Reuben began organizing the documents on the desk upon entering the office.

After sorting them, he took shots of the important ones, intending to send them to Evan later in the night.

As he neared completion, a knock on the office door interrupted him. Without lifting his head, Reuben said, "Come in."

The door opened, revealing a man in sunglasses.

"Mr. Murphy, is Mr. Jordan ready? We should set off now," the man stated.

In response, both Reuben and Julian looked up.

Reuben's expression shifted instantly upon recognizing the helicopter's pilot. "Aren't you supposed to be in the helicopter?"

The pilot frowned and asked, "Didn't I text you that I was in the washroom?"

Reuben checked his pocket while Julian pointed out, "Your phone is on the coffee table."

"Call Mr. Jordan now!" Reuben exclaimed.

Julian promptly made the call, but Evan's phone was off.

Distraught, Reuben collapsed on the chair and lamented, "We're screwed. We've protected him so well, but someone still managed

    When the pilot moved to grab Evan's collar, Evan ceased keeping his phone in his pocket and delivered a powerful punch to the pilot's face. The pilot absorbed the blow head-on, caught off guard by Evan's sudden attack. Grimacing in pain, he took two steps back.The pilot laughed sarcastically and stared at the stony-faced Evan. "Ha! I didn't expect you to have a trick or two up your sleeves."Evan rose to his feet. He advanced toward the pilot as the strong wind from the opened cabin door whipped his black windbreaker manically, creating an intimidating, almost demonic appearance that frightened onlookers."Who ordered you to do this?" Evan demanded fiercely.The pilot wiped away a bloodstain from his lips, clenched his fists, and chuckled hideously. "Wait till you defeat me if you really want to know!"Despite lacking physical strength, the pilot's attacks were ferocious and rough, nearly connecting with Evan several times. In the confined cabin, with the imminent threat of fal

She couldn't pinpoint the origin of this feeling, but it was as if she had lost something crucial, suffocating her with intense pain.Greta was near the door and heard a soft, ticking sound emanating from the machine in the ward.

She immediately dashed to the nurses' desk to seek help.A nurse swiftly called a doctor to address Caroline's situation.Approximately ten minutes later, the doctor emerged from the ward.

    The rescue team promptly brought the corpse to the riverbank, where Thomas and Yuliana could identify the body.Upon seeing the swollen and disfigured corpse, they were rendered speechless.The only recognizable feature was its short, blond hair.Overwhelmed by nausea, Yulia collapsed on the ground and suppressed the urge to retch.She covered her lips tightly, watching in disbelief as Kenny lay there silently.Tears followed after that.A police officer approached and asked, "Do you know the deceased?"Thomas, saddened, closed his eyes and nodded in a trance. "Yes… He was a friend of my nephew.""What is his name?"Thomas inhaled deeply, and his voice shook. "All I know is that he came from abroad and was called… Kenny."The police officer sighed. "My rescue team is still searching for Neil's body in the river. We may expand our search area, but it may take some time. Please go back and wait.""What do you mean you can't find him quickly?" A voice interjected.All eyes tur

    Reuben sternly interrupted Julian. "Mr. Jordan will be fine!""Yeah, I said the wrong thing," Julian admitted.-After leaving the company, they quickly rushed to the scene.Upon arrival, Reuben immediately engaged with the inspector."Hello, have you found any remnants of the helicopter?" he asked."Do you guys know the people on the helicopter?"In response, Julian hurriedly explained, "We're family.""It's like this. We're very lucky to find the black box. Go over there and take a look."Following a brief exchange of glances, Reuben and Julian swiftly moved to inspect the black box.Upon locating the detective, Reuben greeted him, saying, "We're the family of the victims of this plane crash. May I ask if the black box is safe?""We're going back to the police station to check it out. Come with us if you're family," the detective replied.-Half an hour later, the detective brought Reuben and Julian back to the police station.The technical department promptly commenced

    Liora hugged Caroline's arms and cried, "Mommy... Sob, sob... Mommy..." All her words ended up in her endless calls for her mother.Bitterness washed over Caroline as tears fell."There, there, Lia. I'm okay, aren't I?" Liora cried even more vehemently when she heard that.Confused, Caroline frowned and looked at Greta nearby, who stood there in a trance.Greta's eyes were red and swollen, and she had lost her past charms. The dark circles underneath her eyes and her pale face expressed her exhaustion.Caroline softly called out, "Aunt Greta?"Greta didn't react.Caroline repeated herself. "Aunt Greta?"Greta heard her this time. She turned and looked at Caroline before wiping away her tears and going over. "Yes, Carol. I'm here. Are you feeling okay? Should I get the doctor for you?"Caroline shook her head and knitted her brows. "Something's wrong with your mood, Aunt Greta. Did something happen?"Greta pursed her lips tight and didn't want to say much.Caroline guessed so

