Se connecterOnce everybody was settled, loaves of bread were soon shared among everyone, along with cans of sardines they had gotten from the supplies they had found inside the building.Everyone sat down together, eating happily while drinking water to wash down their food. After everything they had gone through that day, even something as simple as bread and sardines felt like a satisfying meal.Meanwhile, Darren was nowhere to be found among them.He had been given another task, and that was to grab the hot pot ingredients which would be used to prepare dinner.Just when the soldiers had finished eating, Darren finally made an entrance onto the fifth floor, pushing a wheelbarrow that contained everything needed for a perfect hot pot.The wheelbarrow was the first thing to make an entrance, followed closely by Darren's happy face.Even though Ivy had the power to make everything she needed appear right in front of her, she still didn't do such a thing
The snow had accumulated far higher than before, and the road that had been barely passable earlier was now buried beneath a thick layer of snow.BOOM!Everyone turned toward the glass doors of the mall behind them when a powerful gust of wind slammed against the building door.Snow flew violently through the air, swirling so thickly that it nearly blocked their vision. The trees in the distance bent under the force of the wind, their branches being battered mercilessly by the storm."What the hell…""This is insane."Murmurs immediately spread among the soldiers as they stared at the sudden change in weather.Ivy, however, remained calm.The blizzard had arrived."What the actual fuck?!" Darren cursed under his breath as he quickly climbed into the Fierce Hunter armored vehicle.He attempted to move forward, but the truck's tires simply spun uselessly against the thick snow, throwing up piles of white powd
"What the actual fuck are you doing? Put the damn knife down!" Justin yelled, his voice filled with both anger and pleading. "Let's talk about this.""Is your boss saying the truth? That there's no space ability?" Ivy raised an eyebrow as she whispered to the young man, who was already trembling from the knife pressed against his neck. "And you better relax, or else you might end up slitting your own throat.""There's a space ability, please!" the bald-headed man immediately revealed, raising both his hands in surrender. "Please spare me. I have a wife and child.""How dare you, bastard?!" Justin roared.Ivy immediately delivered a heavy kick to his stomach, making him stumble backward before dropping to his knees unwillingly. He groaned in pain, one hand instinctively clutching his stomach as he struggled to catch his breath.Meanwhile, his subordinate quickly brought out all the supplies that had been hidden away."Here's everything, pleas
It wasn't long before they arrived.The trucks came to a stop, and everyone immediately got off, remaining vigilant as they scanned their surroundings carefully. They knew that monsters could appear from anywhere, and the slightest moment of carelessness could put everyone in danger.Once they realized that the area outside was clear, they made their way into the building they had already cleared the previous day.They cautiously entered the first floor and looked around, checking for any monsters that might have come down from the second floor....the floor they hadn't entered yet.But there were no monsters."Alright. It's time to clear the second floor," Erick finally announced as he loaded his gun, his expression becoming serious. "We don't know the kind of monsters we'll be fighting up there, so I urge everyone to be careful. Don't let your guard down."With that warning, everyone made their way up the stairs toward the second floor.
Justin was too stunned to speak as he held his face, which was heating terribly, his ears boiling like a kettle. He couldn't even form any words, as blood was already filling his mouth while his face hurt so badly that even the slightest movement sent another wave of pain through him.Meanwhile, the three girls Albert had saved had already left the moment Albert told them to, so they could go and rest and, of course, put on thicker outfits to protect themselves from the freezing cold."Argh! Some people just always prove that they're goats who need to be taught a lesson sometimes." Ivy voiced out with a groan as she gently massaged her hand, wincing slightly from the sting in her palm. "Anyways, I'm done here. I'm sure the goats have learned their lessons." She added with a satisfied expression.Without wasting any more time, she made her way towards where Darren and Erick were, leaving Albert, Justin, and his subordinate still groaning in pain on the floor.
The sounds rang loudly through the air, making even Ivy flinch.It was definitely the sound of slaps, but these were no ordinary slaps. They looked and sounded like the kind of slaps capable of knocking someone's teeth out and sending them straight to the hospital for jaw reconstruction.Ivy remained standing in place, swallowing hard as she watched the figure before her. Despite the freezing weather, the man was dressed in nothing more than a light singlet and a pair of shorts. His perfectly built body was exposed to the cold, while his short blonde hair was already covered with snow.Yet, despite the harsh weather, he didn't seem bothered in the slightest.Instead, he continued dealing with the Diamond Base men as though the cold and the situation around him were nothing worth paying attention to.But wait…That back?!Ivy's eyes widened slightly as a memory suddenly flashed through her mind.One thing she knew for cer
Bang!The door slammed shut.In the howling rain, the sound hit like a coffin lid dropping.Ivy Brooks stood motionless on the front step of her own home, her newborn daughter pressed to her chest ... three days old, barely a weight at all.On either side of her, eight-year-old Aria and six-year-ol
From the other end of the line came Ivy's voice ....calm in a way that was almost frightening."Maya, I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about. I moved out and left you the house. You should be THANKING me.""THANKING YOU?!" Maya shrieked. "YOU TOOK EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE! You didn'
Meanwhile just as Ivy had remembered, the moment Maya had the signed divorce agreement in her hands, she couldn't drag Adrian and Jack out the door fast enough."We have to go to the notary's office RIGHT NOW!" she said, eyes glittering with barely concealed greed, as if the money were already sitt
Ivy watched him process everything with nothing but mild contempt.She had already pulled the documents from the drawer.... the divorce agreement and the property sale contract, both complete. She had drafted these exact papers once before in another life… and never gotten to use them.This time, s
