Louisa was stunned and slowly put down her hands as Adrian's words echoed in her ears. Finally, she lowered her guard completely.

Adrian walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Ivy hasn't given up hope, even now, Louisa, and you shouldn’t either. I'll get you out of here, I'll take you home so that you can pay your respects at your parents' graves. I'll take you back to your hometown so that you can reunite with your relatives and neighbors. All you have to do is trust me.

"One more thing, we need to fight for all those things."

Louisa looked up in a daze after listening to Adrian's words. She silently gazed at him before asking, "Is it true? Can I really go home? It's been more than ten years now, and I really miss home. Can you really take me home?" Her tears streamed down her face.

Adrian nodded in all seriousness. "Yes, I can. Not only can you go home, but you can also fall in love like the others, put on a white wedding dress, and form a family of your own."

    "Why does she want the bertrandium?" Adrian asked."I'm not sure, but there’s no doubt it’s extremely important to her. In fact, every single person left behind here in Bloody Rose is just a sacrifice who had zero value to her."Plus, I heard that Bloody Rose's headquarters had already moved elsewhere a long time ago, and the people here are all meant to be her sacrificial pawns."Louisa had been staying there for many years, so she would sometimes hear pieces of gossip.Adrian replied, "Are you saying that Eternity has people transporting the bertrandium through this secret passage?"Louisa nodded. "Yes, they're transporting it. The entrance to that secret passage is three levels beneath that entrance, and I know how we can get there.""We don't have to go there. I need you to get me to Eternity. I'll make arrangements for the rest."After that, he spoke through his communicator again. "Gale, scan the area and find an exit through the underground. It should be somewhere close t

    ‘Looks like she expected us to make our move.'At that moment, all of Eternity's actions showed she was planning on discarding the stronghold. On top of that, she wanted Adrian and the others who entered to be buried beneath its explosion.When Louisa heard the news, she anxiously yelled, "We need to gather everyone! Eternity must be planning on blowing up this place the moment they leave. I'm sure they're moving through the secret passage right now."Adrian frowned. 'She's a rather formidable character to have made it this far. However, she’s about to lose if she has made such a move.'At that thought, he said, "Ivy, Eira, get everyone out of here now! We'll meet them at Seatum.""Yes, sir!""Retreat!"Adrian turned around and said, "We should get out of here too, Louisa. Eternity has made this a lot easier for us by doing as such."After that, he brought Louisa out of there at once, while Ivy, Eira, and the other women made their hasty retreat as well. Everyone managed to get

    Max immediately got ready upon receiving his orders.Still confused, Ivy asked, "Don't you think it's bad to celebrate a victory you haven't won yet, Adrian? Are we really ending the mission when we haven't saved anyone yet?"Adrian remained silent.Meanwhile, Gloria smiled and said, "The battlefield is always changing, and there will be times when even the best-laid plans may change at any given moment. And every time there is change, there's a chance the entire battle may end."According to our original plan, it’d be extremely difficult for us to succeed if Bloody Rose chose to fight to the bitter end. However, Eternity has chosen to abandon the stronghold and leave, which means we can end all of this."Ivy and Eira exchanged looks, still confused about what was going on.Gloria smiled. "You'll understand in a moment."The two women shook their heads and stopped asking questions.***Meanwhile, on the third underground level of Bloody Rose, were people moving around through

    The entire passage was hit by a series of earthquakes thanks to the continuous explosions from the surface. The team transporting the bertrandium picked up the pace as their transports were rushing to get to the other end of the passage.Aside from that, a group of women was following the team of killers toward the end of the passage in confusion. They were all nurtured by Bloody Rose to become killers, and their lives had been confined to this place a long time ago."Hurry up! Pick up the pace!" someone inside the passage yelled.The higher-ranking personnel within Bloody Rose got into their vehicles, while the killers, who were the lowest-ranking, were on foot and being urged to move faster. Of course, Eternity herself had gotten in a vehicle with a few of Bloody Rose’s directors."What the hell is up with Draco? There's no way Wyvern Peak would attack if they knew he was in here."One of the directors said, "I don't think he's up there. What we should focus on right now is gett

    The other women wiped away their tears, feeling extremely helpless.Another woman asked, "Do you think War Legate Draco will kill us when he gets here? What's Eternity planning? Do you think she's going to force us to fight Wyvern Peak later?""I don't know." Helen shook her head. "But, in any case, we should all play it by ear no matter what happens later. Take care of yourselves and don't give up hope.” She tried to motivate them with her words.The women took a deep breath and continued running despite how exhausted they were. If they stop running, the bertrandium-loaded cargo trucks would run them over without hesitation.Bloody Rose was making a full retreat, while Eternity sat in her vehicle, still seeming as cold and prestigious as ever. She turned around to look at the darkness behind her and unconsciously clenched her fists. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'm going to kill you for ruining my plans multiple times, War Legate Draco!”"Move!""Faster!"Bloody Rose continue