    Caroline raised her head, fixing her red eyes on Scott. "What do you want, Scott?"Scott intended to assist Caroline in lying down again, but she swatted his hand away, rejecting his touch.Consequently, the warmth in Scott's eyes gradually diminished. "Lay down if you want to know what happened."Gritting her teeth, Caroline asserted, "I can lie down on my own, but I want you to explain everything clearly.""Okay," Scott agreed gently.Once Caroline had reclined, Scott said, "You want to know about Neil and Kenny, right?""Yes!" Caroline spoke with determination."I haven't been to the scene yet, but they should be dead."Hearing that, Caroline tensed. She stared at Scott in disbelief, narrowing her eyes."You..." Her voice was hoarse. "W-What did you say?!"Scott patiently explained, "I said they should be dead.""What do you mean they're dead?" Caroline's eyes narrowed, and she lost control, yelling, "What nonsense are you talking about, Scott?!""Calm down, Carol." Scot

    The helicopter crashed with Evan on board? And he was dead?No, Caroline didn't believe Scott.Caroline shook her head vigorously and exclaimed, "Stop lying to me! I won't believe you. I'm sure you want to ruin me and make Evan sad. Besides, Neil and Kenny are okay. It's all just your made-up lie!"Knowing Caroline wouldn't believe him, he calmly took Caroline's phone from the bedside cabinet."You can make calls to seek confirmation," Scott suggested indifferently.Spotting her phone, Caroline quickly grabbed it to call Reuben.She knew everything was a lie.While searching for Reuben's contact, Caroline couldn't find it due to her anxiety, and tears flowed uncontrollably.Desperate, she finally found Reuben's contact when she had almost exhausted her patience.She could feel her terror and uneasiness.After a while, Reuben answered the call."Ms. Shenton…" He sounded gloomy.Caroline's heart was left hanging in suspense. "Reuben, where's Evan?"Reuben was silent.Caroli

    Scott gently touched his burning cheek and spoke gradually. "You shouldn't have slapped me, Carol."Caroline's wound was torn, and blood continued to soak her clothes. Yet, she let it bleed down her skin as if she didn't feel the pain."I shouldn't?" Caroline laughed through her tears, her eyes now scarlet. She screamed, "I wish I could kill you!"Scott gazed at Caroline's bloodstained clothes and unconsciously frowned."Go ahead and kill me if you can, Carol, but shouldn't you rest now, huh?" Scott asked."Don't say my name! You disgust me!"Holding back her disgust, she desperately said, "I've known you for eight years, Scott! But I didn't expect you to be a bastard! A f*cking bastard!"My mother and Lily didn't do anything wrong. The same goes for Kenny and Neil. And what has Evan done wrongly? What about me? Did I do anything wrong? Why... Why do you have to do this? Tell me why!"As Caroline's face turned from pale to livid red, Scott slowly suppressed his smile."I'll te

    Reese winced in pain. "Alright, ma'am. I guess I can read your mind? Be gentle!"Liora relaxed her grip at last. "Right, when are we going to that place you mentioned previously?""There's no rush. Your body isn't up for constant actions now. What if you get hurt by those harmful spirits again? I've already committed myself to you out of guilt. If it happens again, I won't have anything else to offer."Liora chuckled. "You make it sound like I'm desperate for your compensation.""What's wrong with that? I'm a strong, handsome man, and everyone loves me!" said Reese, displeased.Liora was astounded by his narcissism.She took a deep breath and said, "Reese.""Hmm?"Liora said, "In truth, I'm not the best choice to be your partner because of my profession. Those spirits may bother me from time to time. I'm the complete opposite of Isaac because of my negative physique.""What happens when you have a negative physique?""Spirits will be drawn to bother me and might cause me a lo

    Reese and Isaac couldn't perceive the spirit, but they witnessed a dark mist dissipating before them.Isaac asked in astonishment, "What's happening, Lia?"Liora turned and answered, "The female spirit didn't want to move on, so her soul has been dissolved.""Dissolved? Do you mean her soul has been destroyed?" asked Reese. Liora nodded and looked around. "Uncle Kenny, please help me find the six spirits."Kenny took on the task and brought those fearful spirits in just a few minutes. Liora asked, "Do you want to choose the same option as her or come with me to Cross Chapel?""Cross Chapel!""We would have left long ago if we weren't trapped here by her threats!""She wouldn't let us go even in death. Aren't our lives worth anything?"After Fiery Red was gone, these spirits began to complain in anger.Liora was infuriated by their complaints. "How dare you criticize her! She may be responsible for your deaths, but what about you then? Do you think you bear no responsibil

    "That's easy for you to say! Those who caused my death may have become spirits, but I still want to stop them from moving on!" Fiery Red barked. Liora frowned. "So, you're implying that those six students caused your death?""Why would I kill them otherwise?"Liora said, "It's time to let them go now that they've faced your revenge. Keeping them trapped is like trapping yourself. Why bother?""Allowing them to move on is letting them off too lightly!" Fiery Red roared. Liora said, "Your obsession is too strong and is keeping you trapped here. You're constantly hurting yourself with painful memories. If you move on properly, it will be a kind of liberation from your past.""Don't preach to me! I'll make it simple for you. It's either you die or my soul gets destroyed!" Fiery Red snapped. She was about to attack Liora just as she finished her sentence. Liora was planning to call out to Isaac when a figure suddenly showed up. Kenny rushed over and blasted away Fiery Red."Y

