Larissa's search in the forest went on for three days. Yet, there was still no sign of Ambrose despite their thorough search. As days went by, gloom gathered deeper inside her.Zayn and Rachel comforted her, saying that it was best that they received no news of Ambrose. He must've been rescued. They had searched the forest thoroughly in the past three days, but they found no signs of larger animals. The clones also mentioned that they didn't see any larger animals.Well, this was some encouraging news. At least Ambrose wasn't dragged away by some ferocious animal.They expanded their search area and finally discovered the traces left by a car.Zayn crouched down, extending his gloved fingers to pick up the soil on the ground and scrutinize it."Judging on these tracks, it should be an off-road vehicle. There must be at least a convoy of three cars," he remarked.After a pause, he exclaimed, "Hmm? Why does it seem like a fight took place here?"Due to the heavy downpour last
Crossing her arms, Larissa said, "They're my men. They won't hurt me."Bob's expression darkened."Missy, you must be mistaken. They work for my boss, and they're my boss' personal assets."She tilted her chin at him and quipped, "Go back and tell your boss that they're all mine now."He stared at her for a while. Suddenly, his face twitched into a sneer."So, you know they're clones?"Larissa remained silent.A malicious glint danced in his eyes as his gaze swept across her gear."Missy, are you here for some fun? I'll tell you what, you can choose to torture one of the clones if you're willing to spend the night with me. How does that sound?"To them, torturing the clones wasn't any different than hunting. They relished in it.Bob leered at Rachel, licking his lips as he jeered, "If this hottie here is willing to spend the night with me too, I can let you take two clones with you."Just then, a swift kick was delivered to Bob. A loud thud was heard as he was flung across t
Lucky ran over to Larissa when she gestured at him. "This guy is the person in charge of the mining area, and he's the leader of the people who have been torturing you all."He's in your hands now. You can do whatever you want to him."Her words ignited the flicker of rage in the clones. Their blood was boiling now.Lucky glared at Bob.Bob shuddered in fear, shrieking, "You said you wouldn't kill me! You didn't keep your promise!"Larissa shrugged and replied, "I said the three of us weren't going to kill you, but I didn't say that the clones weren't going to kill you."Zayn, Rachel, and her spun around, and the clones lunged at Bob immediately. His wails were drowned in chaos, and his terrified face was no longer visible.Not far away, two of Bob's subordinates remained hidden behind a tree. They watched how he died after being attacked by the clones.Their faces paled, and they were trembling in fear. They were part of the group Bob had sent to search for the missing clone
Lucky lunged at Sebastian in an instant.Sebastian's expression darkened. He immediately lifted his hand to block his attack, but Lucky was quicker. The force of his punch sent Sebastian's head snapping to the side.Sebastian was flabbergasted. Before he could snap back to his senses, he heard his subordinates' agonizing screams."The clones have gone nuts! Stop them!""Help me! I don't wanna die!"Sebastian's eyes were blown wide as his gaze swept past them. A few clones charged at him frantically, their eyes glinting with murderous intent. He bellowed, "Fucking clones! You're all nothing but failed lab experiments who harmed us. You should've been killed a long time ago!"In fact, the clones were never meant to live. As failed lab experiments, they were supposed to be destroyed on the spot. Humans should've never allowed them to live, after all.Larissa waved, and all the clones halted their attacks instantly.Sebastian's heart skipped a beat.The clones were disqualified
As the general commander, Larissa didn't lose her composure. Instead, she engaged in guerrilla warfare tactics to gradually eat up their opponent's will to fight.Once most of the Poker group members were eliminated, she led the clones and attacked the village. They took over the village in a whiff.While she interrogated the sub-chief, Lucky patrolled the village with the other clones, acting like he was her most loyal knight.Over these years, the villagers resented the clones and were terrified of them after being brainwashed by the Poker group. After all, they thought they were cannibalistic primitives.Thus, they locked themselves in their houses when they saw the clones roaming freely in the village. They were afraid that they would be attacked by the clones.Clearly, the villagers didn't forget how vicious the clones were when they murdered the Poker group members. Though they hated the members as well, they thought the clones were more horrifying. As time passed, the vil
At the Forbes residence, Seth Forbes said to Talia, "Talia, you're already 25 years old. It's time you think about marriage."Talia bit her lip with a stubborn look on her face. "Dad, I don't want to get married. I don't like any of the blind dates you've arranged for me."She was not the least bit interested in those so-called talented young men.Seth furrowed his brows and sighed. "Talia, you're my only daughter. All I want is for you to be happy."If you don't like the blind dates I've arranged for you. You can still take your time to choose someone you like."However, you certainly cannot like that man with an unknown background!"Upon hearing this, Talia's body stiffened.She raised her head to meet Seth's gaze and replied with a voice full of determination, "I will only marry the man I love in this lifetime. I will not just listen to your orders and marry a random man."Seth's expression darkened. "In the end, you still like that man! He's currently still in a coma. If he
