Ethan wrapped Olivia tightly in his embrace, warming her up.She buried her face in his chest, circling her hands around his waist. "Don't move. Let me hug you."Solitude had been her sole companion all these years, rain or shine.Like a bird flying restlessly, she now hoped for a place to take a break."Okay." He cooperated meekly, hugging her silently in the shade of stars.They knew each other long enough for him to know her like the back of his hand. His deep, masculine voice rang in her ears. "I'm here, Liv."She listened to his pounding heart and stayed that way for a while. It wasn't until Olivia started sweating that she released Ethan."Feeling better?" he asked.She was fully recharged. "Much better. I'm hungry. Anything to eat?""Hold on." He carried her to the couch. She didn't switch the lights on. The starlight projector was enough to light up the whole house.The sound of sizzling came from the kitchen. Soon, Ethan served two plates of steak and took out

There was dead silence in the room where Molly rested in Yale's embrace. "Yale, what did Vanessa tell you? Can't you tell me about it?"He gave her a light pat on the shoulder. "Nothing. Why didn't you tell me how much you suffered before this?"If it hadn't been for Olivia's reminder, he wouldn't have asked someone to look into what Molly did to get pregnant.Molly always brushed him off that she was taking supplements for her health. Little did he know, those casual words had hidden the hellish experience she went through.She smiled happily. "It's already in the past. Look, I'm just fine. Besides, I just want to give birth to your baby."She nuzzled his chest like a kitten. "If I can bear your baby, I won't have any regrets in this life. Don't blame me, Yale.""There's just nothing I can do about you." He sighed helplessly. Molly pulled his hand to her belly. "It's wondrous to think that our baby is right here. Are you happy?""I am.""But the corner of your lips are droop

Olivia dropped by for a moment before leaving.The Heaths' driver drove her to the airport. It was a flight to Orbit City.She deliberately let Mason know her schedule so as to not worry him.The Orbit City was near the borders. Lately, Arlandia and the neighboring country hadn't been on friendly terms. So, it was dangerous to travel here at this time.The residents along the borderline had evacuated, yet Olivia disguised herself and got a ride from The Black Ravens. She was attempting to sneak out of the country.As an S-rank, she either had the luxury of time to spend or had an S Rank mission waiting for her.There was Olivia in the van. Unlike its dirty appearance, the cabin was heavily modified. There weren't just weapons and fire ammunitions. Its tires were also bulletproof.Olivia wore a mask, becoming another person. It was the identity she had been using for years. It was a fake identity that others could track down.In fact, the owner of the identity had long pas

The arduous journey lasted a day and a night long. Olivia took a break under a tree.In contrast to their prosperous country, it was desolate behind the mountain.She had been to many places and seen various sights. She had witnessed both happiness and encountered poor kids who lost their homes due to wars.She spent her free time helping out people in need. She donated goods to the disaster areas and schools for the poor kids. She established organizations to help pitiful women and cared for the homeless.It still pained her to see the desolate scene. There was a limit to her helping all the needy people in the world all by herself."You're such a hard nut to crack. You're an assassin yourself, yet you sympathize with those people." A voice broke her reverie.Her head shot upward. Undecim, who was awake, handed her a bottle of water. "No mission failure. Only mission success. Don't you dare be the good guy and ruin our progress.""Got it."She took a break before suggesting,

Olivia quickly left the scene when she saw that Kelvin and the others were climbing up the tree.She finally understood why Ethan lost his cool. It was because Kurt was involved. Kurt's death was something that would haunt him for the rest of his days. Now that Olivia knew Wayne was the one who killed Kurt, her gaze grew cold. It was all the more reason to end his life. Undecim hadn't contacted her yet. He probably hadn't found Wayne yet. Olivia quickened her steps. There were people from two other countries after Wayne besides them. She analyzed the location of the two plane crashes. She was able to get a rough estimate of Wayne's location based on where Ethan landed. He should be by the river! Olivia ran toward the river in the dark. She was able to find the man strapped to a parachute after traveling a short distance. He was also unconscious, like Ethan. The man was dressed in black, and his figure was well-built. His height was similar to Ethan's. His face looked e
