Johanna’s vengeance demanded the blood of her enemy!
It as
ery time she recalled that night, it felt as though an invisible hand was gripping her heart, suffocating her with
Archie’s death at Imogen’s hands was a memory that haunted Jehanna. Every unbearable pain.
She had to get her revenge. She needed to!
It not for that burning desire, she wouldn’t have endured and scraped by until now.
Now, with an opportunity finally in front of her and after all the patience and suffering, how could she let it slip away?
Inside the SUV, no one noticed the slight tremble of Johanna’s eyelashes. As the robed figure continued chanting commands with the bronze bell in hand, Johanna moved.
With sudden, unprecedented ferocity, she lunged forward. The sheer force of her impact was like a cannonball slamming into the robed figure, sending him crashing into the car door
In the next instant, the bells slipped from his grasp, snatched away by Johanna in the chaos
The robed figure’s expression wisted in shock and fury. “What are you doing?” he roared.
Pere, sitting nearby, was equally stunned. For a moment, he froze, neither reacting nor moving. It wasn’t until Johanna leaped out of the car, clutching the bronze bell, that the robed figure backed at Pete, “Are you blind?”
Pete E finally snapped out of his daze and shouted to the men in the other whicle, “Get her! Bring her back!“
The men rushed forward, but it was already too late.
In the brief moment of opportunity, Johanna manipulated the bronze bell to issue one final command to the venomous creature within. Then, without hesitation, the raised the bells high and smashed them down onto a nearby rock.
Afurious curse escaped the robed figure’s lips. “Fuck!”
venomous creature insida had been killed by the blow was unclear, but johanna collapsed onto the ground,
The bronze bell cracked under the force, leaving a jagged hole. Whether the ve laughing hysterically.
She remembered that the robed figure had once said, “If the bronze bell is ever destroyed, the last command given will force the connected venomous creature to fulfill their command even at the cost of the life of the host. There’ll be no turning back.”
As the bell’s frantic chime abruptly ceased, a sudden, piercing sensation like a thousand needles stabbing into the skull spread through Maurice’s head.
His controlled steps faltered for a brief moment, but only for a moment. The next instant, his body moved as if it were a perfectly calculated machine. His mind was overwhelmed by a single, chilling, and absolute command that echioed endlessly in his mind
Maurice’s eyes turned bloodshot, his pupils clouding with crimson
The last shred of clarity be held unto was slowly stripped away, consum d by the excruciating pain.
Meanwhile, Felicia, Imogen, and Scarlet finally reached the massive crater left by the explosions
there was no one there
The acrid smell of smoke and sulfur still lingered in the air. However, it
Scarlet, ever observant, pointed toward a clearing in the distance. The helicopter landed over there. It must be Mr. Russell.”
Both Felicia and Imogen turned to look.
The helicopter’s cabin door was open, and the posts from the spinning blades whipped through the area, rustling the grass and trees. Dust and sand swirled in the air, blurring the view.
Amidst the chaos, a tall, commanding figure jumped down from the helicopter. His coat flared dramatically in the wind, emphasizing his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
It was Stephan
Felicia’s gaze was immediately drawn to him, and before she could react, Stephan’s intense eyes locked onto hers. His piercing state was dick and profound, carrying a hint of reproach as if he was preparing to settle the score with her.
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Felida touched her nose awkwardly and stepped back, trying to shrink into the background.
