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.

Gracia gestured at Adrian and said, "What do you think? Is there anything that needs improvement? If there’s anything, you'd better tell me now before it's too late."Adrian remained silent. After a moment, he asked, "Is the mechanism inside easily accessible?"Gracia replied, "I knew you were going to ask that. We've set up three methods to activate it. The first is through fingerprint, the second is a facial scan, and the third is with a key. We've put those in place in case of an emergency.""Can the mechanism open up from the outside?""No, it can't be opened from the outside. Only the person hiding inside can open the container. We did it this way in case they get spotted by the enemy, which would mean certain death for the person inside if they manage to open it.""That won't do," Adrian replied."Why not?""If the person inside gets into some sort of accident or some kind of illness acts up while they're inside, causing them to be unable to open up the box, how do you pro

Night gradually fell, and the sky turned dark.At that moment, many people in Novemton were closely following the operation at Serpent's Haven. Lucas and the others had been trapped there for two days, making that night the final chance for them to be rescued.Glovern did as Adrian requested and fully modified the airdrop containers, while the meteorology department closely observed the weather changes at Serpent's Haven.Back at Azure Creek's headquarters, Blaze and the others were all ready and waiting for their orders. Meanwhile, Tempest-1 arrived and hovered above Drogoton before making its landing. After that, more than a dozen cargo trucks rushed out and headed for Glovern to pack up the containers inside.That night, Crystal, the elders, the secretary, and other core members sat inside Novemton’s main hall. They anxiously waited for that night's operation to commence. This was a secret operation that not even Novemton had announced to the public. Although Novemton was fundam

Everyone in Novemton was engrossed with their lives. Very few knew that at that moment, a storm was brewing in Azure Creek and Drogoton. Many were unaware of War Legate Draco's secret operation.Time soon passed, and the people of Drogoton could see more than ten cargo trucks appearing on their streets, transporting something they failed to identify as the trucks headed to the airport. The Tempest-1 was parked inside, causing the people of Drogoton to gossip among themselves.Outside Glovern's main entrance, the last cargo truck left the building and headed for the airport. Finally, Gracia heaved a sigh of relief.'I suppose I've done everything I could. We managed to build those airdrop containers for the rescue mission. Now, it's up to Adrian and the others to do their part.'At that moment, her cell phone rang, revealing to be a call from her sister."Riri?" Gracia answered."We’re almost back at Azure Creek with the containers, Cici. After that, I'm going to Serpent's Haven i
