"Helen's going to get us out of here.""Keep a low profile and follow everything Helen tells you later."Thus, all of the women to be saved were informed of the plan without anyone else noticing. Every single one of them remained silent as they ran for the exit. Behind them, Eternity and a few of Bloody Rose's directors were in their vehicles.At that moment, Eternity said, "Inform the people on the boats to ready their weapons and kill anyone who dares to try and escape.""Don't worry, everything’s already prepared. None of them will try to escape. They wouldn't dare to try even if you gave them the chance."Eternity nodded.As they got closer and closer to the exit, they could see the lights coming from the boats docked at Seatum. There were about another two hundred meters to cover before they got to the exit."Tell everyone to get ready to run toward the mountains in the east as soon as they leave the passage, the faster the better. Someone will be there to pick us up!" Hele
The deafening blast crumbled the entire exit, trapping Eternity and the others within.A ball of flame rose up into the starry night sky.Helen and the others slowly came to a spot upon hearing the series of explosions. They turned around and saw that all six boats had been sunk while Eternity and the others were buried inside the secret passage.At that moment, all of them felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably as their vision blurred.'We're free!'Never in their lives had they ever dreamt of the day when they would regain their freedoms."Helen, is Eternity really dead? We've made it out… We've made it out!" A woman standing next to Helen was unable to contain her excitement.Helen pursed her lips, her eyes moist with tears. However, she did not dare linger for too long and waved. "Sisters, get to the mountains. We can’t stay in case something else happens.""Got it!"The women excitedly ran toward the mountains.In less than ten minutes after Helen and her sisters enter
Adrian took a short nap after that.It was already two in the afternoon by the time he woke up.Adrian walked out of his room and saw a lot of people all over Wyvern Peak. Many of them were gathered outside the main hall, with Gloria and Mya making arrangements for them.When Gloria spotted him walking out, she smiled. “You’re up."Adrian nodded.At that moment, outside the main hall, Helen led more than twenty thousand of her sisters from Bloody Rose to stand outside in an orderly fashion. When Adrian walked out, their gazes all turned to him. Immediately after, with Helen taking the lead, they all got down on one knee to thank Adrian for saving their lives."On your feet, all of you," Adrian commanded.The women got up, and Helen walked toward him."Thank you for saving us, War Legate Draco. Thank you for saving us from that prison. We will never be able to repay you for this.""No need to thank me. There's nothing worth thanking. Nevertheless, I'd like to congratulate you a
Just as Helen and the others were about to leave, Adrian suddenly thought of something and said, "Hold on. There's one last thing you all need to do before you leave!"Helen and the others were curious at first, but they quickly realized what it was.'Eternity!'After last night's incident, she had most definitely been arrested and was under Wyvern Peak's control. Finally, the vicious woman was about to get her just desserts.Mya said, "We've captured Eternity alive and will bring her here in a moment. It's up to you all what happens to her next."She then took off, while Adrian brought the women to Wyvern Peak's main hall.The hall was extremely glorious, with a throne fashioned into a shape of a dragon located on a raised platform. That was the throne for Wyvern Peak's legates. However, since Adrian was no longer the acting legate, that throne was no longer his according to the rules.Gale had someone place a chair at the base of the platform holding the throne for Adrian to s
Eternity’s panic deepened when she heard this. It was clear that none of her excuses or reasons were going to work on him.Anxiously, she replied, "Don't you think Wyvern Peak was the one who caused all of this? The Eight Hollows showed up at the outlands and took control over many forces, plus they're now in control of Dragon Peak. Right now, they're the ones who should be your greatest threat, not me."Adrian interrupted her and said, "I'm not asking about them right now. I'm asking why you formed Bloody Rose.""There's no reason for it. I just wanted to prove myself," Eternity replied"What do you mean?""I was abandoned by my mother when I was little and grew up with my father. Later in life, he married someone else. That woman would always hit me and curse at me. Afterward, I gouged out her eyes before I murdered her and her child. From then on, I chose evil. I came across an opportunity to form Bloody Rose, and that's when I began kidnapping women from all over the world to
Even someone like Eternity felt true fear in the face of impending doom. After all, there were few who could remain calm when knowing they were about to die.Yet, her pleas fell on deaf ears, unable to receive Ivy and the other women's forgiveness.Ivy said, "What's done is done, Eternity. What you should do now is to face the consequences bravely. Regardless of how you choose to face the matter, your fate is set in stone."Helen added, "Everything you've done over the years is enough to merit your departure from this world. Nobody can do whatever they wish without facing the consequences."Faced with the woman's determination, Eternity lowered her head. At the end of the day, she was still a person who failed to free herself from her natural instincts, no matter how capable she was."I don't want to die…”Eternity trembled as she spoke, her head lowered. She sounded extremely helpless as though she was trying to make a final plea.Adrian saw this and remained silent for a while
He arrived at the topmost part of Wyvern Peak which faced a tall snowy mountain.Standing there, Adrian seemed to be lamenting over something. He was imagining the time Eternity was beaten up by her stepmother."Are you feeling sad about what happened to Eternity in the past?"Without Adrian noticing, Gloria, who was wearing a windbreaker, came to stand behind him with a smile on her face.Adrian glanced at her and nodded. "Her heart might’ve been pure in the past, but it became twisted after her stepmother’s constant abuse. I think someone deliberately lured her to tread on this irreversible path."Gloria sighed. "You're right. Perhaps she, too, was a victim, just like Ivy and the others. I doubt she would've arrived at this point if someone wasn’t pushing her from behind.""That's right," Adrian replied."Who do you think it was? You already have an answer in mind, don't you?" Gloria asked.Gloria knew Adrian as much as Samantha did despite being separated from him for five y
At three in the afternoon, Adrian led Alan, Blaze, and the others back to Azure Creek's headquarters as Helen brought her sisters to Novemton to accept Crystal's assignment.Before parting ways, Helen, Louisa, Ivy, and the others promised they would go out for barbeque and beers and gaze at handsome men after they returned from Serpent's Haven.***The group arrived at Azure Creek two hours later.Upon arriving, Gloria, Mya, Alan, Blaze, and the others remained on high alert. They sat together, intently studying the map of Serpent's Haven as Lena bombarded them with intel about the place.Meanwhile, Glovern at Drogoton was building containers out of bertrandium as quickly as possible for the paradrop. Everyone in the company was busy with their respective tasks.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Gracia, who told him that they had completed the containers required for the paradrop and wanted him to test them out.Adrian rushed off to Drogoton upon receiving the call.
