Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413

Melody Summers thought, ’Whether this Mr. Caelus is reborn or truly has the ability to predict the future, based on all the lives The Advent Sect has so carelessly snuffed out, they all deserve to die!’

The problem was, this Mr. Caelus was far too cunning and always had multiple escape routes. The police had already failed twice to round up his group and wipe them out.

Since Gene Young and Yvonne York were high-ranking members of The Advent Sect and could contact Mr. Caelus, perhaps the police could start with the couple to excise the malignant tumor that was The Advent Sect.

Therefore, Gene Young and Yvonne York couldn’t die. Not yet.

Unfortunately, the heavy snow had sealed off the city, bringing everything to a standstill. The police couldn’t make house calls, so there was no way to bring the couple to justice for the time being.

In that case, she might as well turn 1501 into their prison. She would hold Gene Young and Yvonne York captive here for now. In a few months, when the ice and snow melted and the police could finally get through, she would let them take the couple away for investigation.

With that thought, Melody Summers continued, "You know as well as I do that calling the police is useless in this situation. Even if I let you go right now, you have nowhere else to run. The snow outside is over ten meters deep, and the building entrance is completely sealed."

"So, you have no choice but to stay here. You’ll stay here and keep a close eye on Gene Young and Yvonne York. A few months from now, when the snow has melted and the police can get through, you’ll call them and hand this couple over."

Noelle Quillan’s eyes widened. She asked in astonishment, "Me? Keep them prisoner? But... I’m all alone. How am I supposed to imprison both of them...?"

Melody Summers pursed her lips. "It’s simple," she replied. "I’ll go tie them both up and lock them in a room. You just have to toss them some sand vine cakes every day. Just make sure they don’t starve to death, and you’ll be fine."

Noelle Quillan swallowed hard and replied hesitantly, "Okay... I’ll do my best..."

Seeing her hesitation, Melody Summers frowned in displeasure.

She leaned down, staring into Noelle Quillan’s eyes, and said in a low, firm voice, "Not ’do your best.’ You *must* do it. Noelle Quillan, things have come to this. You have no other choice but to do exactly as I say."

"Noelle Quillan, think about it. The people of The Advent Sect are ruthless. They’ve never given a damn about human life. Gene Young and Yvonne York left those women on the second floor to freeze and starve to death, and you witnessed their evil firsthand. They will not let you get away with that!"

"If you dare to betray me, or if you go soft and let them go, you know what’s waiting for you, don’t you? They will kill you to silence you the very first chance they get!"

As Noelle Quillan listened to Melody Summers’s analysis, her face grew paler and paler.

She knew Melody was telling the truth.

’This Cult is ruthless,’ she thought. ’They don’t care about human life at all. I saw them murder those women with my own eyes. They’ll never let me go...’

Seeing the despair and fear in Noelle Quillan’s eyes, Melody Summers pressed on. "But if you do as I say and hand the couple over to the police after the blizzard ends, you could help the police eradicate The Advent Sect!"

"That way, not only will you get your revenge, but you can also use this as leverage to plead with the police to release your daughter, Joelle Lawson, sooner. What’s more, seeing as you’ve performed a great service, the police might even give you a reward!"

"Adam Lawson and his parents are dead now. You and your daughter are his only heirs, so their apartment will be yours. Haven’t you always wanted to just live a peaceful life? Once this blizzard is over, you can take the reward money and your daughter, go home, and finally live that life!"

Using what little power was left, Melody quickly scanned their messages, hoping to find some information about Mr. Caelus. Unfortunately, after a long search, she came up empty.

It seemed the couple was extremely cautious, leaving no trace of their connection to The Advent Sect on their phones.

Melody sighed with a hint of regret and tucked the phones away in a nearby cabinet.

’Good thing there’s a massive power outage,’ she thought. ’A dead phone is perfectly normal. Otherwise, if Mr. Caelus found he couldn’t contact his subordinates, he’d get suspicious. That would risk tipping him off.’

After arranging everything, Melody checked the other rooms to make sure everything was in order. Then, she returned to the storage room and untied Noelle Quillan.

Melody led Noelle Quillan to the master bedroom and pointed at the bound couple. "I’ve tied them up," she said. "Just in case, I added two chains. I have the only key. Unless you chop off their heads, they’re not leaving this room. You can rest assured of that."

Noelle Quillan looked at the iron chains around the couple’s necks and breathed a sigh of relief, nodding at Melody.

’Tied up like this, they shouldn’t be able to break free,’ she thought. ’I should be able to handle them.’

Melody thought for a moment, then added a warning. "Still, you need to be on your guard. This couple is extremely treacherous and cunning. Be careful. Don’t talk to them more than you have to, and don’t fall for any of their tricks."

Noelle Quillan nodded, her expression cautious. "Don’t worry. I’ll just come in every day to give them two sand vine cakes, and I’ll leave the room right after. No matter what they say to me, I won’t listen or respond. I won’t give them any chance to brainwash me!"
