It's not that he doesn't trust Rayne, his playmate since childhood, but that Rayne's behavior makes it impossible for him to deceive himself anymore.
It would be okay if it happened once or twice, but one after another, Leanne would go out for an hour or two every day in the next few days.
On the first day, Zack was forgiven for thinking that Rayne was losing his temper again and planned to wander around.
As the number of times increased, even if Zack was blind, he could clearly feel the problem with Rayne.
Zack decided to follow up and take a look.
So, there was a scene before us.
Zack saw Lane tiptoeing into the cave, and Zack still remembered this cave as the treasure place the three of them discovered when they were playing when they were children.
Zack calmed down—he wasn't going to rush straight into the cave with his blood boiling.
He knows that his strength is no match for Rayne. If during the confrontation, the things in the cave touch Rayne's secrets, he may not be able to escape from the cave.
Zack cautiously approached the cave, found an area with thick grass, and listened carefully against the stone wall, hoping to hear a few words coming from the cave.
The cave is not deep. It can be said that if someone shouts loudly inside, people approaching outside can still hear the sound inside.
Therefore, Zack naturally heard Lotran's shout.
At first, he just felt that there were elements of auditory hallucinations, but after picking his ears and shaking his head, the sound had not disappeared.
Zack had to consider the possibility that Lautrand was involved.
But what if Lautrand was kidnapped by Renne and taken to the cave.
That Lautrand outside...
How should we explain it?
Could it be that Lautrand outside is Renne's accomplice in disguise?
Zack couldn't accept this possibility, but the reality told him all the time - Lane kidnapped his father, and maybe even Lane was a fake!
Then, nothing is impossible!
Maybe Rayne has been killed by people outside the Kingdom of Wakanda, and they disguised themselves as Rayne and sneaked into the Kingdom of Wakanda...
When Zack thought about this possibility, he shuddered all over, but at the same time, there was a rush of blood from his heart to his brain, making even his calm mind a little excited.
Suppressing this restlessness, Zack quietly waited for Rayne to come out of the cave.
And until Rayne came out of the cave, Zack made no move because he knew that at this time, any move, one minute earlier or one minute later, would be extremely fatal to him.
According to what he knew about Rayne in the past, she will return to the outpost in half an hour. At that time, it will be his time to enter the cave.
Zack quickly got into the cave. During this period, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance. Because Renne had extremely rich experience in fighting enemies, it was not difficult to make some small traps and place them in the cave. p>
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would have fallen under Rayne's trap long ago. The poisonous arrows or poisonous wood thorns that were shot were enough to make the intruder see Rayne's evil smile the next day.
But Zack, who knows Rayne well enough, will not fall for the calculations of these gadgets. He clearly knows Rayne's conscious habits of placing traps, and is no stranger to the process of dismantling traps.
After breaking through the trap left by Rayne and walking to the depths of the cave, Zack still couldn't believe what he saw.
I saw a sturdy middle-aged man sitting cross-legged beside the stone wall of the cave. The ropes tied around his body were as good as a layer of steel bars. There was not a single sharp stone in the area around the man.
It was obvious that any chance of escape was cut off by Ryan.
Only the crumbs on the ground and the smelly places can indicate that this person has lived recently.
Zack whispered: "Uncle Lautrand..."
A moment of silence.
The sound echoed in the empty cave.
Zack swallowed.
He wanted to know if all this was true, and if the imperial man in front of him was Uncle Lautrand...
"Zack?" Lautrand, who had closed his eyes to relax, opened his eyes slightly and saw Zack, who was slowly approaching.
And when Zack heard his name, his heart seemed to fall to the bottom.
There was no excitement, no sudden realization, and he was extremely calm. His heart was extremely calm. For a moment, Zack didn't even know the meaning of being here.
Renne really kidnapped Lautrand...
And the Lautrand outside is fake...
"Zacks, have the patriarchs taken care of Rayne? How is Rayne?"
Zack is a little confused about Lautrand's current emotional state. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't Lautrand untie him as soon as possible?
And what is happening now?
Zack regained his composure. While untying Lotran, he explained: "I followed Rayne all the way to this cave. The patriarch and the others don't seem to know about it yet..."
"Really?" Lautrand seemed to be relieved.
But then Lautrand felt strange. If it looked like this, wouldn't Renne's plan fail? Even Renne's plan was over before it even started...
As long as Lautrand comes out of the cave and reports to the superiors, let alone stealing the treasures of the border tribes, Renne and her accomplices will not be able to protect themselves.
Zack helped Lautrand up: "There is still you outside now, Uncle Lautrand, what should we... do?"
"Outside... is there another me outside?" Lautrand was dumbfounded.
"That person should be Ryan's accomplice. Before that, I thought he was the real you..." Zack became calmer.
"Disguised as me...disguised as a grain transport officer...what exactly do they want to do?" Lautrand hurriedly ran out of the cave.
"No matter what, we can't let Lane's plan succeed."
In his eyes, Rayne is not a guy who takes the Kingdom of Wakanda so seriously. He can even ignore the rules of the kingdom and escape from the kingdom's territory.
What Ren wants to do now is no longer something that Lautrand and the others can guess.
Hurry up...
We must tell the clan leaders about this as soon as possible...
As soon as Lautrand took a few steps forward, he felt dizzy. Even the phantom of Rayne appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Zack stood motionless on the side.
Lautrand looked closely and saw that it was not a phantom, but Renne herself!
Also, in addition to the stiffness caused by sitting for a long time... there seem to be other reasons for my slow movements!
Toxin!
Slowing poison!
"Bread... there should be poison in the bread you fed me in the morning..."
Lautrand was so angry that he was foaming at the mouth. He wanted to break Renée's long legs. Why was this girl so cruel?
This is really going to kill him!
Zack smiled bitterly and said: "Ryan, what do you want to do?"
