The housekeeper walked up to him and said with a heavy voice, “Boss, the attack was very sudden. We couldn’t find Madam’s body.” Lloyd’s eyes lit up. “No body? Then, how do you know Nelly’s dead?” “The staff said she didn’t leave with them. Someone saw her get shot in the chest. She probably didn’t survive.” “Why didn’t she run?” Lloyd asked. But no one had an answer. Just then, Lloyd’s assistant ran up to him. “Boss, you need to see the video Madam posted.” [I’m letting you go so you can be with each other. Goodbye.]

How could my balance be zero? I checked again and again, logging out and refreshing the app, but the result didn’t change. It was still zero. A cab I managed to hail slowed briefly before the driver sneered at me. "No money? Then don’t waste my time." The car sped off, leaving me standing there humiliated.

At a time when I needed support the most, they had already hidden their knives, ready to strike when I was at my weakest.

Knowing that he was someone who barely showed such a face, they all knew he had some big news for them. "What is it?" an agent asked. "It's Tang Yazhu! Our best agent! I just heard the news from the Senior Elders! She's dead! She didn't survive!" After Geng Jun finished announcing, the place fell into a deep silence. As for Qiao Dong, his world shattered along with the silent cafeteria. "I told you, didn't I? No one can leave this place." Someone sighed, "So, not even our top agent could successfully execute this mission."

Then he let out a heavy sigh and looked at me with disappointment. "Sophie paid for the groceries. She bought two dishes she likes. Do you have to be so petty and make everyone unhappy?" The breath trapped in my chest pressed harder, making me feel even worse. I lowered my head, unwilling to say more. "Adrian, let's div-" With a bang, the study door closed. Adrian had left.

We all went out of the tents. “Speak!” I said the moment I was sure the coast was clear. “Luna, Beta Zack, Gamma Dan, I’m afraid I have very bad news.” The soldier began. My heart began to thud in my chest. What could the bad news be? “Speak!” Gamma Dan hissed out, already anticipating what was happening. “I’m afraid the Alpha is dead.” The soldier said.

“I saw the news. I saw the Alpha in the video. Is it really true that our brother is dead?” Zeedar tucks one hand in his pocket, ignoring Freck to go stand beside Heaven’s bed. The former follows behind him, urging, “please say something, brother.” “I buried him,” Zeedar mutters, and Freck’s world pauses for a moment. He still manages a stutter. “So… so he really died.” He watches keenly at Zeedar as the latter nods. Then when his legs start to vibrate, he sits himself down on Heaven’s bed lest he falls.

Ivan was silent for a moment before he sighed and said, "Leo's dead." Gripping her phone, Seraphine had a vacant look in her eyes. "So he's really… dead?" Ivan confirmed her suspicions. Then, he said, "We can't bring back the dead. Don't feel too bad about it, Seraphine." "You're worried for nothing. I'm not feeling bad about it at all." Seraphine seemed intent on proving something.
