Olivia pretended to be afraid. "What do you want to do? I saved you. Let me go. I need to go look for herbs."Wayne picked her up and threw her onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He didn't treat her like a woman at all. He also took her backpack and slung it over his back. "Give up on trying to get away. I won't let you leave before you completely heal me."Olivia smiled as she signaled to Undecim with her hands. She intentionally exposed her medical proficiency so that Wayne would think she was useful. She would be able to look for the ring in secret while she was providing treatment to Wayne.Maybe she could even help Mason and Ethan uncover more secrets. The silhouettes in the distance were getting closer. "Are you okay, sir?""Sir, is this a prisoner from the enemy? Why is it a woman?""Should we bury her alive?""Why don't we chop her up and feed her to the fishes?"These people were just like Wayne. They were all cruel. Wayne was topless. He didn't look lik
Olivia couldn't see anything because of the jacket covering her face. Olivia could clearly feel Wayne leaning over above her. "I'd stop yapping if I were you. You won't be able to appeal to my better nature if I don't have that."Olivia was speechless. She endured it. It was all for the ring. Sooner or later, she would end his life with her own two hands. After some time and several turns, the car finally stopped. It was just as Olivia was about to vomit.She was picked up again before she could catch her breath.Soon, she was thrown onto a cold, hard floor so roughly that she thought her bones would break.In a fit of rage, Olivia pulled off the jacket on her head and threw it away. She didn't do it earlier because she was afraid she would see something she wasn't meant to see and get killed. She stood up and pointed at Wayne. "What kind of depraved jerk are you? You're a crook, an outlaw, a criminal!"Wayne sat down on the couch and crossed his legs. He was topless, and
Although Olivia had been through some hard years in her life, she had never been humiliated like this. She didn't care about Wayne's status. She slapped him resoundingly while he was still in a daze. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the room. Wayne came back to his senses and pinned her hands above her head. He was already topless to begin with, so their position looked quite indecent.The man in black covered his mouth and cleared his throat to mask his embarrassment.Glaring at her, Wayne questioned angrily, "You dare hit me?""Why not? You're a punk. Let go of me, you pervert!" Olivia said as she sat up and headbutted Wayne despite the fact that her hands were restricted. Both of them were reeling from the impact. Wayne loosened his grip on Olivia after that blow and stared at her in disbelief.He had never seen such a bold woman in his life. Olivia had lost her cool. She jumped on him and scratched his chest repeatedly. She left several red marks on his chest."Yo
After Olivia's reminder, Alan said, "You're right! I was wrong. It was goats. Also, there were those flowers that bloom during winter. What are those called again?""Valerian. It has medicinal purposes. It helps with insomnia. Just ask if you have any other questions," Olivia replied calmly with a confident glow in her eyes. Noticing that Olivia had seen through his ploy, Alan rubbed his nose awkwardly. "I'll get to the point. What herbs were you looking for?""Moonflower. It's a flower that only blooms when the moon is out. Its petals are bright and attract fireflies."Alan asked some more questions after that, but he wasn't able to find any holes in Olivia's story. "I apologize for what happened before this, Dr. Ophelia. Mr. Maxwell is a little quick-tempered. You'll be rewarded handsomely if you heal him."Olivia frowned. "I don't care for any rewards. I just want to be set free. Who are you people?""Don't worry, Dr. Ophelia. We won't hurt you as long as you cooperate. On
"You don't have to be so nervous, Ms. Ophelia. You just have to focus on providing treatment for Mr. Maxwell. He requested for you to go to him and administer treatment."When Olivia got there, Wayne had just gotten out of the bathroom. He had a towel around his waist. His muscular torso and calves were exposed. The bandages she put on him yesterday were all wet. It looked like some blood was seeping from them.This man was completely unhinged. Olivia had met plenty of men, but Wayne was the roughest of them all. He was a complete maniac. "Don't you know you're hurt?" Olivia asked as she pointed at his arm. Wayne dried his hair casually with a towel. He said nonchalantly, "That's why I asked you to come treat me. Do you have a problem with that?"What was he thinking? Wayne was testing the limits of her patience.Olivia glared at him angrily and poked at his head. "Are you insane? Let me go if you plan to die! I won't be able to cure you no matter how good I am if you're unco
Olivia knew his identity, but she was just one person. There was nothing she could do to change the situation. Even if she killed Wayne, Carathia's assault wouldn't stop.Arlandia was forced to respond in kind, but fighting violence with more violence wasn't ideal.She didn't know how Wayne could talk about something like that so casually. She composed herself and asked, "Who are you, really?""You just need to provide treatment for me. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else."Olivia looked troubled. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She said calmly, "I need to use the bathroom. Go lay in bed. I'll examine you properly later. Your issue is not with your head alone."Wayne raised his chin. Olivia locked the door as soon as she entered the bathroom.Since nothing happened last night, it seemed like their suspicion of her had been dispelled. It was a great opportunity because Wayne had just showered. She noticed that he wasn't wearing the ring on his finge
The man was weakened to begin with. That stab was enough to kill him instantly. Some of the blood stained the soles of Olivia's shoes. She had killed some people over the years too. But she had a bottom line. She only killed people who deserved to die. Judging from these people's attire, they were just citizens who loved their own country. The man's expression looked a lot like Mona's before he died. Both of them were innocent people who died because of her. No matter how much time passed, she still couldn't get used to a situation like this. Olivia touched her own face subconsciously. For a moment, it was like she could feel the warmth and sensation of Mona's blood on her face. Wayne was pleased by her shocked expression. He slowly walked next to the dead man, crouched down, and pulled that dagger out of his chest. He twirled the dagger in his hand. He was about to stick the dagger into another person's chest. Olivia grabbed his hand. "Don't do it!"The dagger in his
Olivia looked like a harmless little bunny before Wayne's towering figure. Her body was trembling subconsciously as she moved backward with her hands propping her up on the ground. She looked absolutely terrified. That was precisely what she wanted him to see.It was only logical for a normal person to want to run away when they had just seen a man kill an innocent person in cold blood.It would be more suspicious if she were completely docile. It was a psychological showdown between the two of them.Olivia said in a shaky voice, "I… I'm just out for some fresh air. I never thought about running away!"Wayne bent over slightly as he looked at her. With a devilish smile, he asked, "Is that so?"Olivia nodded her head frantically. "That's right. I'm just getting some fresh air. Please don't kill anyone else.""Since you're not running away, why would I harm anyone needlessly? But it's chaotic out here. I'm restricting your freedom for your own good. I hope this is the last time y
