Chapter 4620
It was clear Justin had sent these men. Their mission was nothing less than Renee’s elimination. Even though their intentions were now fully exposed, the group didn’t care. To them, it didn’t matter because Renee was as good as dead. Revealing their objective was inconsequential at this point.Renee's expression turned grim. She knew there was no negotiating with these people. Their eyes radiated nothing but murderous intent. No matter what she said, they wouldn’t listen.Looking into the distance, Renee spotted a dense forest ahead. Then she glanced at the large yellow sphere in her hands, her expression growing more conflicted. Carrying Adrian now felt like a burden. If she abandoned him, her speed would undoubtedly increase. But when she recalled how he had helped her in the past, a deep sense of gratitude softened her resolve. Staring at the yellow sphere, Renee steeled herself. "No, I must take him with me. Even if danger lies ahead, so what?" She looked at her attackers and s

The group of black-clad men surged forward, their desire to kill Renee now burning stronger than ever. With Adrian still in her arms, Renee darted into the dense forest as swiftly as her burden allowed. However, her speed was significantly hindered, and in no time, the group managed to encircle her completely.The men sneered at Renee, their cold laughter echoing in the woods. One of the black-clad leaders smirked and taunted, “How laughable, Princess Renee. I can’t decide if I should mock your foolishness or your naivety. That massive thing you’re carrying is clearly slowing you down. You’re trying to escape, yet you refuse to let go of it. Could it be some kind of treasure? If it is, why not hand it over to us? My brothers and I will take it back to Ciawales on your behalf. Who knows? We might even put in a good word for you.”The surrounding men shared his wicked laughter, their sharp eyes fixated on the earthy-yellow sphere in Renee’s arms. They figured it to be something valua

The group of black-clad men stared menacingly at Renee, and their leader said in a calm but chilling tone, "Since Princess Renee refuses to cooperate, we should simply have to take matters into our own hands."With that, the group charged forward like a pack of ravenous wolves."Haha! We’re coming, Princess!" one of them shouted.Renee’s face darkened at the sight. She knew these men wouldn’t spare her, and the fury in her heart burned brightly. But despite her anger, she felt utterly helpless. The situation was completely beyond her control.To get them to stop, Renee would have to comply with their demands. But she understood all too well that doing so would be futile. After all, giving in would only seal her doom in another way.Behind Renee, Adrian remained cocooned within the earthy-yellow sphere. The chaos outside seemed to have no bearing on him as he lay unconscious, his fragile life force flickering faintly like a dying ember.Protecting Adrian had become a burden Renee

Suddenly, distant sounds echoed through the air, growing louder and closer. A voice, firm and resolute, called out, “Princess Renee, we’ve come to help!"From afar, the sound of galloping horses and clashing armor thundered closer. Renee’s eyes widened in astonishment. The voice was strikingly familiar—it was the commanders of the Ciawales soldiers.Renee stood frozen, overwhelmed by the unexpected sight. What was happening? She watched as a group of well-armed soldiers charged forward, their banners unmistakable. Relief washed over her face as hope rekindled in her heart.The black-clad men, on the other hand, were visibly alarmed. "Ciawales soldiers? What’s going on? Didn’t we ensure they wouldn’t be alerted? How are they here?"The leader barked out, “Retreat!”But before they could escape, the Ciawales soldiers encircled them. Their commander shouted, “How dare you attempt to assassinate the princess! Unforgivable! Kill them all!”At his command, the Ciawales soldiers stormed

There was no other like him.The entire city of Swallowston had to accommodate the man’s every move today.“Who else?