    Tyler did not comment further upon hearing Liora's reply. In the evening, Isaac returned home from school to find Liora already there. He hurried over, brimming with excitement. "You're back, Lia! How are you feeling? Have you recovered from your injuries?"Isaac's smile stretched from ear to ear.Liora glanced at Isaac meaningfully and said, "Please do me a favor tonight, Isaac."Isaac nodded repeatedly. "Sure, are we heading to the campus?"Liora looked at Isaac in astonishment. "Are you not scared anymore?"The smile on Isaac's face faded slowly. "Spirits are scary, but I don't want to see you bullied by them again, Lia. I wanted to destroy those spirits on the same day after seeing you suffer. However, they told me to respect your decision, so I didn't do that."Liora caressed Isaac's head affectionately. "You've grown, Isaac. You know how to look out for me now."Isaac took Liora's hand and held her hand tightly in his own. "Lia, I've always cared about you. Next time you

    Reese said, "Yes, you have been in love with her for 15 years and have invested a lot of time for her. However, haven't you noticed that Lia is a very rational person? As soon as she figures things out, she can move on immediately."Chester's breathing became irregular. He took two deep breaths shakily while staring at Reese. "Yes, she is more sensitive and rational than anyone else."Reese said, "I'm going to give you another analogy. If Lia chooses to be with me, what are you going to do?""Nothing. I said before that I'd respect Lia's choice no matter what. Similarly, you don't have to worry about anything else. I won't harbor any resentment because of love," Chester replied. Reese said, "In other words, you'll continue to be friends with Lia even if we end up together, is that right?"Chester frowned. "Lia and I are friends. If we can't be together, our relationship will remain the same as before. You like Lia, but you can't stop me from being friends with her, Reese."Reese

    Reese raised his right arm and said, "My entire right arm was covered in blood at the time. I watched the removal of rotten flesh from your back with my own eyes. I couldn't sleep peacefully for days.""That's easy! Just get the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills to you. You will be able to sleep better, right?" Liora said while giggling. Reese crouched down next to the bed, smiling. "Lia, are you mad at me?"Liora was confused. "Mad at you? For what?"Reese scratched his nose. "If I didn't take you there, you wouldn't have gotten injured."Liora took a glance at him, astounded. "This has nothing to do with you taking me there. It's the ignorant spirits. I'll deal with them all once I recover!""You still want to go back there?" Reese exclaimed. "Yes, of course! Hades will be delighted if I can send the seven spirits to him," Liora said. Reese looked at the joyous smile on Liora's face, feeling guilty. "I was hoping that you'd scold me instead of talking to me so casually."

    Reese sent away Tyler and the other, surging them to get some rest while he remained seated, his gaze fixed on Liora.She slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling slowly with each breath. Meanwhile, a nurse approached. Reese noticed her and hastily stood up. "Hello, nurse."The nurse asked, "How can I help you?"Reese said, "May I inquire when Liora can be transferred out of the ICU?"The nurse said, "I'm not too sure about that. It depends on the healing of her wounds and vital signs. She has the most extensive wound that I've ever seen on a girl. She might end up with scars…"The nurse opened the door and walked inside upon saying that. Reese was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt as he thought of the debt he owed to Liora. He knew he could never fully repay it in this lifetime.-Three days later, Liora was transferred out of the ICU.After learning about the incident, Caroline and Evan rushed to the hospital. They were heartbroken to see Liora lying prone on the be

    Fear and worry flooded Reese's mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky through the skylight. Reese could not help Liora in her profession, so he wondered if he could help out in her safety. He thought about it before he grabbed his phone to text Tyler. Reese: [Can you tell me where Ms. Yelena is staying?]Soon, Tyler texted Yelena's hotel and room number. Reese: [Thank you, my friend.]Tyler sneered.Tyler: [I haven't settled the score with you over Lia's predicament.]Reese: [I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary. It was my mistake, and I'll take responsibility for it.]There was no reply from Tyler afterward.Reese did not send another text, so he started the car and drove to the hotel. -Half an hour later, Reese arrived at the door of Yelena's room. He pondered briefly before knocking on the door. Soon, he heard a response. "Coming."Yelena opened the door and was surprised to find Reese. "Are you the lad fro

    Liora opened her palm. The outline of the charm was vague, but she could feel its intense energy. She took a deep breath and stood up. After sensing her movement, the spirits glanced at her. Liora turned to look at them and felt the same feeling that stopped her from leaving again!Suppressing the fear, Liora braced herself to walk out of the door.The closer she got to the door, the more intense the gloomy presence became—she felt as if her soul was being crushed. "Don't be scared, Lia!""Try to walk out, Lia! They won't hurt you!""Lia! Axel, Ty, Mr. Gates, and I are waiting for you!"Αfter hearing their voices, Liora shed tears. She gnashed her teeth and continued to stride toward the door, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach. She took a deep breath, raised her hand with the charm, and attempted to walk closer. This time, the spirits all turned to look at her. They rushed forward in unison when they sensed Liora was about to touch the door. Sensing t
