Veronica was startled by the action. She didn't hear anything but something cold that felt like a hand grabbed her shoulder. Her soul left her body. She involuntarily opened her mouth to shout. However, the person understood what she would do and covered her mouth.
Veronica fought to get out of the attacker's grasp but the attacker overpowered her.
"Shh… don't scream…" the attacker whispered.
Urulas!
Veronica's eyes widened in surprise. As she stopped struggling, Urulas let her go. She turned around. Her eyes were already adjusted to the dark. She could see his body structure.
"Why are you here?" she whispered back. "I thought you were still looking for your brother."
"We found him. Come this way." He held her hand and guided her further toward the tunnel.
