Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 43

After Danielle treated the wounds of Elliot and his friends, they went to the cafeteria. The members at the fortress greeted Danielle when they saw her.

"Elliot, let’s eat something." Danielle knew that Elliot and his group must not have been eating proper meals since they came to the border.

"Danielle, when did you establish this fortress?"

Elliot wanted to learn more about Danielle.

To be able to survive at the border, Elliot figured Danielle must have suffered a lot. He vowed to protect her since she had returned to the Darling family now.

Danielle replied, "A few years ago."

She could tell that Elliot felt bad. However, her life at the border was actually quite decent.

"Danielle, you’re amazing," exclaimed Maximus. He could tell that this fortress was well-maintained. Each member had their own responsibilities.

Maximus would never have guessed that the leader of such an organized base would be so young. He felt a little ashamed of himself.

David had not been able to talk to Danielle. He quietly served food for Danielle. With David around, Danielle didn’t need to do most of the things herself.

"Elliot, are you here for the virus in the research lab?" Danielle asked calmly.

Elliot explained, "That’s right. Not only did this infamous research lab create the IV2 virus, but they are also secretly experimenting on humans and have captured many innocent people. They also captured Professor Erk. We have to save him."

"Shadow, we’ve finished eating. We’ll go now." The three of them accepted the mission and hurriedly headed to the research lab with a group of people.

"Thank you, Danielle." Elliot was well aware that Danielle had more authority than him here at the border. Although the leader of the Wulf Clan was dead, there were still many people guarding the research lab.

It would be easier for Danielle’s subordinates to rescue the captives.

David instructed, "Nathan, lead a team to support Shadow’s men." David knew that Jackson still had a capable subordinate who doubled as his adviser. The man had a high status in the Wulf Clan.

Nathan said, "I’m on it."

"Danielle, can I get a tour of the fortress later?" asked Justin as he looked at Danielle expectantly.

Although he had seen many things along their way to the cafeteria, he wanted to further explore the area.

Luke and Maximus were also looking forward to a
