When the other Living Reapers saw this, they hastily called for their machines to swarm Kirk like bees to a hive. However, it was too late. Kirk was at the pond. Once the machines fell into the water, they were useless.And without the machines, the Four Living Reapers were useless. As they tried to escape, the Shadowers surrounded them. They were quickly subdued with a twist of their necks."Heh, they claimed to be the most powerful inventors in Finn's team, and this is what happens. Remember, in your next life, don't invent flawed machines. Or you won't even know how you'll die.""Enough." Charles interrupted the Shadowers. "If you have the energy to say this, why not focus it on the next person?"As his words fell, the celebratory atmosphere became solemn. Someone couldn't help but ask Charles discreetly, "Charles, why do we have to go in? Is it that important to check whether Eddy is dead?"Charles shot him a cold look. "What don't you understand?"They could only be at eas
Unfortunately, the men she encountered …"Your charm won't work on us, lady. Hurry up and use all your tricks." Charles frowned at the woman in front of him. He turned to Kirk and said, "Sir, this woman doesn't even have a single strand of hair as beautiful as Mrs. Morrison's. It's quite amusing that she's trying so hard to flaunt her beauty!"Upon hearing that, the woman's face changed dramatically, and the gentleness from before disappeared. "What did you say?"The woman rushed forward and grabbed Charles by the neck. "Who is this 'Mrs. Morrison' you're talking about? I don't believe it. There's no one more beautiful than me in this world!"Bring her here! Bring her to me!" The woman's movements were so fast that they startled the Shadowers. Even Kirk narrowed his eyes at her. He had been right next to Charles, but he couldn't see what she was doing clearly. Moreover, even after a while, he couldn't figure out where this woman had come from. He could only guess from her act
Meanwhile, at the hotel, Caroline's restlessness had reached its peak. For some reason, every time she closed her eyes, she immediately envisioned the gruesome scene of Kirk's death.Just as she was tormented to the brink of a nervous breakdown, the phone rang on the table. The sharp and piercing sound almost made her jump out of her skin. She picked it up and saw that it was Thomas.Caroline didn't have much of an impression of the man who had almost become her father-in-law. She only remembered that he wasn't overly warm or cold toward her. They had rarely spoken to each other.After much hesitation, Caroline answered the phone. Thomas' hearty laughter came through. "Is this Caroline?""Yes, Uncle Thomas. Is there something important for you to call me so late?" He didn't answer her question but chuckled and said, "It's so hard to get a hold of you."Caroline was confused. She asked, "Uncle Thomas, what do you mean by that?""Do you still not know? Caroline, to prevent us fro
"Gwen's heading over to see you," Sean said. "You're the most important person to Kirk. As long as you stay safe, he'll be able to fight without holding back."Caroline furrowed her brows. She didn't want to do as she was told, but she knew that she wouldn't be of help even if she headed over to Kirk's side now. She might even become a burden and drag him down. After calming down, she decided not to go and see Kirk for herself, despite the rising anxiety in her heart. Soon, Gwen arrived to stay with Caroline. "Carol, why don't we watch TV?" Gwen suggested. After all, the two of them couldn't sleep. They couldn't just sit there and do nothing while they waited.Caroline sat on the bed with her arms wrapped around her knees. Her eyes were out of focus. She nodded as she stared blankly ahead. One glance at her told Gwen that Caroline wasn't really listening. In truth, even Gwen herself was overwhelmed with anxiety and worry for Sean. The place he was going to was definitely
The woman's pupils shrank at Kirk's words. She then turned to look at the rows of bodies on the ground. "Is your wife here?" she pondered aloud. Kirk shook his head at her question. Frowning, the woman said, "Since she's not here, she won't hear you lying. This lie can save your life, so why don't you say it?" "She'll hear it," Kirk said, which angered the woman further. "Are you kidding me?" she snapped. "How can she hear it when she's not even here?" "Our hearts are connected," Kirk replied. "So she'll hear it even if we're not beside each other." The woman sneered as she eyed Kirk. She then burst out laughing. "Thomas said that you're SY Group's president," she said in disbelief. "But I don't think so. You seem like an idiot! Fine then. Since you're so concerned about your wife and just won't say that I'm prettier than her, all I can do is send you to hell!" She added, "You can tell me that I'm prettier than her once you're stuck in the depths of the underworld.
#But the woman was simply too fast. She was so fast that even the best sharpshooter wouldn't be able to aim well at her. As she was occupied with dealing with the men, Sean seized the chance to help Kirk into one of the cars. When he got into the car, Kirk grabbed Sean's hand and asked, "Where's Caroline?" "Don't worry. I told her not to go anywhere," said Sean. "I asked her to stay at the hotel and asked Gwen to head over there to stay with her."Now that Kirk could finally stop worrying about Caroline, he said, "That woman right there—she's very hard to deal with." "I know." Sean had guessed it the moment he had seen the wounds all over Kirk. "Why don't we retreat for now? We can investigate if Eddy's dead later on," Sean proposed. But Kirk shook his head. "Thomas mentioned Eddy to lure us here. He doesn't want us to leave this place. If we can't even get rid of this woman, we won't be able to escape unscathed." Sean glanced at the woman outside and saw how she defeate
The woman's stopped strangling Sean. She stared at him dubiously. Sean, on the other hand, smiled and said, "What? You don't believe me, huh? Do you know why my sister's prettier than you? It's because I helped her with plastic surgery."He continued, "That's why she's the prettiest and most perfect woman in the world. It's a shame, though, because her skin wasn't that good, so she still had some flaws, even after the surgery."But you're different. Your skin is flawless! I'm sure you would be extraordinarily beautiful after surgery. You'll be prettier than my sister." "Is that true?" the woman asked. Her resolve wavered. She took a step closer toward him and asked, "Which part of my face needs alignment? I want to become the most beautiful woman in the world!" Sean walked in a circle around her and said, "To be frank, you're pretty enough already. But you could improve your eyes." "My eyes?" She furrowed her brows with displeasure. "Do you know that I like my eyes the most
"She was one heck of an opponent," said Sean. "She wouldn't have died if it hadn't been for her obsession with beauty." His words seemed to have a hidden meaning. But Kirk didn't care. He slowly sat up.Antonio came forth to help Kirk, but was pushed away. Slowly, Kirk said, "People live because of the obsessions they hold in their hearts. What's the meaning of life if there isn't anything you can look forward to?" His words made Sean smile in understanding. …Simon stared at the surveillance footage, his eyes as wide as saucers. He couldn't help but voice out his disbelief. "Did Ms. Ziegler die just like that?" Thomas narrowed his eyes at the question and said, "When Finn lent me his men, he told me that they all have their weaknesses despite their insane strength. Since they're so strong, they're weaknesses proved equally fatal." "What should we do now? Are we just going to wait for Kirk to come to us here?" "I planned all of this so that he would come to me," said
