LOGINDominic arrived at the living room.Even though it was deep into the night, the room was still brightly lit.Christopher, who had long since retired, sat at the head of the room. His face was as cold as ice, sending a chill through everyone present."Dad, do we really have to do this?" Dennis asked.Christopher didn't answer. He turned slightly toward Dominic and asked, "Dominic, are you alright?"Dominic shook his head. "I'm fine."Christopher nodded and pointed ahead.At some point, a large screen had been brought into the living room.Soon, the screen flickered to life, displaying footage from the courtyard.Dominic stood in the pavilion. Suzy wore his coat, but there was no audio, so no one could hear what they were saying.The living room fell completely silent. Everyone held their breath as they watched the footage.Suddenly, a white figure appeared on the screen. The image was slightly blurry, but it was clearly a woman dressed in a flowing robe.She held a long swor
Only Suzy's lips moved slightly. Her eyes seemed to hold countless words she wanted to say but could not.Dominic deliberately avoided looking at Suzy and said to Isabella, "Help me inside first. I need to bandage my wounds."The dizziness was getting worse. If he didn't stop the bleeding, he felt he might not be able to hold on much longer.Still, given his recovery ability, he figured that after a few bandages, he would be fine.Isabella nodded through her tears, and she and Jewel supported Dominic on either side as they helped him into the room.When Dominic took off his clothes, Isabella suddenly covered her mouth. Her vision went black for a moment, and she nearly fainted.Even Jewel was frightened.His earlier wounds had almost healed, but today's injuries were truly horrifying. Dense cuts covered his body, and all of them were still bleeding. Some were so deep that the bottom could not even be seen.After a long moment, Isabella finally recovered enough to let out a hyst
"Go on," Dominic said flatly.Lana panted heavily. "Later, we used the serum to launch a counter-infiltration operation against the Underhall, dealing a devastating blow to the Hales. In the end, the Hales were forced to make concessions in political resources, and they disbanded theUnderhall as well."A sharp glint flashed in Dominic's eyes.What she revealed completely contradicted Jackson's account.Jackson claimed there was no antidote to the Underhall drug and that he had voluntarily disbanded the organization. But according to Lana, the antidote had been developed long ago, and the Underhall had been forced to disband after being infiltrated through its use.So who was telling the truth?Seeing him fall silent, Lana became vaguely aware of the warmth of his body against hers. Unease crept into her voice as she said, "I've already told you everything, and I've agreed to go back and get the antidote for you. Can you let me go now?""Let you go... That's impossible." Dominic
The more it came down to a moment like this, the calmer Dominic became. He hadn't come this far only to die in a gutter.Lana took a deep breath and said, "Dominic, I admit I underestimated you. If you let me go, I'll owe you a favor."Faced with the threat of death, she ultimately succumbed to human nature and tried to beg for mercy.Dominic sneered as he advanced, "And how much is your favor worth?"With no other option, Lana slowly backed away and gritted her teeth. "I can do something for you.""Do something for me? Sure." Dominic smiled, but his eyes remained cold. "Then I'll let you go. Go back and kill Sebastian. How about that?""That's impossible!" Lana shook her head without hesitation. "I could never hurt Sebastian!"Dominic paused slightly. "You're that close? Are you really his aunt?"Lana clenched her jaw. "If you let me go, I can do anything for you, but I can't hurt Sebastian."Something seemed to click for Dominic. Shock flashed across his face. "Holy shit! No
In the darkness of the night, two figures shot through the streets like arrows loosed from a bow.Lana fled desperately ahead while Dominic pursued her with relentless determination.Both moved at astonishing speed. To bystanders, it felt as though a gust of wind had swept past.But Lana was truly fast. Even at full speed, Dominic could do little more than keep her in sight.In truth, Lana was suffering in silence. She had never expected Dominic to possess such terrifying strength. That single punch had nearly crippled her.She could feel it clearly now.'Even breathing hurts. Several of my ribs are obviously broken. And in that particular place…' Humiliation and fury flashed across Lana's cold, beautiful face.…In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.They continued weaving through alleys, and Dominic no longer had any idea where they were.By then, Lana's face was pale as paper. No matter how strong she was, she was still human.Already badly injured, she had spent ha
Lana was deeply shocked as well. Dominic had far exceeded her expectations. After suffering so many wounds, he still hadn't gone down?At that thought, her heart hardened, and the sword in her hand struck with even greater force.However, its speed slowed considerably.Still, that didn't matter. Lana's combat experience far surpassed Dominic's.Even now, Dominic hadn't touched so much as the edge of her clothing. Every punch he threw had landed on empty air.Judging from the situation, it was practically a one-sided battle. The number of wounds on Dominic's body continued to grow.'Finally!' Lana spotted an opening. Her eyes lit up as she drove her sword forward with all her strength.This strike was heavier than any before it.The blade pierced Dominic's abdomen and sank nearly four inches deep.For an ordinary person, that would have been a death sentence.Lana thought so too and smiled coldly. However, just as she was about to pull the sword back out, her expression change
Isabella said, "Kathy, take care of Lily and put her to bed."Katherine glanced at Dominic on the couch. Her eyes wavered as she spoke. "What about you…"She had already guessed what Isabella intended to do. A strange emotion swelled in her chest, leaving her unsettled. Still, she had no right to
Adam slept in the same bed as his parents.Wendy glanced at them, then turned and left the room. She locked every door and window before walking into the kitchen.She hesitated for a moment. Then she remembered how her parents had been bullied by those beasts earlier that day, and rage flooded her
The long crying and silence had left the middle-aged woman's voice hoarse. She said, "Honey… I'll go make dinner…"The man shook his head quietly and said nothing.Today marked the seventh day since their daughter's death. A photo of her rested on the coffee table. The man's eyes held only sorrow
Wendy looked at Dominic, clearly surprised. "Mr. Fleming…"Dominic smiled faintly. "Didn't you say it yourself? We're good friends. When a good friend gets into trouble, how could I sit back and do nothing?"As for Adam, calling him a troublesome kid would have insulted the term. Whether he was bo
