The entire basement’s security measures were impeccable, with many patrolling mercenaries moving back- and forth. Not even a fly could get in

However, King and Leon had clawed their way up from the corpses within the Ghost Sect, and these mercenaries were no match

They swiftly evaded the mercenaries‘ searches, guided by Oliver’s prompts through their earpieces. They quickly opened the security door and slipped in

King took a deep breath and whispered in admiration, “Gotta say, Oliver’s impressive. He opened the door without the password.”

Leon scanned the surroundings before speaking. “He’s always been talented. Do you think the Ghost Sect would keep someone useless?”

King clicked his tongue. “True.”

But then, King sensed something was off. His expression turned tense. “This isn’t good. Something feels wrong. The Shadow Palace people must be ne

His wristwatch, modified into a detection device, had started to signal a warning.

Oliver responded quickly through the earpiece, “Hold on a sec. I’m cracking the last door’s defences. Almost there!”

At this moment, the sound of synchronized footsteps could be heard outside.

“It’s too late,” Leon declared decisively. “We need to act fast.

King nodded, pulled out a small bomb from his pocket, and placed it on the final door. He retreated to a safe distance and detonated it instantly.

The powerful explosion echoed through the room, and the final security door shattered into fragments, scattering in all directions.

Inside the room, George was caught off guard by the Ghost Sect’s swift actions.

Hearing the massive explosion, his instinct was to protect Milly, holding her tightly to shield her from harm. “Don’t be afraid.”

Milly was startled by the loud noise but not genuinely frightened. Her concern was for the boy in the onge.

Apollo’s attention was entirely drawn to the explosion, and he had become extremely agitated. His eyes turned from a deep red to a bright/crimson, and

The roar of the bomb grew louder, accompanied by the sound of gunfire.

In the chaos, Milly suddenly saw a bullet heading toward Apollo. Although the bullet moved quickly, it seemed to be in slow motion in her eyes. She could

Apollo looked at Milly warily. Although he didn’t sense any killing intent from her, his strong survival instinct made him bare his teeth in a threatening manner. Milly ignored his hostile gaze and, before shel could think rationally, began unlocking t

His teeth were sharp, filled with caution, and he nearly pierced through her entire arm. Blood immediate

“Ugh…” Milly slightly winced, but she didn’t struggle or show any disgust. “Be good. I’m setting you free.” Apollo’s pupils contracted, but he still didn’t let

A small bomb had somehow been placed in front of the cage and was already beeping in the countdown. As the bright red numbers hit zero, Milly didn’t think twice.

She hugged Apollo tightly, just like George had protected her earlier, trying to shield him from the flying shrapnel with her own back.

Boom!

The bomb exploded, and the blast left her ears ringing. Darkness quickly descended, and her consciousness began to fade…

Meanwhile, King and Leon had already escaped the basement, hiding in a corner of the garden, gasping for breath.

Once he had calmed down, King asked, still panting, “Leon, what’s going on? Even if we couldn’t get the experiment, we could have destroyed it. Why d

Leon’s eyes flickered before returning to their usual calm.

“It wouldn’t have worked. Shadow Palace is better suited for a prolonged fight. They have the numbers. If we had stayed any longer, we might not have m

“And they were clearly prepared. It’s a miracle we escaped at all.”

King removed his mask and wiped the cut on his face that had been made by flying debris. “True enough.”

Shadow Palace was different from the Chost Sect.

In the Ghost Sect, everyone had climbed their way up over bodies, each with ruthless and brutal tactics, excelling in close combat and swift battles.

That’s why just the three of then dared to take on Shadow Palgee and attempt to seize the experiment because each of them was highly skilled in comba

Shadow Palace, on the other hand, while also formidable, relied on rigorous training. Individually, their combat skills and tactics couldn’t compare to those of the Ghost Sect members.

But they had strength in numbers and exceptional teamwork, excelling in drawn–out engagements, a

King suddenly recalled something and frowned in confusion. “Hey, Leon, was I seeing things, or was the girl next to the experiment wearing the outfit I de

“Wait… didn’t you buy that outfit? Could she be the one you gave it to? Your girlfriend?”

King’s attention had completely shifted, and he looked at Leon with bright, curious eyes, full of gossip. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Oliver’s excited voice came through the earpiece. “Who? Leon has a girlfriend? Who is it? A guy or a girl?”

Leon remained silent.
