
"It seems our guess was right. Carol probably wanted to leave the organization for Clark and ended up hurting the elders, hence the death sentence."
"Dedicated to love and righteousness," Romeo commented. "Respectable."
"I wonder if she’s hiding around here," Rosemary speculated. "The most dangerous place may be the safest, perhaps?"
"Unlikely."
Even if it were safe, it wouldn’t be possible to hide under everyone’s noses for more than 300 days without being discovered.
"I think there might be something here that’s worth our time," Romeo speculated. "Perhaps some kind of leverage against the organization."
If the elders were ruthless and didn’t hold back, then Carol might also plan to go down fighting.
Didn’t those two men mention earlier that what the elders cared about was that thing?
That thing might be incriminating evidence.
"Look, something’s going on up ahead."
At this point, Rosemary’s gaze fell on the mountain ahead. The terrain was steep and not suitable for setting up camp, so few people ventured there.
However, there were some lights and people at the foot of the mountain.
"Put me down," Rosemary whispered in Romeo’s ear.
Romeo squatted down. After she got off, he took the binoculars she handed him from her bag and looked ahead.
There were indeed people gathered at the foot of the mountain—not many, about a dozen or so. It seemed like they were guarding the mountain.
Could this mountain hold some unknown secrets?
Rosemary also took out binoculars from her bag and looked towards the foot of the mountain. These people were walking back and forth, as if patrolling or perhaps protecting the mountain.
Could there be some secret hidden inside?
"Something’s off." Rosemary tried to get a clearer look, but her view was obstructed due to the terrain.
She looked up to see a large tree nearby and softly told the man beside her,
"Wait for me here."
In a few strides, she climbed up the tree and quickly perched on its thick trunk. She took out her binoculars again and continued observing the situation.
Romeo chuckled lightly and followed her up the tree.
"Without some unique skills, I really wouldn’t be able to keep up with you."
Rosemary didn’t expect him to follow. She smiled and continued observing the foot of the mountain.
"Look, someone’s coming out from inside."
There seemed to be an entrance in the mountain. The man who came out was treated with great respect by everyone, who bowed and nodded at him.
"What do you think they use to go in and out?" Rosemary speculated.
"Fingerprints? Or something like a swipe card?"
"Could it be the small silver key that Carol left behind?"
"Why don’t we find out?"
Rosemary, light as a feather, descended from the tree to the ground.
