Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 331 - Bab 340

Evan would never have imagined that simply stepping out of a car would lead Hazel and the other two to such wild conclusions.To him, he was just getting out of the car. But to Hazel and her companions, there was far too much to take in.Evan was dressed like a refined young gentleman as he stepped out of a one-of-a-kind Maybach while the mysterious woman was still seated inside the car, never showing her face.Every detail stuck out with stunning clarity; each one leaving a lasting impact on their hearts.Hazel and the others felt like they were losing their minds under the weight of so many shocking revelations.All the things they had planned to say shriveled up and died in their throats."Hm?" Evan noticed the three of them standing at the entrance and instinctively tugged his lips into a frown. However, his displeasure quickly smoothed over.He and Hazel had nothing to do with each other anymore. They were strangers. So it didn't matter if they ran into each other. He felt

Evan froze when he saw who was inside.The person in there wasn't William. Instead, it was a woman with an extraordinary presence.How extraordinary was she? Well, she was so striking that a single glance felt unforgettable.Her smile could shake the heavens, her aura almost otherworldly.She wore a long, modernized traditional dress that flowed gracefully around her, her figure slender and poised. There was something distant about her. She was akin to drifting clouds, seemingly cool and untouchable.Her long hair was swept up neatly, secured with nothing more than a simple hairpin. He noticed a trace of coldness flickering in her eyes now and then. Yet, he also noticed the depth in her eyes. It was as if she held an ocean of stars beneath all that coolness.Evan had seen plenty of beautiful women. Sylvie, Ivana, and Estelle were all among the very best. However, he had never met someone like her.She felt as though she didn't belong in this world at all. There was something abo

That look was so piercing that it was as if their hearts had actually been pierced by a physical blade.It didn't matter whether they were Nightingale, Butcher, Predator, or Specter as all four froze where they stood. None of them dared to move a muscle.A fear that came straight from the depths of their souls surged up without warning. It was as if they had been dragged into a pitch-black abyss beneath the ocean.How was this possible?Shock flooded Nightingale's mind.Following that gaze, they noticed that the three members of the Stanton family all showed instinctive unease in the suffocating darkness. Sylvie and Ivana were especially shaken.However, there was one woman who stood out. She was just standing there calmly. There wasn't the slightest trace of panic on her face from beginning to end.She had been the one who'd made them freeze in their tracks.She even gave them a faint smile, as if mocking their methods as childish tricks.A violent storm crashed through Night

Finding out the truth about his own origins had always been one of Evan's goals.He had been worrying about where to even begin, until what Nightingale had said caught his attention—the Imperia Norwood family.That was enough to make him lock onto her.But Nightingale's eyes were already unfocused, her voice trembling. "I… I don't know. We were only told that the mysterious expert protecting the three members of the Stanton family was connected to the Imperia Norwood family…""Then who hired you?" Evan pressed."I don't know! We only take orders from above!""Then you're useless to me."Evan didn't get the answers he wanted, and his anger flared. The slap he delivered carried overwhelming force.Nightingale didn't even have time to react before she was sent flying. Her body slammed into the ground like a meteor, blasting out a massive crater.She died instantly.Silence fell. Even Gaius stood frozen, staring ahead in shock. Everyone present looked as though they had just seen

The sanatorium was as good as destroyed. Still, there were plenty of other military sanatoriums—Gaius' treatment wouldn't be delayed because of it.During this time, Evan checked on Gaius again.His recovery was progressing well, but there was still a long way to go before he could return to his peak condition.Gaius chuckled, unfazed and optimistic. As long as Evan was around, he believed he would be fully healed."It really makes you wonder how many rats are going to crawl out while I'm recovering…" he said with a sigh.When he had been at full strength, none of those shady figures had even dared show their faces.Now that he was injured, enemies—both in the open and in the shadows—were starting to emerge one after another."I guess I really am getting old."Evan smiled. "Old Mr. Stanton, don't say that. Once you've recovered, you'll still be the same man who stands above everyone—the one and only Iron Dragon of South Dominion."Gaius burst into hearty laughter. "Now that's
