    Everyone, as if by some unspoken agreement, looked up at the sky, all struck dumb.


    If this world had angels descending to earth, then this woman was one if this world had goddesses


    descending to earth, then this woman was ond


    And in the midst of their turned disbelief, Evidne’s eyes hoidened, a bullet loaded, and she fired three


    shots at Ward


    Bang, bang bang!


    Didn’t hit him? She’d try again!


    Bang bang bang, bang!


    Right now Evache was seeing red, taking aim at Ward and firing relentlessly!


    The recoil from a Desert Eagle was a lot for a girl to handle, but Evada had the gunst her movements


    professional, demonstrating her stansive training


    Unfortunately, her aim was off and not a single bullet found its target.


    Ward was like a badger, darting through the jungle with an agility that was almost cere!


    “Elvis! Can you fly a little lower?! It’s still too far Evadia shouted, her brow furrowed in Inistration, to


    Elvis who was piloting the ne


    Thready flying as low as I port Any lower and we’ll bending in the din


    Elvis was pushing the ne to its limits, the continuous sound of gunfire making him break out into a


    cold sweet, his heart pounding like it was about to leap out of his chest, Evadel Are you serious? Who


    told you to show yourself? Get back here!


    “No! want them to know what happens when they mess with my man!” Evade’s eyes were glowing


    crimson with cage as she fired another shot, hitting


    one of the


    Thaddeus eyes were narrowed his pace following her every move, his entire body on high alert, his


    blood rushing in his wins,


    He was both captivated by her courage and world for her safety. He hated that he was too far to protect


    her, his fingers tingling with diety, his heart tightening in fearl


    “Damn! I shouldn’t have listened to you and brought you here! This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done


    in my liter Elvis was filled with regret, his insides churning on the verge of tears.


    With no other choice, he changed direction, preparing to forcibly take his sister sway To him, nothing


    was more important than his per’s salty!


    However, Evache wasn’t about to give Him that chance. Seeing an opportunity she let go of thedder


    and leaped


    “Evadner Elvis heart skipped a beat, his face tuning deathly pale!


    The bowling wind pulled her in rushing past her ears, in the moment she jumped, her mind went nk.


    All stewarted was to be by Thaddeus” side, fighting alongside him, facing life and death together


    Just like when Thaddeus had fought off the terrorists to protect her in the battlefield of Zenithia, carving


    a path for har with his bloodied de.


    Now, she wanted to protect him with the same sodesaness, never luming his side


    In that moment Evadna’s breath hitched in her chest, her eyes blurry, as if she had just woken from a


    dream


    Actualy Thaddeus never owed her anything.


    Thirteen years ago, he had saved her young file. On the battlefield of Zenithia, he had helped escape


    from danger.


    Although she had also tried her best to bring him back to camp, ithout him, she wouldn’t how the


    slightest chance of survival


    Her the years‘ failed marriage suddenly seemed so insignificant in the face of life and death.


    What’s more important than? Then survival? Without Thaddeus, there would


    As her thoughts swirled her body falling like a shooting star, was about to hit the ground


    “Evadnel” Thaddeus‘ heart pounded in fear!


    At this moment, he forgot about the excruciating pain from his wounds, and without a second thought,


    he ran forward opening his arma and catching the woman he loved


    The gunshot wound on his left shoulder was to open again as he caught Evadne, his ck shirt soaked


    with blood, but he didnt feel any pain, instead, he felt relieved and a small smile crept onto his face.


    He remembered when he was a kid, whenever he got hurt or had to get a shot at the hospital his mom


    would give him a ce of candy and eating the candy made the pain


    go away.


    Right now Evade was his candy Holding her he could endure anything


    Evadno, held in the man’s arms smelled the strong scent of blood on him, heard his heavy strained


    breathing, and her heart ached Uncontrobly, hot tears spilled onto his heaving chest


    “Liar Fool! Why did youe alone! You could have died” She sobbed, pounding him on the chest, her


    body trembling.


    Thaddeus held her as if she was the most precious thing in the world, his hand gently stroking her


    neck, his smile filed with indulgence, “But I was afaid you’d follow me. I


    “Aren’t you afraid that I worry about you? Exache asked, gripping his shirt, her voice choked with tears.


    Thaddeus was taken aback, a strong current of shock running through his heart, his eyes weling up


    with tears. He had never considered that belone, because he knew he


    But now was not the time for sentiments. In the next second, Thaddeus stood in front of one, picked up


    a machine gun, and wiped out the assassins in front of him


    And Evade was not to be outdone, standing back to back with him, she fred her gun and took out the


    assassins behind them!


    In a daze, Thaddeus felt a jolt in his heart, a familiar name fasting through his mind–Palomal


    Back in Zet, he had lought alongside a girl in a white coat to break out of their encirclement


    They badn’t seen each other since, but Thaddeus never forgot her, considering her a friend for life.


    He though he would never have the chance to see Paloma again, but why did he feel that Evade was


    so smarto Paloma, the woman who saved his life?


    “Word is getting away! Let’s go aher him!”


    Seeing Ward running into the seemingly endless darkness of the jungle, Evadne shouted and anim


    Tvadnel Don’t run off; it’s dongesus!


    Just as Thaddeus was about to follow her, his vision blurred, his tall body swaying, almost copsing!


    Right now, he felt a chill spreading through his body, his body cold barely having any strongth leh. He


    gritted his teeth, using his incredible determination to follow Evde, Irving a trail of bright red blood


    behind him, seeping deep into the earth.


    The terrain of Star Ind wasplex, with dense forests that could easily make people lose their


    way.


    Evade’s delicate skin was streaked with blood from the brombles, but she paid it no mind, her sole


    focus on capturing Ward


    Suddenly her foot triggered something hidden on the ground her heart clenched, and she swiftly acted,


    har body agilely springing away!


