Rather than landing, the helicopter simply hovered a few inches above the ground… and shortly after, the door was slid open. “All five of our men have returned safely, and so have the two survivors, ma’am! The child is a boy around eight years old, and the woman seems to be around twenty-five. Their injuries are dire, so should we fly them to the hospital immediately?” Ignoring the man, Ian simply peered into the helicopter… and though both of the unconscious people were covered in blood, Ian could see that Jenna was one of the survivors…! Though this was a good thing, it didn’t help much with his guilt. After all, many others were still dead because of him… In the end, he simply ordered, “…Fly them both to the nearest hospital! Stat!” “Roger that!” With that, the hospital soon flew away… and after staring at Ian for a while, Zivon turned to look at the commander before saying, “List down the names of the deceased as well as their family histories. I’m expecting your report a

Alas, even though countless detectives and official search parties were involved in the week-long search, nobody was able to locate even a strand of Xavia’s hair! Though Ian was a courteous man, even he couldn’t stop himself from roaring, “Useless! All of you! Why the hell were you all hired if you can’t even find a single woman…?!” Naturally, nobody dared to say a word against him. After all, everyone in the room knew that they were the cream of the crop, so there was literally no reason for their incompetence! Since nobody was replying, Ian simply continued glaring daggers at them as he added, “I hope all of you are aware that not only is my sister’s life on the line, but also your honor and reputation! Can you imagine just how shameful it would be if those from the black market find her first?! What will they think of our country’s capabilities?! I’ll say it right now that if anything happens to her, I’m firing all of you…!” Following that, the icy man turned to leave, leavi

Stopping in his tracks, Zivon raised a brow as he replied, “…Come again?” Nodding slightly, Jenna replied, “…They say great minds think alike… and though I’m no longer the terrible woman I used to be, I may be able to anticipate how that vile woman thinks.” “…Fine.” Now that she had his approval, she was quick to say, “…Thank you. Anyway, since nothing had gone her way ever since your marriage, I’m assuming that she only had two options left in her mind. Firstly, she could choose a route where nobody would get a happy ending… and secondly, she could lay low for a while until she got another chance to get back in the spotlight.” “Sadly, I think she’s opted to go for the first option… After all, she hasn’t contacted you in a week, and she already knows how much you hate her… With that said, I can only assume that she’s hiding Xavia somewhere just to torture her over and over again for her own distorted satisfaction…” By this point, Zivon’s aura was icier than the coldest winter

Sneering in response, Whitney retorted, “You’re calling me maniacal when you’re the one in the dog cage? Ironic! I should get a mirror to let you have a good look at yourself, you mutt!” Despite Whitney’s taunts, Xavia’s determined glare continued burning through Whitney as she growled, “Drugs again, huh…?! Aren’t you afraid of retribution? And do you really think Von will ever fall for you this way?!” Chuckling in response, the sinister woman replied, “Please, we both know that he’ll never like me… He’s done everything that he could for you, and he’s even told the entire planet about our marriage! Do you two really think that I’m that stupid? Huh? That heartless man will definitely find a way to get back at me if I ever return, and knowing that, I can safely say that I don’t care about his love anymore! I just want everyone to suffer!” “This is the price to pay for humiliating me to no end…!” roared Whitney, much to Xavia’s dismay. After all, it was evident that this woman was l

Sure enough, the old man’s eyes soon widened as he replied, “…Can I take your word for that?” “You can! Just look at this bracelet of mine, sir! It’s clearly an expensive one, so giving you that much rice is no problem for my parents!” He had to admit that her pearly white bracelet seemed pricey, so after pulling his beard for a while, he ultimately nodded before saying, “…Deal! Honestly, you just need to walk past two paddy fields and climb up that hill to get to the main road. Come, I’ll take you there.” “T-thank you…!” exclaimed the overjoyed woman as she quickly bowed thrice in her appreciation! Things were finally looking up again…! Alas, as she followed the old man through winding paths, she soon began feeling nervous again. After all, the terrain felt rather familiar… and soon enough, they were standing in front of the cowshed that she had just escaped from…! Just as she was about to ask whether they had taken a wrong turn, she noticed a second too late that the old ma