    Helen, who was running through the secret passage, was carrying a small communication device on her. It made a beeping noise as a link was established. She had secretly snuck that communicator out with her when she left.Usually, Bloody Rose would only hand them these communicators when they went out on missions. Thus, these communicators were extremely important to Bloody Rose's headquarters.Helen frowned when she saw her communicator flashing, having no idea who was trying to contact her. When she turned around and saw that nobody was paying attention to her, she picked up the call."Hello?" Helen whispered.Meanwhile, at Wyvern Peak…The operator said, "We're connected, sir."Adrian walked toward him immediately and said, "Hello."When Helen heard the voice, she whispered, "Who are you?""I'm War Legate Draco of Wyvern Peak, and I'm speaking to you from Wyvern Peak. I'm here to save you all."Helen was instantly shocked when she heard this, and her expression changed drast

    "Helen's going to get us out of here.""Keep a low profile and follow everything Helen tells you later."Thus, all of the women to be saved were informed of the plan without anyone else noticing. Every single one of them remained silent as they ran for the exit. Behind them, Eternity and a few of Bloody Rose's directors were in their vehicles.At that moment, Eternity said, "Inform the people on the boats to ready their weapons and kill anyone who dares to try and escape.""Don't worry, everything’s already prepared. None of them will try to escape. They wouldn't dare to try even if you gave them the chance."Eternity nodded.As they got closer and closer to the exit, they could see the lights coming from the boats docked at Seatum. There were about another two hundred meters to cover before they got to the exit."Tell everyone to get ready to run toward the mountains in the east as soon as they leave the passage, the faster the better. Someone will be there to pick us up!" Hele

    The deafening blast crumbled the entire exit, trapping Eternity and the others within.A ball of flame rose up into the starry night sky.Helen and the others slowly came to a spot upon hearing the series of explosions. They turned around and saw that all six boats had been sunk while Eternity and the others were buried inside the secret passage.At that moment, all of them felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably as their vision blurred.'We're free!'Never in their lives had they ever dreamt of the day when they would regain their freedoms."Helen, is Eternity really dead? We've made it out… We've made it out!" A woman standing next to Helen was unable to contain her excitement.Helen pursed her lips, her eyes moist with tears. However, she did not dare linger for too long and waved. "Sisters, get to the mountains. We can’t stay in case something else happens.""Got it!"The women excitedly ran toward the mountains.In less than ten minutes after Helen and her sisters enter

    Edgar was determined to annihilate Adrian, and so he charged up his attack once again. The ground quaked, and towering trees fell one after another.Adrian’s eyes glinted coldly as he watched the scene unfold. He understood exactly what was happening and knew there would be no peace until one of them was defeated.Filled with a bloodthirsty desire, Edgar wanted nothing more than to kill Adrian. Adrian’s face darkened as he prepared to meet him with equal ruthlessness.At that moment, Edgar finally finished charging his attack and rushed forward. His sword transformed into countless blades that sliced through the air with devastating force.Adrian sneered. "Oh? So, you do have some skills, but I still advise you to surrender."Hearing this, Edgar's face twisted in anger. Adrian's remark felt like a blatant insult as if he was looking down on him."I’m going to destroy you!" Edgar swung his sword from an unexpected angle, aiming to break through Adrian’s defenses.Adrian sneered an

    Adrian spoke calmly as he led Renee swiftly onward. He had no intention of lingering here. His destination lay elsewhere, and he didn’t want to waste time.As for the man pursuing them, Adrian had already gauged his abilities from his sword techniques. At most, Edgar had some skill, but Adrian was confident he could overpower Edgar in swordsmanship.Edgar, fuming with rage, shouted, “I don’t believe it! Are you some kind of sword expert?”Edgar’s attacks grew even more ferocious, his swordsmanship wild and fierce, as he charged forward. He was determined to end Adrian’s life here and now. Being known for his swordsmanship, Edgar could not tolerate being treated with such disdain. His heart burned with fury and unwillingness.Adrian glanced back dismissively and said, “I already told you, your swordsmanship is child’s play. Yet you refuse to believe it. How pitiful.”Edgar was nearly driven mad with rage. He had honed his swordsmanship for years, yet Adrian mocked it as child’s pla

    “I can sense your strength. It’s decent, but you’re not qualified to fight me. This isn’t something you should get involved with," Edgar threatened, looking down on Adrian.Adrian’s expression turned icy as he retorted, “Is that so? I suggest you leave now. While you may have some strength, you’re not capable of swimming in my muddy waters.”Adrian was using Edgar’s own words against him, and Edgar’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected such resistance while trying to assassinate the princess.“Haha, boy, did you take care of that assassin group? It seems you have some skills, but you’ve made the wrong enemies. I advise you to step back before it’s too late,” Edgar said, visibly irritated.The assassins he had sent out hadn’t reported back. It seemed that Adrian had dealt with them. Otherwise, where could they have disappeared to?Adrian smirked. “I’ve already told you, you’re not qualified. Leave now. I don’t enjoy wasting my breath.”Adrian’s dismissive tone was almost like giving