    An image burst from the ground just as she left, suspended ominously in the airl


    Evadne stared at the cage suspending in midt parning heavy her beautiful face slick with cold sweat


    Had she reacted a secondter, she would’ve been trapped like a helpless animal!


    Achillingugh echoed from the shadows.


    “Ward Show yourself!


    Since childhood, Evade had tried with C and B. Her hearing was excellent, She instantly located the


    source of the sound, her hands clutching her phytol and aiming at the shadowy figure


    A cold dread washed over her. The earlier shootout had dined her ammunitioni


    frantically, she reached for her spare ammo only to find it missing


    Panic set in. She spotted her ammo a few steps away likely dropped during her evasion of the trap. As


    she moved to retrit two Bullets hit the ground by her feet, Teing her in ce!


    “Ms Ashbourne, your skills are admible. Truly a formidabledy Ward emerged slowly from the


    darkness along with his sister argirk, a sleek crossbow in his hands. The tip of the arrow gleamed in the


    low light, aimed right at Evice.“Our top has caught everything from rabbits to wolves Not one has ever


    escaped. I have newfound respect for you. Pritty rich, and skilled. No wonder en a proud man like


    Thaddeus fell for you


    “Erough bullshir


    Evan’s expression remained steely, her fear hidden behind her intense gaze, “Wird you have one


    choice. Return to Elmawaith with me testify against Elspeth’s crimes, and face legal judgement


    Otherwise, tonight will be yourst!”


    Whahahaha, Ms. Ashbourne, you’re just like Thaddous, word face reality unit’s toote. Or is it that you


    rich folk truly believe wouldn’t dare kill you?” Ward let out a furious guffaw


    “Touch me and guarantee the Ashboume family would raze this entire Star Ind to the ground Evedne


    snarled, her voicing with raw power


    “Shoot me today, and my brothers will ensure you pay tenfold. Your into severed head decapitated, and


    left to rot in the wildemess. Do you want to try?” Exade’s threatening words made Wardhesitate.


    Unlike the bastard Thaddeus woman was different. She wasn’t exaggerating those sons from the


    Astbourne family were,hot to be killed with, and there was her father who even the royal family would


    show respect for


    While Ward was distracted, Evade swiftly reached for her ammo, skindly reloading her gun, her


    movements swift and quic


    Startled, Ward fired an arrow at Exacha’s cheat without hepation

    Evacre froze, her body rigid with shock. She didn’t have the time to dodge or five back! Her eyes


    widened in terras a sturdy figure suddenly shit her, taking the anaw


    meant for her.


    Astonished, Evadne snapped her eyes open which met Thaddeus’s sweaty pale face. He gazed at her


    eyes bloodshot yet his gaze gentle and affectionate, “utne, are you okay?”


    Evade was mmed, endless tears streaming down her face.


    “Don’t cry. I’m okay, I’m okay” Thaddeusforted her his hand caressing her back his voice barely sp


    The next second, with already worn out body, the man copsed onto her unconscious


    Thaddeus, Thaddeus!” Evadne clung to him,caling his name desperately. However, Thaddeus who had


    always responded to her at any time didn’t her any rey any longer


    “Evadne! Thaddeus?


    “Evachel Elvis is here! Evadhol?


    “Thad! I’m here!” At that time, Cassius, this and Jareth finally arrived.


    Cassius fed two shots, one shattering Ward’s kneecap, the other hitting his am, causing him to drop his


    crossbow


    Even so, Ward won’t ready to give up yet he started to crawl towards his weapon, intending to fight


    back.


    Elvis was quick. He stepped on Wade hand, twisting his heel.


    “Ah Halles echoed in the soulstiming darkness, the sound of bone cracking frightening.


    Ward’s hand, which had been used to conduct countless vile crime,pletely useless.


    The rest of Ward’s aplices were ether dead, injured or captured Ward himself was apprehended,


    and the Stars and hideout was


    Not only that, dangerous weapons with high destructive power were found by the Fairhaven Group’s


    men. As a matter of fact, Jarth was thinking to take them all back to Elsworth, but he didn’t have arge


    vessel at hand. Moreoves right now the most important thing was to am Thaddeus to the hospital as


    fast as possible.


    There was no time to dy or his condition would get more severel


    Thaddeus, wake up, please wake up”


    Evape clung to Thaddeus’s hand as they boarded the helicopter. Her face was tear–streaked and her


    eyes bloodshot from crying her grieved sobbing dabused her broth extremely


    Usher’s armed, Thaddeus had been shot in the left shoulder At that time, he was already losing blood


    profusely but he stood firm in front of the thugs, refusing to


    show any signs of weakness. Even when she jumped from the helicopter, he caught her in his arms,


    ready to shed hisst drop of blood to protect her.


    Why was she so stubbom, so willful? Thaddeus was one of a kind. Why couldn’t she value him?


    “Evadne”


    Cassius and this stood behind her, watching her cry inconsbly, their hearts aching with sympathy


    Jareth was also full of worry. Usually he was the life of the party, but now he could not even crack a


    smile. His fats were tightly clenched, his heart pounding with fear


    After Thaddeus was loaded onto the helicopter, Jarth personally escorted him, leaving Star ind


    before the others to seek the best medical care in the capital of Country T


    Evadne covered herce with her hands, trying to suppress her sobs, but tears still slipped through her


    fingers.

    who live for love.”


    “Really?” Cve’s voice was choked with sobs, her wordsing out in fugments.


    Cassius closed his eyes and prayed silently for Thaddeus. He wished for Thaddeus to pull through this


    ordeal, for him to reconcile with Evadne, and for them to spend the rest of their lives together


    If he could, he would give up his own life to ensure their happiness and peace for the rest of their days.
