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
The Pharaoh spoke coldly, "Are you planning to rebel against me for Nina?""Your affairs are none of my concern, and you don't need to interfere with mine. If you have the time to lecture me, why don't you go deal with your most loyal subordinates instead?"Seth was one, and Mr. Kerr was another.Just as Micah turned to leave, the Pharaoh called out to him, "Do you know that Nash is looking for you? In the name of Birkham?"Micah paused.He knew Nash was looking for him, but he hadn't expected Nash to go to such lengths for Nina.When Micah didn't respond, the Pharaoh continued, "I don't want to go to war with Birkham."Going to war with Birkham would be a death sentence.Birkham today wasn't the same as it was a hundred years ago. This was why Birkham soldiers could maintain peace here without getting hurt. Many countries in the region respected Birkham.Micah's lips curved into a smile. "Don't you love war and power?"The Pharaoh's voice was cold and sharp. "I don't want to
She realized she needed to get closer to Micah. However, ever since meeting Ivy, she hadn't seen Micah or even Mr. Joker. As she debated whether to seek Micah through other means, he appeared in front of her as if he could read her mind.Upon seeing her, Micah smiled slightly and asked, "It looks like you were looking for me?""Yes," Nina admitted without hesitation.She took two steps closer to him and said frankly, "I've thought things through. I want to contact Nash."Her eyes were filled with determination, and even under Micah's intense gaze, she didn't waver.Micah said, "Nash contacted me. He said Wilfred is already in the Yaren tribe."Nina was taken aback. Wilfred was already here, and Nash had been in contact with him. Was Wilfred here because of her? Nina felt a heaviness in her chest.If that were true, how important was she to Wilfred?Wilfred had been so good to her. Was it because she was Ivy?Nina's breathing became rapid, and her heart raced.Wilfred had
Micah didn't say anything. A few seconds later, he handed a phone to Nina."No passcode needed," he said, then stood up and left.The phone in Nina's hand felt incredibly heavy. She couldn't quite describe her feelings, but the opportunity to contact Nash was something she couldn't pass up. She had memorized Nash's number by heart.Soon, she heard Nash's voice on the other end."Have you found Wilfred?" Nash assumed it was Micah.To his surprise, it was Nina's voice that answered, "Have you been in touch with Wilfred?""Yes," Nash replied, astonished but relieved to hear Nina's voice. She sounded strong, not injured.But he wasn't completely reassured.Nina spoke slowly, "I have some ideas, things that work from the inside out."As she spoke, she kept an eye on her surroundings. Micah was not in her line of sight, and Nash's voice sounded in her ear, "Nina, don't act impulsively. This isn't something you should handle. Regarding the Yaren tribe, I've already submitted a reques
Nina remained silent, but she deeply realized that some things and some people were far more complicated than they seemed.Micah spoke softly, "I advise you not to entertain any other ideas. I have something to attend to tonight. If you need anything, contact Joker."Nina still didn't respond. She felt groggy, her mind swirling with Micah's words and fragments of past memories.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, someone covered her mouth. Nina tried to struggle, but the person was too strong and she was no match....Meanwhile, Nash was abruptly awakened."Captain, did you dream about Miss Nina?" James had just walked in and saw Nash's sudden movement.Nash was sweating profusely. He didn't respond, but his silence confirmed it.Nash couldn't wait any longer. He told James, "You take care of the unit. Report anything to the higher-ups. If they want to discipline me, I'll accept it."He wasn't afraid of punishment. He feared for Nina's life.James knew he couldn't sto
That evening, Ivy also sought out Micah. During the banquet to reward the Yaren tribe subordinates, Ivy offered Micah a drink. After he drank it, he immediately began coughing up blood.Ivy's face turned pale with shock. "Brother! What's happening to you?"Micah squinted at Ivy, scanning the crowd as he did so. Everyone looked worried, but the poison in this drink had to have come from someone close to him.Grabbing Ivy's wrist, a cold smile crossed Micah's lips. "What do you think?""Brother, I'm innocent! You're my brother. I would never harm you," Ivy said, her face full of innocence.The Pharaoh also stepped forward. "Micah, you can suspect anyone, but Ivy is your sister.""Is she?" Micah took a step towards the Pharaoh, but before he could say more, he collapsed backward. Ivy caught him.Micah tried to push her away, but his eyelids grew too heavy to keep open. Eventually, he lost consciousness.Micah was carried away, and the Pharaoh ended the evening's banquet.Ivy stay
