Chuck was surprised to hear the voice. It was a woman.
As expected, someone had been captured and locked up here as well. It would be easy for Chuck to escape alone, but he would have to rethink his plan now if he were to save another person!
"Unfortunately, yes. Who are you?" Chuck tried squinting in the dark.
"I'm over here," The woman's voice was very weak. How long had she been locked up here?
Amidst the darkness, Chuck managed to touch a woman's cold hand. He approached her and spotted a pair of beautiful eyes. The woman introduced herself as Adriana Whitlock, a seemingly beautiful woman in her late teens.
"Who are you? How did you get caught?"
Chuck asked urgently.
"Didn't you come here to save me?" Adriana seemed very surprised.
"No, I just bumped into these people in the Amazon," Chuck sighed. He had no reason to lie here.
"Sigh, is that so?" Adriana sighed flatly.
"How long have you been here?" Chuck asked.
"Probably three days or so. I sneaked out alone and got caught." Ariana did not seem to be afraid. Despite being in a dire situation, she sounded very composed.
Chuck was confused. How did she manage to stay calm? Was she someone from an influential family?
"Which family are you from?" Chuck asked curiously.
"I'm not from your home country," Adriana shook her head calmly.
"Where are you from? I don't mean to be rude, but you bring with you a noble aura, so you're probably from an influential family. Tell me, which family are you from?" Chuck was curious.
He came to the United States and of course, he did not plan to be ignorant. He knew that there were a lot of families in this world, with a lot of families hailing from his home country.
"You wouldn't know even if I told you," Adriana shook her head.
"What do you mean? I'll definitely know, tell me," Chuck really wanted to know. She was too confident, so she must come from an influential family.
She was not putting up an act, it was not something that could be done overnight.
"You're really ignorant. Do you think that there are no other families in the world except for the current families?" Adriana raised her eyebrow indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Chuck asked in confusion.
"You really don't know, huh? Other than those families you know, there are still some hidden families scattered in the world," Ariana replied. "What hidden family?" Chuck laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Adriana was puzzled.
"I don't mean to hide it from you, but my mother is very powerful. She has many properties in the world and she even purchased some small countries. No matter how powerful your family is, will they be better than my mother?" Chuck teased.
"Tell me, who is your mother?" Ariana seemed a little interested.
"Karen Lee, my mother is Karen. Have you heard of her?" Chuck asked smilingly. If Ariana's family was very powerful, then she must have heard of Karen.
"Karen Lee? The most potential candidate to enter our hidden family for the past twenty years?" In the dark, Ariana's beautiful eyes were gleaming with interest.
"What? My mum is only a potential candidate?" Chuck was unhappy to hear that. His mother was very powerful. She had so many corporations all over the world but she could not enter the hidden family?
"Unfortunately, she's still only a candidate," Adriana simply shook her head.
"What does the hidden family do?" Chuck wanted to know.
"We run businesses like your mother."
