The woman in front of Adrian had perfect facial features.'She's definitely not an outlander and a bona fide Navian!'At that moment, the woman's eyes glimmered with grief, or perhaps hatred. She coldly stared at Adrian as though she had an endless grudge against him. After she wiped the blood from her lips, she drew out another dagger from her suit. It was clear that she had steeled herself to fight Adrian until one of them was dead.Adrian frowned. ‘She seems to be prone to using the same tactics. If memory serves me right, this is the second time she has found someone to impersonate her.’A ball of fury grew inside of him. It was clear that the woman he was facing at that moment was not the real Eternity.Adrian immediately spoke through his communicator and said, "Ivy, Eira, Eternity may already have entered Bloody Rose through some other route. Keep your eyes peeled."Ivy responded, "Understood."Adrian said nothing more after that. Instead, he quietly looked at the woman b

Adrian fell silent, while Louisa took a deep breath and said, “I have no more family left in this world. I used to think Ivy and the others were my family, but it turns out I was too naive. They abandoned me for their own sake.""Is that why you've given yourself to Eternity entirely?" Adrian asked."Shut up! Do you know what despair feels like?!" Louisa yelled, seeming extremely agitated. She furiously continued, "You've never been through what I've experienced, so you'd best not ask me to call on my better conscience. None of you know… Not even Ivy and the rest know how Eternity treated me after they all turned to you for help. I've been living in a constant nightmare ever since!“I had no other choice… My heart has long died since they abandoned me."Ivy and the other women had been ordered to retrieve the book from St. Elmer's Church's secret room in Swallowston. In the end, thanks to Adrian, their mission failed miserably. Being unable to return, Ivy and the others, who were L

Louisa was stunned and slowly put down her hands as Adrian's words echoed in her ears. Finally, she lowered her guard completely.Adrian walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ivy hasn't given up hope, even now, Louisa, and you shouldn’t either. I'll get you out of here, I'll take you home so that you can pay your respects at your parents' graves. I'll take you back to your hometown so that you can reunite with your relatives and neighbors. All you have to do is trust me."One more thing, we need to fight for all those things."Louisa looked up in a daze after listening to Adrian's words. She silently gazed at him before asking, "Is it true? Can I really go home? It's been more than ten years now, and I really miss home. Can you really take me home?" Her tears streamed down her face.Adrian nodded in all seriousness. "Yes, I can. Not only can you go home, but you can also fall in love like the others, put on a white wedding dress, and form a family of your own."Lo

"Why does she want the bertrandium?" Adrian asked."I'm not sure, but there’s no doubt it’s extremely important to her. In fact, every single person left behind here in Bloody Rose is just a sacrifice who had zero value to her."Plus, I heard that Bloody Rose's headquarters had already moved elsewhere a long time ago, and the people here are all meant to be her sacrificial pawns."Louisa had been staying there for many years, so she would sometimes hear pieces of gossip.Adrian replied, "Are you saying that Eternity has people transporting the bertrandium through this secret passage?"Louisa nodded. "Yes, they're transporting it. The entrance to that secret passage is three levels beneath that entrance, and I know how we can get there.""We don't have to go there. I need you to get me to Eternity. I'll make arrangements for the rest."After that, he spoke through his communicator again. "Gale, scan the area and find an exit through the underground. It should be somewhere close t

‘Looks like she expected us to make our move.'At that moment, all of Eternity's actions showed she was planning on discarding the stronghold. On top of that, she wanted Adrian and the others who entered to be buried beneath its explosion.When Louisa heard the news, she anxiously yelled, "We need to gather everyone! Eternity must be planning on blowing up this place the moment they leave. I'm sure they're moving through the secret passage right now."Adrian frowned. 'She's a rather formidable character to have made it this far. However, she’s about to lose if she has made such a move.'At that thought, he said, "Ivy, Eira, get everyone out of here now! We'll meet them at Seatum.""Yes, sir!""Retreat!"Adrian turned around and said, "We should get out of here too, Louisa. Eternity has made this a lot easier for us by doing as such."After that, he brought Louisa out of there at once, while Ivy, Eira, and the other women made their hasty retreat as well. Everyone managed to get

Max immediately got ready upon receiving his orders.Still confused, Ivy asked, "Don't you think it's bad to celebrate a victory you haven't won yet, Adrian? Are we really ending the mission when we haven't saved anyone yet?"Adrian remained silent.Meanwhile, Gloria smiled and said, "The battlefield is always changing, and there will be times when even the best-laid plans may change at any given moment. And every time there is change, there's a chance the entire battle may end."According to our original plan, it’d be extremely difficult for us to succeed if Bloody Rose chose to fight to the bitter end. However, Eternity has chosen to abandon the stronghold and leave, which means we can end all of this."Ivy and Eira exchanged looks, still confused about what was going on.Gloria smiled. "You'll understand in a moment."The two women shook their heads and stopped asking questions.***Meanwhile, on the third underground level of Bloody Rose, were people moving around through
Chapter 983
The entire passage was hit by a series of earthquakes thanks to the continuous explosions from the surface. The team transporting the bertrandium picked up the pace as their transports were rushing to get to the other end of the passage.Aside from that, a group of women was following the team of killers toward the end of the passage in confusion. They were all nurtured by Bloody Rose to become killers, and their lives had been confined to this place a long time ago."Hurry up! Pick up the pace!" someone inside the passage yelled.The higher-ranking personnel within Bloody Rose got into their vehicles, while the killers, who were the lowest-ranking, were on foot and being urged to move faster. Of course, Eternity herself had gotten in a vehicle with a few of Bloody Rose’s directors."What the hell is up with Draco? There's no way Wyvern Peak would attack if they knew he was in here."One of the directors said, "I don't think he's up there. What we should focus on right now is gett

The other women wiped away their tears, feeling extremely helpless.Another woman asked, "Do you think War Legate Draco will kill us when he gets here? What's Eternity planning? Do you think she's going to force us to fight Wyvern Peak later?""I don't know." Helen shook her head. "But, in any case, we should all play it by ear no matter what happens later. Take care of yourselves and don't give up hope.” She tried to motivate them with her words.The women took a deep breath and continued running despite how exhausted they were. If they stop running, the bertrandium-loaded cargo trucks would run them over without hesitation.Bloody Rose was making a full retreat, while Eternity sat in her vehicle, still seeming as cold and prestigious as ever. She turned around to look at the darkness behind her and unconsciously clenched her fists. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'm going to kill you for ruining my plans multiple times, War Legate Draco!”"Move!""Faster!"Bloody Rose continue