Larissa stroked her chin and said, "It's because a sorcery master once told my boss that if he collaborates with a family from the Southeast area, he'll be able to make a fortune."After doing some research, my boss discovered that the Forbes family just so happens to be in the Southeast. So, he sent me over to take a look."Many wealthy people were particularly superstitious. Hence, Stefan didn't question Larissa's words.With an eager glint in his eyes, Stefan looked at Larissa as if she were easy money."If that's the case, please come in!" Stefan glanced at the two people beside Larissa. "Welcome, ladies!"Yes, Zayn was once again cross-dressing.Stefan couldn't help but think that Joker surely knew how to make an entrance. The people he sent over were all exceptionally beautiful women."Please wait here while I inform Mr. Forbes." Stefan led Larissa, Zayn, and Rachel to the living room and then left.As soon as Stefan left, the three of them exchanged knowing glances and
Right at this moment, Stefan came rushing over."There you are, Ms. Solace. I've been looking everywhere for you!"Stefan glanced at Oliver and gave him a slight nod. "What are you doing here, Mr. Gilbert? Are you here to see Ms. Forbes?"Oliver smiled. "I was indeed here for Ms. Talia, but I'm sure she's unwilling to see me."I happened to run into these beautiful ladies, and we've been hitting it off. Therefore, I've decided not to bother Ms. Forbes anymore."Stefan pursed his lips.Oliver was such a player. It was a good thing Talia held no interest in him!Stefan couldn't be bothered to deal with such a shallow man like Oliver.He turned toward Larissa and said with a smile, "Ms. Solace, Mr. Forbes has agreed to see you. Please come with me."Larissa nodded. "Sure."Larissa shot Rachel and Zayn a knowing look and then went off with Stefan.Zayn stayed back to try to worm facts out of Oliver, while Rachel went off to gather information on her own.Just as Larissa was on
Ambrose faced his back to Larissa.She tried to conceal her grievance and anger, shouting, "Aren't you leaving? Leave then!"He kept his back to her, not daring to turn around.Despite her efforts to suppress her emotions, he detected a touch of grief in her voice.Ambrose was frightened of turning around and seeing her tears.As long as he saw those eyes, he would be unable to resist the temptation to be selfish once again, to stay by her side at all costs.He gradually tightened his gloved hands.No. He couldn't be so selfish. He had become a monster, unworthy of her!He wanted to escape, hide, and not let Larissa see his monster appearance. However, he couldn't move at all. His feet stubbornly stayed in place, as if rooted.She walked up to him. She stared attentively at him for a moment before slowly reaching out to hold his hand.Just as her fingertips were about to touch his hand, Ambrose suddenly returned to his senses.Damn it! What was he doing? How could he let Lar
Max's treatment of external injuries was professional.He gently patted the wolf cub's head and said, "Bye."The wolf cub's eyes were full of gratitude. It looked at the humans deeply before running away without looking back.Larissa and her team continued to search for traces of the werewolf in Northernmost.However, they didn't find any useful clues. Max couldn't help but ask, "Madam, do you think there would be werewolves here?"She replied, "Although Jackie lied about the wolf cub, I believe he saw something real. No matter what, I'll find him, even if we have to turn Northernmost upside down!"On a mountain several miles away, a tall figure stood against the wind. He stood firm amidst the snowy landscape like a sturdy tree.The wolf cub approached him and affectionately rubbed against his trousers. He lowered his head, giving it a faint glance. "Little fool, don't get caught in human traps again."His tone was stern, with a hint of teaching. The wolf cub lowered its head i
There were no cameras in the hotel room, but there were in the corridor.In a fleeting moment, Larissa finally noticed something wrong.She rewinded the video and played it back slowly several times. Finally, she confirmed what she had seen.She slumped into the chair, completely lost.She knew that something must have happened to Ambrose.Although the footage got grainy right away, Larissa still saw it—Ambrose's hand had undergone some sort of transformation.What on earth had happened? She must find him as soon as possible!Everything was fine last night. Ambrose set off fireworks for her and even used drones to write his vow in the sky.He had done so many romantic things for her. Why did he change overnight? What was wrong with his hand?Larissa's mind was in chaos, unable to make sense of anything. After thinking for a moment, she called Max."Max, send a ship to pick me up... No, send me a helicopter. I have to go back right away."After returning, she immediately aske
