Chapter 841
Artemis and Bailey shared an intimate moment together in the cabin.
Afterward, Artemis was in high spirits, but the poor Bailey was so worn out that she couldn''t even stand
straight. “Artemis, you lied to me. You promised to visit me every day to make me happy. However, I''m
not happy at all right now. On the contrary, I feel terrible, as if I''ve been run over by a truck.”
Artemis was already dressed neatly, standing by the bed. He nced at her, leaned over, and kissed
her forehead. “If you''re tired, take a nap. I''ll keep watch.”
A tremendousmotion came from outside. Bailey grabbed Artemis'' wrist and nced at his watch.
Three hours have already passed. This man is a jerk. How could he ask me for sex at least three times
a day? His sex drive is so high, making me unbearably miserable.
“I''ve made up my mind. I''m going to custom-make a medicine for you that can lower your sex drive.
This is just too exhausting for me,” she said.
Artemis reached out and pinched her cheek yfully before teasing her with a smile, “There are so
many men in this world who are unable to keep their wives happy in the bedroom. You should feel
content with what you have right now.”
Bailey was rendered speechless.
“Alright, enough fooling around. If you want toe with me, get up quickly. Sofie has already started
her attack. We must keep our eyes on the battlefield at all times. In order topletely dismantle her
power, we must capture all her people. Today, we will guard the foot of the mountain. We must kill all
the escapees,” he said.
Meanwhile, in the ward at the infirmary at the Tarragon Headquarters, Micah struggled to sit up.
He had been lying in bed for more than half a month without even turning over once.
Although had been enjoying his days with Shannon serving him, he felt troubled because of the
situation Tarragon was in.
Before he could sit up, a sudden force on his shoulder pushed him back down.
“Make another move, and I''ll grab an iron rod to give you a good beating, sending you back to the state
you were in before you were healed,” Shannon warned.
Nan Xiao sighed helplessly in response. “I''m worried that your brother won''t be able to handle it alone.”

“There''s no need for a good-for-nothing like you to make things worse.”
Shannon had been mean with her words, but Micah had probably gotten used to it.
Nothing could be better if that method could allow her to vent the resentment in her heart.
“Shannon, I''m feeling well now, I—”
“Just listen to Shannon. Don''t go out and make things worse.” Holden''s voice echoed at the door, and
he walked in while holding Dawn''s hand.
Micah struggled to sit up, frowning as he asked, “What exactly have you arranged? I heard that you''ve
really withdrawn all the defenses. When the timees, and Sofie''s forcesunch a major attack, will
you be able to control the situation?”
Holden reached out and ruffled Dawn''s hair. In a casual tone, he said, “With Bailey and Artemis
guarding the perimeter, there shouldn''t be much of a problem. The most important thing is to rescue
Wendy. Once that''s done, I''ll no longer have any worries holding me back. I can give it my all. However,
in any confrontation, there''s always an element of danger. That''s why I''m entrusting my sister and
niece to you now. Please protect them well. When Sofie attacks, I''m afraid I won''t be able to look after
them.”
With that, he slowly crouched down and gently persuaded Dawn, “Dawn, perhaps you could consider
treating Mr. Neyman as your foster father and enjoy the time spent together as a family.”
A hint of displeasure shed across Shannon''s eyes. What does Holden mean? Is he helping me
reconcile with Micah?
She was indeed a bit upset, but with a formidable challenge ahead, it was not the time for her to throw
a tantrum.
“Holden, take care of yourself. Wendy and Sebastian are waiting for you to return,” Shannon said.
Holden gave a soft hum of acknowledgment.
With Wendy and Sebastian on his mind, his sharp and cold gaze gradually faded, reced by a gentle
look between his brows.
“Just stay put and don''t go out. The turmoil will be over soon.”
After speaking, Holden walked out of the ward.
Dawn rolled her eyes, then scampered over to the bed and sprawled beside Micah. “Uncle Holden told
me to regard you as my father. What do you think?”
The smile on Micah''s face intensified. “I consider it my honor. I''m delighted to be your father.”
Shannon looked coldly at the cheerful father and son. After standing by the bed for a while, she turned
and walked out.
Dawn blinked her eyes and asked in a hushed voice, “What do you think my mother is thinking about
right now?”
Micah smiled faintly, and a sly glint shed across his hawk-like eyes. “She''s probably regretting
adopting you and figuring out how to send you away.”
Dawn hung her head low. “This is really terrible. I think I shouldn''t have helped you.”
“Don''t worry. If she doesn''t want to take care of you, I will. You have to believe that we will be the
people who love you most in this world.”
Dawn grinned, “Not necessarily. In the future, when I find a boyfriend, he will love me just as much as
you do.”
Micah slightly furrowed his brows, asking lightly, “Do you know what do we call that behavior of yours?”
“Puppy love?”
Micah was rendered speechless.
Three hourster, the sky gradually darkened.
Sofie sessfully led all her subordinates to the center of Tarragon Headquarters.
Looking at the magnificent buildings before her, she could feel her blood boil with excitement. Whoever
controls this ce will have power and influence. This is so exciting! I''ve been nning for over a
decade and waiting for this day to arrive. Now that everything is about to unfold, I''m having a hard time
keeping my cool!
“Ms. Carr, Mr. Lewitt is on the phone.”
Her subordinate''s voice pulled Sofie back from her pleasant daydreams.
She swiftly grabbed themunicator and held it to her ear, saying, “My people have arrived. May I
ask, Mr. Lewitt, what are your ns for the next step?”
The calm and steady voice of Holden came through the microphone. “I will give you the ck Dragon
Ring. With it, you canmand everyone to surrender when the timees. Before I give it to you,
you must have Wendy brought in. Once I see her, I will send someone to give you the ring.”
Sofie narrowed her eyes. Her voice was cold when she questioned, “What if youunch a
counterattack against me after I hand Wendy to you?”
“I can''t give you the ring first, either. Once it''s in your hands, you''ll surely kill me and my family, Ms.
Carr.”
Sofie pondered for a moment and gritted her teeth. “Then bring the ring out and negotiate with me.
We''ll exchange the person for the item. How about that?”
“Alright, then. It''s settled. I''lle to see you in five minutes, and we can talk face to face.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Sofie turned to her subordinate and ordered, “Bring that girl here and tell the
sniper to get ready. The moment I get the diamond ring, have your men take them out. I won''t allow
Holden to escape right under my nose. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Five minutester, Holden stood on the defensive wall and asked, “I''ve brought the stuff. Where''s the
person I asked for?”
After he finished speaking, he slowly raised the ck Dragon Ring he held in his hand.
Sofie stared intently at the ring in his hand and urged her subordinates nearby, “Find out why hasn''t the
person been brought over yet.”
Just as the subordinate was about to speak, a sudden cry of rm came from not far away. “No, this is
terrible. Ms. Wendy has been murdered.”
