Chapter 1725


    Chapter 1725


    The light in Taya’s eyes slowly faded away, as if she had been


    plunged into an endless darkness filled with nothing but despair.


    Her mind was filled with images of Griffon having his skull


    opened. She didn’t know if those people had given him.


    anesthesia, which could at least ease the pain, or if they had


    just cut him open without any numbing. She couldn’t imagine the feeling of having things taken out of


    his brain piece by piece…


    Just the thought of Griffon dying in such agony made Taya’s heart feel like it was being ripped in two.


    She took big, gasping breaths, but still couldn’t catch her breath. The suffocating feeling was


    unbearable, as if her mouth and nose were blocked and she couldn’t even get any


    air.

    Taya winced in pain, clutching her chest and slowly bending over, but the excruciating pain in her heart


    just wouldn’t ease. Tears streamed down her face, drop by drop, hitting the


    floor…


    Holden couldn’t help but lift his head when he saw the tears

    on the ground. What he saw was Taya’s lifeless appearance.


    In that moment, feelings of guilt and self–me rushed into his heart, making him unable to look


    directly at her.


    “My sister asked him to protect me, so he did…”


    Thinking about the way Griffon sacrificed himself for him, Holden buried his head even deeper into his


    knees.


    “Sorry…”


    Taya’s ears slowly regained their ability to hear as she looked away from Holden, who had buried his


    head in his knees, with her eyes red and swollen.


    “So you’re saying he chose you, so he doesn’t want me


    anymore.”


    She almost used all her strength to say these words from her


    throat.


    He promised her that he woulde back, but he ended up leaving her behind to save someone else.


    Should she praise him for his righteousness, or should she hate him for his cruelty?


    Taya’s face turned pale, with a touch of endless mockery.


    Chapter 1725


    But could she me him for this?


    3/6


    No, she couldn’t.


    Because of her husband risked everything to save others.


    She released her hand from her chest and wiped away the


    tears on her face before looking down at Holden, who was still kneeling.


    “Where are his ashes?”


    “No one imed his body.”


    Holden clenched his fists tightly.


    “We’re heading in two different directions, I can’t go back…”


    However, he knew that those who epted punishment


    would be held down on the operating table by the ck–clothed figures hiding behind masks, and have


    their heads cut in half with a knife from the back of their skulls.


    Then, their insides would be scooped out and thrown into the trash bin, while the remaining body would


    be kicked into the


    incineration chute.


    As he and Mr. Greyson entered the final round of the game, the videos ying on the walls all around


    them were filled


    Chapter 1725


    with the fear of death.

    This fear often led people to make the wrong choices. The


    gamblers who entered at the same time as them were no


    exception.


    As soon as the door opened, they were dragged onto the


    operating table and had their skulls opened and their bodies burned in front of the next participant.


    At the critical moment, he and Griffon were faced with a


    decision – one made the right choice, while the other made.


    the wrong one.


    He was prepared to sacrifice himself, but before the door. could open, Griffon pushed him aside with


    lightning speed and was pulled away, not giving Holden any chance at all.


    Taya’s heart sank when she heard that no one was going to im Griffon’s body. Her eyes, hollow and


    empty, suddenly sparked with a glimmer of hope.


    “Did you see him being decapitated with your own eyes?”


    Holden knew that Taya was expecting something, but…


    “Before he entered the gates of death, he gave me a deadline of 23 days. If hees back within that


    time, it means he


    seeded. But if not, it’s a sign of misfortune…”

    So, whether he saw it with his own eyes or not, Griffon can’t


    “But…”


    Taya tried to struggle, but Holden cut off her hope.


    “Mrs. Knight, your husband had everything nned out. The first letter he sent you was through


    Preston, a month after he left. He wanted toe back to you within that month after


    easy to leave Erebus. So he wrote in the letter, asking you to


    wait for two more months…”


    “But he calcted that he couldn’t finish the task within a


    month, so he knew he wouldn’t be able to finish it within two


    months either. That’s why he wrote a second letter, asking


    Preston to deliver it to Ss after two months. He did this


    because he was afraid that if he couldn’te back, there


    would be someone else to take care of you.”


    As Holden spoke, his eyes uncontrobly filled with tears.


    “You know, when I came back, I was just like you, hoping that Alpha woulde back within 23 days.


    But he didn’t, he never did. That’s when I realized, he’s noting back for real…”


    Because he knew Alpha wouldn’t being back, he chose to be honest when he received Peter’s


    call, instead of following Alpha‘ request to continue hiding the truth from Taya or helping him push Taya


    towards Ss.


    Because Taya rejected Ss, it’s clear that she loved Alpha


    very much. A woman who loved a man like that had the right to know everything about him.