Ambrose's pupils shrank.His right hand had completely transformed into the shape of a wolf claw.The mutation continued to spread up his arm, resulting in a thick layer of wolf fur.Dawn was approaching. A faint light shone on the horizon. The distant sea was tumultuous with no end in sight.Ambrose stood on the balcony, his black hair fluttering in the sea breeze.He cautiously lifted his right hand. At this moment, his hand could no longer be called a hand.From his fingertips to his arm, it had fully transformed into a wolf's paw. Even more terrifyingly, the mutation was still spreading toward his shoulder.His time was running out.Ambrose stared at his right hand intently for a long time. Until the cold air covered his long eyelashes with a layer of frost, he put on his gloves again, hiding the mutated hand.He returned to the bedroom, where Larissa remained asleep. She appeared to be having a beautiful dream, smiling as she slept.Ambrose sat down by the bed, gazing at
Larissa didn't notice Ambrose's abnormality. She thought he was preparing a surprise for her."Then hurry up, Mister!" She tiptoed and kissed his face before running out with a smile.His gentle smile disappeared after she left.Ambrose stared at his mutated right hand, his expression gradually darkening.He didn't want to appear so hideous in front of Larissa. So, he put on a pair of black gloves, intending to hide it from her.Larissa waited outside, kicking the ground with boredom. After a while, Ambrose came out."Mister!" Larissa dashed for him like a lively bird.He hugged her as he had done countless times before. She hooked her arm around his, and they walked out together.When the restaurant doors slowly opened, Larissa noticed the pink rose petals scattered all over the floor.It was so beautiful!It was evident that Ambrose attached great importance to their wedding anniversary tonight.She stared at his strikingly gorgeous profile. He turned and showed her a doti
A week later, Birdie awoke.She burst into tears upon seeing Larissa. "Ms. Larissa, those people beat me so badly! I thought I'd never see you again!"Larissa tenderly hugged Birdie and patted her back to comfort her. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. I've already avenged you."Vincent stood nearby. He tightly pursed his lips, believing that the punishments meted out to those people were too light.After Birdie had stopped crying, she looked at him and asked, "Vince, why are you still so short?"He felt like he'd been struck by lightning.Birdie was a year older than Vincent. Girls at this age tended to be taller than boys, causing Vincent to be a head shorter than Birdie.He pursed his lips and quietly put away the small cakes he had prepared for her. It took him a lot of effort to snatch it from Victor.Even if he gave it back to Victor, he wouldn't give it to the ungrateful Birdie!Larissa could tell Vincent's thoughts and nearly came out laughing. She barely managed to hold
Larissa observed Fernando, feeling increasingly familiar with his appearance."Hmm... aren't you the guy who owes me a hundred thousand dollars in medical expenses? Have your injuries healed?"It was simple for a person to leave a lasting impression on her. He only needed to owe her money.When Fernando heard the familiar voice, he finally confirmed she was the one who saved him."It's me. I'm really sorry..."He didn't hide anything and confessed all of his wrongdoings. After speaking, he nervously waited.Larissa might criticize him harshly, hit him, or even trample on his dignity as Nayla did. Everything was his fault. He was willing to face the consequences.But...She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're quite skilled, huh?""Uh..." Fernando didn't expect her to ask such a question out of the blue. He paused for a moment before nodding.Larissa waved. "Join the Hamiltons as a bodyguard then! If you perform well during the three-year testing period, we'll pro
As the Daltons' men surrounded Max, Nayla managed to flee."Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and glanced at Fernando. "Since you didn't join Nayla in harming Ms. Zoey, I'll let you go. You may leave!"However, Fernando didn't do so. He seemed to have made a certain determination and bent toward Max. "Please allow me to stay by Ms. Zoey's side. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her."Max squinted. "Do you think I'll still believe you?"Fernando remained bent over. It was a posture of persistence rather than reverence. "I won't give up even if you disagree.""Whatever!" Max turned around indifferently and led the Hamiltons' guards away.Fernando soon straightened up. He appeared resolute. Even if Max barred him from entering the Hamilton residence again, he would silently protect Zoey....Nayla stitched up her face at the Dalton residence, her hands trembling violently."Damn it!" She let out a shrill roar and hurled the needle holder violently to the ground.H
Fernando became more certain of the truth when he saw Nayla's panicked expression."Do you want me to believe you? Then show me how you used the silver needles to save me.""I—" Nayla bit her lip tightly. "You hurt me, Fernando. Have you forgotten that I saved your life? You promised to repay me. How could you doubt me?"He returned to his former coldness and stepped closer to her."You're not the one I owe gratitude to. When I was severely injured and unconscious, I couldn't see who had saved me. I'd even forgotten her voice. Fortunately, I've recalled it. Or I'd have no idea how much longer you'd deceive me!"During this period, the humiliations he had endured from Nayla were vivid and echoed in his mind.He had also doubted how a kind woman who would help a stranger could become so cruel.Nayla explained that her parents had abandoned her since birth. Larissa had also caused the death of her grandmother, who had raised her.After returning to her biological family, Larissa r