    Renee hadn’t expected their pursuers to catch up with them so quickly. It was much faster than she had imagined.Adrian’s expression darkened. He hadn’t anticipated that these people would return so soon. Who exactly had Renee offended? It was clear that their attackers were no ordinary group, and their strength was not to be underestimated.Adrian could sense that the opponent’s power was nearly equal to his own. He looked into the distance and said, “If they won’t show themselves, then let’s go.”With that, Adrian grabbed Renee and sped forward. Renee felt her body was completely out of her control as Adrian pulled her along at a breakneck pace, moving with incredible speed. It was as if Adrian were carrying a small chick. He moved swiftly with Renee in tow.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The sound of projectiles slicing through the air reached their ears again. Adrian, carrying Renee, dashed deeper into the forest, evading the incoming hidden weapons. Behind them, a shadowy figure pur

    If Adrian could return to his original world, he could use the methods discovered in this one to eradicate the daemons there. Once that was done, everything would be resolved.The thought filled Adrian with a chilling satisfaction as he recalled the detestable daemons. Had it not been for the daemons, he wouldn’t have ended up lost in this world, nor would he have disappeared. Now, his primary task was to thoroughly investigate everything and uncover the secrets needed to destroy them.Renee, hearing Adrian’s words, felt a bit helpless. She realized that Adrian had likely planned everything out well in advance. Regardless, returning to Ciawales was her only option. Without Adrian by her side, she would not be strong enough to get back.With no other choice, Renee led the way, moving swiftly alongside Adrian. Within moments, they had traveled over a thousand meters. Time passed slowly, and as they continued onward, the sky gradually brightened. It seemed they had finally exited the d

    Adrian’s gaze sharpened, his expression icy. The situation seemed far from simple. He realized that he needed to better understand this world. If the daemons truly existed here, it might hold similarities to his own underwater world. Perhaps, the secrets of this place could provide a way to break through the obstacles he faced.Adrian suddenly thought that his arrival in this world might have something to do with the presence of the daemons. If this world contained a method to eliminate the daemons, then maybe, just maybe, he could use it to destroy the daemons back in his world.This thought filled Adrian with a surge of excitement. He looked at Renee and asked, “What was the name of that Emperor Supreme?”Renee sighed with a hint of helplessness. “The Emperor Supreme was immensely powerful, an unparalleled figure since ancient times. No one really knows his true name. He is simply referred to as ‘Emperor Supreme,’ a title of reverence given to the most powerful beings in the Spiri

    "Let’s set off then. The journey should take a few days," Adrian said, his gaze sharp and decisive. From his expression, it was clear he had everything planned out.Everything was falling into place for Adrian. He was well aware of his unfamiliarity with this world, so it was crucial for him to learn about it quickly. Renee, being a princess of the empire, had an in-depth understanding of the world. Having her as his guide was the perfect choice in his opinion. Although Renee was clearly reluctant, she had no choice in the matter. He needed a guide, and she fit the role.Renee felt helpless at Adrian’s demands but couldn’t find the right words to respond. Adrian was too shrewd, and his strength was far from ordinary. His incredible power left her wondering just how he had cultivated to such a level. Knowing the extent of his strength, she understood that trying to fight him was impossible. She had no choice but to comply.Looking at Adrian, Renee said, “If we head in this direction,

    Adrian was blatantly threatening her. It was clear he would subject her to torment and death if she didn’t agree to his terms. How could such a person be described as reasonable?Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch Adrian and show him her strength.Adrian simply looked at her calmly. “There’s no need to resent me. I’m actually quite agreeable. When things can be resolved, I try to resolve them. As for you, rest assured. During your month of servitude, I won’t make you serve in vain. You’re the princess of Ciawales, correct? It just so happens I have some free time. Let’s head there together.“Also, tell me about the customs and cultures of this world. I’ve been in secluded training for many years and have forgotten much about the outside world,” he lied.Renee was taken aback. Adrian didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be some kind of reclusive expert? His words only left her more puzzled.“How am I supposed to introduce it? Are you not from this world?”

    Was Adrian looking for praise? Renee couldn’t help but feel a bit exasperated. She wasn’t sure what Adrian was trying to convey. All his words seemed to point to one thing—that he was her savior, and now she owed him her obedience.To Renee, this was a difficult pill to swallow. After all, she was a princess, and Adrian’s implication was that she should lower herself to him. But under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.Though she felt deeply unwilling, Renee could only grit her teeth and respond calmly, “Yes, you saved me. I’m deeply grateful. I promise to repay your kindness when I get the chance.” She locked eyes with Adrian, waiting for his reaction. If Adrian wasn’t satisfied, she truly didn’t know what to do. The valuable items she possessed were limited, consisting mostly of a few life-saving treasures. Beyond that, there wasn’t much on her that was of worth.Adrian, however, narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “Just a few words of thanks? Do y
