Making 220
From the helicopters, about twenty martialists of the de Gate descended, and among them was
Karl.
Karl’s gazended on Juline and Gilmore.
Even though Juline was dressed head–to–toe in ck with a mask covering her face, Karl
recognized her almost instantly.
Juline? Is that you?” Karl asked, his face a mask of surprise.
He had received a call from the mountain vi’s butler informing him that a masked individual in
ck had rescued Gilmore. Without hesitation, Karl had led a team and flown here in the
helicopters.

The three helicopters had been scouring the mountainous terrain for any sign of Gilmore and the
mysterious person in ck
But thest thing he expected was to discover that the masked individual was none other than
Juline.
How could this be possible?
At the bar, hadn’t Juline mentioned she wanted to drink alone and not leave with him?
Puzzled., Karl looked at Juline. “So, you didn’t want to leave with me because you were nning to
secretly rescue him?”
“Yes, I rescued him,” Juline admitted without hesitation.
As she spoke, she pulled down the mask, revealing her face to everyone.
Seeing Juline’s face, the astonishment was evident in the expressions of the twenty or so de
Gate martialists.
While Karl had addressed the mysterious person as Juline, they had initially found it hard to believe
that Juline would be the one behind the mask.
“Why did you save him, Juline?” Karl asked, pointing at Gilmore
Without missing a beat, Juline looped her arm through Gilmore’s and dered to Karl, “Because I
like him. He’s the one I’ve fallen for.
Hearing this, jealousy ignited in Karl’s heart.
He couldn’t believe that Juline had feelings for Gilmore.
In his mind, he assumed Juline was using Gilmore just to get under his skin.
He knew that Juline didn’t have feelings for him
Moreover, Juline was well aware that Gilmore was Helene’s boyfriend.
Thus, there was no way Juline could genuinely be fond of Gilmore.
Even with this knowledge, seeing Juline clutching another man’s arm, especially in front of so many
junior apprentices, and openly dering her affection for Gilmore, made Karl seethe with anger.
Gilmore was taken aback. He never expected Juline to bold his hand out of the blue and profess
her feelings for him.
“Did this count as getting a new girlfriend?” he thought.

Leaning closer to Juline’s ear, Gilmore whispered so that only she could hear, “Didn’t you say that if
he found out you rescued me, he’d want me dead?
“By holding my hand like this and dering your feelings, aren’t you sealing my fate?”
Biting her lip, Juline retorted in a hushed tone, “Why are you talking so much? Isn’t this to protect
you?”
Gilmore was speechless..
It was clear to him that this action had only put him in grave danger, yet Juline imed it was for his
protection.
Oh, what irony!
Gilmore was speechless for a long time.
Juline, Karl began, struggling to keep his temper in check, “Enough with the whims. Gilmore is of
utmost importance to the Wyatt family. Hand him over to me.
“I can lefthe events of tonight slide” Despite the fire of anger burning within him, Karl spoke with
patience, recognizing Juline’s special status as the heiress of de Gate.
Forcibly taking Gilmore away might just infuriate Juline, potentially tearing their rtionship beyond
repair, eliminating any chance for future romance.
But Juline’s determination was unwavering. “Listen carefully, Karl,” she said with a steely resolve,
“This isn’t just a whim Tonight, at the Wyatt Bar, the moment Iid eyes on Gilmore, it was love at
first sight. Why else would I rescue him?
“I know you’ve had feelings for me for a long time, but I’m sorry, I’ve only ever seen you as a senior
apprentice. There’s never been a thought of us being more than that.
“But with Gilmore, it was different. The moment I saw him, my heart skipped a beat.
“That’s why I lied to you, that’s why I didn’t leave with you.
“Unless you n on ending both our lives tonight, nobody is taking him away from me!”
As she spoke, Juline’s expression was cold as ice, her tone suggesting she was prepared to stake
her life on it.
The gravity of her words left not only Karl but also the de Gate martialistspletely stunned.
A look of utter shock painted Karl’s face.
Every word, every syble that came out of Juline’s mouth was like a series of daggers, piercing
his heart, causing a torrent of emotional pain.
He’d been so sure that Juline would never fall for Gilmore.
However, her fervent deration had shaken his convictions.
Indeed, if Juline didn’t care for Gilmore, why would she go to such lengths to save him?
And to deceive him for Gilmore’s sake, even proiming in front of numerous de Gate junior
apprentices that she’d stand by him till death- all these spoke volumes.
It was crystal clear, Juline had genuinely fallen head over heels for Gilmore at first sight.
Yet Gilmore, the very subject of love at first sight,” was utterly bbergasted
“Did I hear that right?” he thought.
Juline fell for me at first sight?
I’d be so naive to believe that.”
Still, Gilmore recognized the cleverness in Juline’s deration.

Only with such a firm stance would Karl hesitate to kill him, as it would mean losing Juline too, a
price Karl wasn’t willing to
pay.
Moreover, by confessing her feelings for Gilmore, Juline was effectively cutting ties with Karl’s
advances
However, the fact that Juline was willing to stake her life for him did move Gilmore.
After all, he had promised to help her out with her troubles, so he might as well support her now,
going with the flow.
So, looking earnestly at Juline, Gilmore said, “Juline, even if Karl decides to end both our lives,
dying by your side would make it Worthwhile.
Watching the two, Karl’s anger surged like a zing inferno, taking the entire scene seem like a
raging sea of mes. He wished he could end Gilmore right there, venting the frustration burning in
his chest.
