Sylvia's POV:
I was so furious. Blair had moved so fast that he completely caught me off-guard!
"What are you doing?" I shouted.
Blair gently extracted the SIM card from the wreckage and handed it to me, saying, "If you use your phone now, in less than ten minutes, Rufus will locate us."
I was speechless after hearing what he said. I had no prior experience in this field and neglected the notion that the empire's technology was advanced.
I slipped the SIM card into my pocket and picked up the tiny wolf pendant on the ground. It had been dangling from the phone, but now its tail and one of its pink ears were missing. I wiped the mud on it carefully.
"Rufus gave that to you?" Blair inquired.
"Yes," I answered coldly.
"Well, it's so childish. I can't believe he would give his mate such a trinket. He is filthy wealthy. Shouldn't he lavishly give you jewelry and properties?" Blair broke out laughing, which irritated me.
I glared at him and asked, "Where is your phone?" With a smug smile, he pulled two burner phone from his pocket. "I've already prepared spare ones. For safety's sake, we'll use them."
Then he handed me the white one. We only had each other's number saved in the contact list, making it easy for us to contact each other.
Blair shook the black one in front of me. "They look like couple phones, don't they?"
I rolled my eyes at him and walked out of the cave first.
Blair stopped a gentle-looking she-wolf and pretended to be confused. "Excuse me, Miss. Why is the pass suddenly heavily guarded? I see that a lot of cars are not allowed to pass through." The she-wolf smiled and warmly explained, "A ferocious criminal has arisen in the empire. The royal family issued a nationwide arrest warrant with a reward of several hundred million dollars. I'm unsure what exactly this criminal has done, but whoever catches him will become rich overnight."
Hearing this, Blair and I exchanged silent glances with one another.
The she-wolf unlocked her phone and showed us the electronic arrest warrant. "Take a look."
I was utterly flabbergasted when I saw the photo. Wasn't this Blair?
"This is a really rare spectacle. The reward is a considerable sum of money. What do you think this man had done? Maybe he abducted the prince's wife and that's why the royal family is now so pissed, ha-ha!" The she-wolf chuckled before turning to face Blair, only to be confused after a brief moment. She then glanced back at her phone and mumbled, "Eh, why does this person look like you?"
At this point, I had a bad feeling in my gut.
