Thinking of her master, Alia’s expression turned slightly serious. She glanced at her watch. It was still early, and the sky hadn’t completely darkened. Resolving to use this opportunity, she decided to investigate Eryx’s house. Perhaps it would yield some clues about him.

Before leaving, she set the next meeting place with the gang of street thugs, her tone calm yet unyielding. “I’ll come back from time to time to see if you have new information. Right here. The more you have, the better the rewards. But don’t waste my time.” They quickly nodded in agreement.

Turning to Red, Alia asked, “Do you know where The General of the Second Army Group Eryx lives?”

Red hesitated briefly but wisely refrained from asking why Alia wanted to know. Instead, he directly pointed her in the right direction.

“The place isn’t heavily guarded,” Red cautioned, “but there are patrolling soldiers nearby. If you’re just observing from outside, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Alia glanced at Red, choosing not to e

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 374 — Sowing Discord

    “What is going on here?”Edgar’s voice rolled across the clearing—deep, steady, carrying the weight of authority—yet even he could not entirely hide the faint strain sharpening its edges.The slanted shaft of light cut through drifting dust, and every pair of eyes fixed on the man trapped behind the newly fallen stone barrier.Then Jim suddenly raised his voice, loud enough to echo inside the narrow space, as if he had grabbed onto his last lifeline.“Boss, my cover’s blown! You have to tell your daughter—we’re on the same side!”His shout was like a boulder thrown into a perfectly still lake.Expressions changed instantly.Especially—Eryx.His face drained of color, then flushed a violent blue-red within a heartbeat, as if someone had slapped him in front of the entire world.As for Edgar?He didn’t flinch.Not even a pause in his breathing.It was as if he had foreseen every possible twist, had rehearsed every answer, and was now merely watching a play unfold exactly as predicted.

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 373 – Reunion

    In truth, the reason Elias was able to pinpoint, among countless possibilities, that David was in fact Jim—was far from coincidence.It was because Emma knew Jim too well.Uncomfortably well.Whether it was the subtle way he habitually concealed his breathing, the faint rhythm change hidden in his tone when he spoke, the unconscious distribution of weight in his stance, or the minuscule shift of his gaze whenever he surveyed his surroundings—these were details impossible to detect unless one had truly crossed blades with Jim for years, or been close enough to study the tiniest fracture in his mask.Thus, when Elias had already narrowed the pool of suspects, Emma used her intimate familiarity with Jim to eliminate the impossible one by one—until, within merely a few hours after arriving on the island today, through several nearly invisible behavioral clues, she finally confirmed with absolute, unshakable certainty:David was Jim in disguise.And the trap set at the cave entrance—the

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 372 – Reinforcements: Emma!

    Jim’s voice emerged from the shadows of the cave, low, deep, and mysterious, carrying a subtle but unmistakable hint of disdain, almost like a soft blade of arrogance sliding across the air.“Actually… you don’t need to literally say a wish to the Holy Grail itself. You see, as long as your inner desire, your personal, burning, all-consuming wish, is strong enough, the Grail will sense it naturally when you approach it. It doesn’t analyze or judge the consequences of your wish, it doesn’t ponder whether your desire will bring chaos or peace—it simply responds. But the stronger your desire, the more certain it is to manifest into reality.”As soon as the last word left his lips, the air seemed to thicken and freeze.Elias and Alia both instinctively halted, their breaths caught, brows furrowed in concentration, their minds processing Jim’s confirmation of the rules they had only glimpsed in the old diary.Even though they had studied the mysterious rules and known fragments of the Grai

    “You’re not afraid? Once everyone gets here, you won’t be able to run.”Elias’s voice grew colder, as if he were building a wall across the cave entrance with nothing but words.The sealed cavern was unnervingly silent, the air thick with a damp, metallic taste that clung to the throat.Yet Jim inside remained maddeningly relaxed—so at ease it made one’s skin crawl.“I told you already.”Jim chuckled.The sound slid against the stone surface as it escaped, like a cold serpent tracing along the wall.“Think carefully about whose man I am. When the others arrive… how many of them will help me? And how many will help you?”The words fell like pebbles into still water—and the ripples were impossible to ignore.Elias and Alia kept their faces steady, but Jim’s words struck exactly at the weakness they shared:the hints in the diary,Edgar’s obsession,those inexplicable moments of trust and strangeness…If Edgar truly was Jim’s real master—then everything finally made sense.Silence fell

    “Not necessarily.”From the darkness deep inside the cave, Jim’s voice was low and steady, carrying a chilling confidence—as though even the stone walls turned cold at his tone.“The last fragment is still in my hands.”Elias didn’t yield an inch. His reply was laced with a bone-deep, contemptuous sneer.“We’re in no hurry. You can starve in there as long as you like. Once you’re dead, we’ll just dig the fragment out of your corpse.”The moment the words landed, the air tightened—drawn taut like a string ready to snap.Jim went silent for a heartbeat.Then—suddenly—he burst into wild laughter.The sound ricocheted off the sealed stone slab again and again, filled with mockery, sarcasm, and a hint of frenzy from being forced into a corner.“Hahaha! If you really believe that, I’ll have to take back everything good I ever thought about you—you’re an absolute idiot!”His laughter cut off, and his voice turned razor-sharp, like a blade skimming across bare skin.“Everyone on this island c

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 369 – David? Jim!

    ⸻“Th—this is…?”Alia instinctively stepped back, nearly stumbling. Her voice trembled with disbelief as she stared at the cave entrance buried under the massive stone slab. Her heart hammered violently against her ribs, as if trying to break free.Elias remained composed, unaffected by her shock. His voice was low, carrying the sharpness of someone tearing open a truth hidden for years.“David… although he is your father Edgar’s most trusted aide, his other identity is far more astonishing.”The words were like a dull blade, slicing through a long-maintained disguise, layer by layer.Alia’s mind raced.Loose fragments of information connected themselves at impossible speed—that flash in David’s eyes earlier, the vague oddities in his relationship with her father, Jim’s behavior on the island, the way the cup handle was buried—All of it suddenly snapped together into one inescapable possibility.She blurted out, almost screaming:“—Jim?!”Elias lifted his eyes toward her, as if ackn
