Nina scoffed coldly, "Are you sure you're giving me a chance?"Her eyes were icy.Micah chuckled without responding immediately. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of her. "Back then, you said you were looking for someone—Scott, Scarlett, and Nash. It's only been a short time, and now you don't even want Nash?"A sarcastic smile tugged at his lips."Whether I want Nash or not is none of your business. Micah, you've dug into my affairs thoroughly. I've told you everything you wanted to know. You once said you'd let me leave." Nina's lips tightened, her expression heavy.Of course, she wanted to leave. She had no desire to stay in this hellhole!Micah stared at Nina, his memories of his mother faded with time. From appearance alone, he couldn't determine if Nina resembled her.Moreover, he had no photos of his mother, and his father often wore a mask, hiding his face.The only blood test they had wasn't conclusive. Yet, Nina claimed that the string of emerald beads she had wa
Micah chuckled silently.Nina knew very well that Micah wasn't being contradictory. He was testing her.At this moment, Micah was carefully observing her. She remained composed."Nina, you're very smart, and you've figured some things out. I just want to know if you're Ivy," Micah said, dropping the smile.At this point, Micah didn't want to beat around the bush. He just wanted to confirm this one thing. Nothing else mattered to him.Nina felt a chill in her heart.She was aware of everything that had happened, but without solid evidence, she couldn't be certain. She had been avoiding the truth. But now, even though they already had the test results, Micah still insisted on this.Nina found it ridiculous. "You identify your sister based on a string of beads? Those beads were in Wilfred's possession before. Is Wilfred your sister?"If you're still curious, why don't you go ask your Ivy?"Nina knew how to be sarcastic."I don't like her," Micah admitted.Ivy had been missing f
Micah trusted his instincts, but Nina did not. She felt a chill down her spine. She had only just managed to shake off her gloom and convince herself she had no connection to the Pharaoh. Now Micah was bringing all this up again.She didn't want to do the test!"I'm not doing it!"Nina was extremely resistant.But how could she compete with Mr. Joker?Mr. Joker swiftly restrained her with one hand and, using a syringe with the other, drew a vial of blood from her neck.Nina clutched her neck, her gaze at Micah growing colder. "You truly are the Pharaoh's son!"Just as ruthless, just as willing to impose his will on others.Micah's lips moved slowly. "If you had cooperated, none of this would have happened. Nina, getting a new result is good for both of us."With that, Micah stood up and gave Mr. Joker a look.Mr. Joker immediately understood.To ensure the authenticity of the results, the tests would be conducted in three separate batches, including a comparison between Mi
Ivy was feeling triumphant. At that moment, she saw Nina's compliance and sensed the fear deep within her. But her triumph was short-lived. A hand grabbed her wrist with a fierce grip, and the next second, she was shoved aside.Micah strode over, standing in front of Nina, his eyes cold and piercing as he glared at Ivy. "What are you doing?""Brother, she was bullying me, completely disregarding me," Ivy cried, her voice thick with emotion.She was quite the actress, her eyes welling up with tears almost instantly.Micah's lips twisted in a mocking smile. "Is that so?""Of course," Ivy nodded.But seeing Micah's expression, her confidence wavered. "Brother, you don't believe me?""I know exactly what kind of person Nina is and why you're targeting her. But this is the last time. From now on, stay away from here."Micah's voice was icy and precise, each word clear and cutting.Nina remained expressionless.But to Ivy, Nina looked smug.Clenching her fists, Ivy couldn't unde
Nina chuckled lightly. "Of course I know. You have your agenda, and I can't stop you. But don't let your sister interfere with me again.""Alright."Micah could have ignored her, but he still responded.Nina had found Scarlett and Scott, so she technically didn't need to go back to the slave camp. But now she said, "I'm not restricted, right? I need to go to the slave camp to find someone."Micah looked at her. "Don't you still have the black card?"The black card given to Nina had never been taken back. She was free to move about as she pleased.Nina pursed her lips and said softly, "Then let Mr. Joker come with me."Who knew if that crazy Ivy might attack again? While she still wanted to live, she had to keep herself safe."Alright." Micah was truly accommodating to her every request.Nina went to the slave camp and found the girl she had seen before."Can I take her to my old room?" Nina asked Mr. Joker.From Mr. Joker's perspective, Nina was just bringing along a fifteen
Nina called out to the girl.The girl stopped, hesitated for a few seconds, then started walking again.Nina quickly rushed in front of her. “You've been tormented here for so long. Don't you have any desire to fight back?”Nina grabbed her wrist firmly.Desire? How could she not have any?But she was a slave. The Pharaoh's men were all formidable warriors with weapons. Even if she had the will, she lacked the power. Besides, the others might not be as united in their resolve.After all, the endless torture here had numbed many of them!"I just want to survive. If I'm doomed to die, I'd rather it be quick and painless," the girl replied with a bitter smile.Nina fell silent.Though the girl was only in her teens, her bitter smile and the desolation in her eyes made her seem like she had seen eighty years of hardship.Nina patted her shoulder. "If we're going to die anyway, we might as well put up a fight. If we die with purpose, it won't be in vain."I have a plan."The gir
He waved his hand, and someone threw a cobra into the container. The cobra coiled around Wilfred's neck and sank its fangs into him.Wilfred barely flinched, merely furrowing his brows.What he had endured in the past was far worse than this, and he knew Seth kept him alive because he had a use for him. Seth would not let him die.A mocking smile appeared on Wilfred's lips. "You'd better kill me or make me a living corpse."Otherwise, as long as he lived, he would retaliate.Seth's smile deepened. "Wilfred, do you think I'll give you that chance? Or what if the Pharaoh saw his once-prized creation return? How would he react?"Pharaoh seeing his creation would only be ecstatic, perhaps even more obsessed.But Wilfred was unaffected by Seth's taunts. He had anticipated the worst outcome but still hoped for the best. He just had not expected Seth to intercept him."Then why haven't you handed me over to the Pharaoh yet? You know very well what your true motives are, Seth."Wilfre
"Well, Nina is already here," Ivy said, secretly clenching her hands in frustration, but she had to press on. If Nina did not die, keeping her around was a disaster waiting to happen.Seth gave Ivy a cold glance. "I have my own plans for this. You don't need to remind me over and over. Go back and do what you're supposed to do.""Yes."Ivy lowered her head and followed Seth's orders....On Nash's end, he was meticulously planning.He could not launch an attack under his own name. Although he had managed to infiltrate once, he could not just leave Nina alone inside the Yaren tribe. He had also tried contacting Wilfred, but there had been no response.When he called Wilfred's number, a robotic female voice informed him, "The number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."It was unrealistic to think that Wilfred would not respond at such a critical moment.Nash immediately instructed Felix, "Find the exact location of this number."Wilfred would su
