Chapter 507
Phaedrus found Bridget peculiar, and her presence felt too random. His instincts told him that her words were untrustworthy, so he turned to face the man with yellow teeth again. “She’s already given us Darius’ location, so I’m sure we know what to do next—that is, I think we should go to the hotel’s backyard.”After saying that, he did not wait for the man’s response; Phaedrus marched straight for the backdoor.The man’s jaw fell slightly while his brows furrowed; that was the first time he felt like a genuine idiot for overlooking the details. He glanced at Bridget with growing skepticism before turning to face the other way and catching up to Phaedrus. The man thought, “This chick claims Darius is resting on the second floor, but if Phaedrus chooses to go to the backyard, then Darius must be at the back! After all, Phaedrus’ judgment has never been wrong over the past few years. It’s all thanks to Phaedrus that my forces can get away with doing illicit business.”Only after the t

“Damn you, Phaedrus! It seems you’ve been hogging the limelight for far too long among our group! I won’t allow it! I won’t let anyone displace me—I’m pretty sure you knew this much when joining our team. Yet you didn’t bother hiding or changing your desire to break that rule! The way you’re acting now has wounded me. I don’t think I can ever forgive you. Therefore, you can either die here or vanish from sight forever. Those are the best options for you since you once mentioned you loathe the thought of friends turning against each other. If you cease to exist today, I can tell everyone that Darius killed you. That would also allow me to achieve my ultimate goal—having total control over the group again.”Bridget sneered once she finished repeating the man’s words. The truth shocked her, especially since she had not met anyone with such thick skin.Meanwhile, Phaedrus’ voice grew hoarser by the second. “I can’t believe you’d do this. Although you’ve always made some drastic decisions,

Although she had a hand in causing this, she still felt shocked. It was, after all, different from anything she had experienced before since most of the blood came from one person. In the past, to achieve victory, she would have made at least three people bleed to their deaths. Yet, now, the majority of the blood was Phaedrus’. He applied pressure to his wound while standing upright. Most of his injuries were on his abdomen. The rest of his wounds were barely visible; all Bridget could see was how Phaedrus struggled to cover his stomach, which still emitted the heavy stench of blood. That continued until his pants got soaked. His blood even dripped from the hem of his pants, pooling on the ground outside the backdoor.Bridget furrowed her brows, feeling conflicted about what to do. She would have to cross the blood puddle if she wanted to walk over to the enemy like a regular person. Doing so would stain her literally and spiritually. Alternatively, she could always use her abilit

“Without him,” Bridget continued, “You’d be long dead. Despite this, you want to kill him because he’s more powerful than you. How can I not laugh when an ungrateful little prick like you exists?”A frown marred Phaedrus’ face. At the same time, hopelessness flashed in his eyes, knowing Bridget’s loud announcement made it impossible for him to regain his group’s trust anymore. He sighed, locking eyes with Brock while saying, “I’m indeed a member of the authorities, but you’ve got one thing wrong—I’m not a spy sent by the authorities, police, or the government. The truth is very much the opposite of what you think; I’m not a spy, but I have a bone to pick with the authorities!”“Hah! Hilarious. I doubt anyone would believe what you’re saying.” Brock rolled his eyes at the former. His face paled once more as he was unwilling to accept the cruel truth; he was the only one who would believe Phaedrus, regardless of how bizarre the latter’s words sounded. Overwhelmed with an unprecedented

Bridget’s eyes narrowed to slits. Despite her smile, her other facial features seemed cold.That was when Darius opened the backdoor inside the hotel and saw a trembling Brock, who could barely stand upright in front of Bridget. Likewise, he noticed a more polished man among the enemy team, Phaedrus, who lay dead on the ground due to severe injuries. Frost coated Darius’ eyes as he scanned the battlefield, where people were still fighting in the background. However, both teams seemed like their minds were elsewhere. Frowning in annoyance, he thundered, “Listen up, every staff member of Umbrite Hotel! I want you to fight off our enemies with the utmost seriousness. Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences! Need I remind you guys that I’m quick to anger?”He then turned to look at Brock and calmly said, “I’d surrender if I were you. After all, the only one who can effectively defeat our security guards is Phaedrus, but he’s dead. No one can help you since you’re so useless. Tha

The way Brock slumped to his knees made it seem like he was willingly begging Darius for mercy.Darius cocked a brow and could not help chuckling heartily. It caught every person’s attention, as they had always viewed him as handsome and stern; it was their first time seeing him laugh without self-restraint, so it shocked them. Being the center of attention started making Darius uncomfortable, so his lips gradually pursed. Even so, his eyes were slightly curved in amusement as he looked at Brock, who knelt on the ground and had yet to accept the current outcome. It was not long before Darius shut his eyes, speaking in a casual tone. “Hah! I always thought your mind was incapable of intelligence, but I didn’t think even your actions would be this stupid. Even a one-year-old that had just learned to walk wouldn’t fall so clumsily while walking. What a joke.”Brock’s eyes widened at Darius. Hesitance flickered in his eyes while he pursed his lips several times. Eventually, he forced h

The enemy’s weapons, dropping all at once, produced the sorrowful sound of defeat that reverberated in everyone’s ears. Even their hearts ached at the thought of losing.“Thank God it’s all over,” Bridget said, sighing while raising her brows. She then turned to return to her room, thinking, “Alicia’s capable of wrapping things up here.”As expected, once she opened the backdoor to re-enter the hotel, someone opened the door from inside—it was a panicked Alicia. The latter rushed over so frantically that Bridget had to take a few steps backward. With a smile, she asked, “What’s going on? Why the rush? Why don’t you tell me, and maybe I can help out.”Alicia was panting so hard that she could barely speak. Bending forward and resting both hands on her knees for support, she took a haggard breath before replying, “N-No, I’m good. Instead, I was only checking up on your end and seeing if you needed help. Also, I found something that might help you next time.”It took a lot of effort for

“I’m willing to tell you about that. Truthfully, I only know a little, but the so-called associate backing my late boss is a figure in black robes. He often appears in the middle of the night, or at least that’s the case whenever I spot him. It’s just that he hasn’t appeared in a while now,” the man revealed all in one breath before casting a teary look at Bridget. At the same time, for an unknown reason, he nudged the shoulder of the person beside him. A smile spread across Bridget’s face in that instant. “All right, you may leave. Once you get out of here, I suggest you find a proper job instead of working for illicit organizations like you are now. This line of work has no bright future and puts you at risk. If I ever catch you on my future enemy’s team doing unlawful things again, I’ll make you pay twice as much—one for your current sins and another for your future offenses. Got it?”The man gulped before bowing politely at Bridget and fleeing without a moment to spare. However,
