Chapter 75


    The dream was abruptly shattered, and Sadie''s newfound illusion was broken. But since she dared


    to call Ste out, she was already prepared.


    "Why can''t you share some of your possessions with me? It''s better than being found out by others


    and being overwhelmed by them. If that happens, you''ll be in deep trouble."


    Hearing her presumptuous request, Ste couldn''t help butugh. "No, you don''t understand me.


    I''m a hot-tempered person who acts impulsively without considering the consdequences. What


    threatens me about youing empty-handed?"


    Sadie''s heart skipped a beat. She was immediately on guard and warned, "Ste, since I dared to


    invite you out, I obviously have a backup n. If you dare to harm a single hair on my head, you


    won''t be leaving this ce today!"


    Steughed at the threat, as if a cat was ying with a dying mouse. She was in such a good


    mood. "For a bag of ramen, you''re willing to sleep with two or three men. Don''t tell me you''ve hired


    a bunch of gangsters to ambush me. They charge a lot; you won''t be able to afford their


    appearance fee even if you sleep with them day and night for a month."


    Sadie, feeling the blow, bristled with anger. "Ste, what''s so great about you? Is it just because you


    have the Arcadia? Without the Arcadia, you''d be worse off than me. You''re just a cheat and think


    you''re so powerful? With your looks, I doubt you could even be exchanged for a bag of ramen."


    "I''m sorry, indeed I''m not as capable as you. Anyone can have their way with you."


    In Ste’s previous life, Arcadia was stolen, she''d much rather starve to death than deal with the


    devil, while Sadie, even with the Arcadia, still relied on her body to make exchanges for resources,


    using Arcadia to steal theirs.


    Ste sneered, "You need to understand, who can make the choice now."


    Sadie gritted her teeth. "Fine, I didn''t bring anyone with me, but if I can''t go back today, the news of


    you having Arcadia will be exposed."


    "Really?" Knowing her selfish greed, Ste didn''t fear her at all. "Don''t tell me you told Hector, or


    those men."


    Sadie was silent.


    "They not only share you and Amanda, but also let you two go out and use your bodies to exchange


    for food. If you really trusted them, you wouldn''t havee here alone today."


    If she did, they would have surrounded and threatened her to hand over the Arcadia.


    Unfortunately, Sadie didn''t know that the Arcadia couldn''t be taken away. As long as she didn''t enter


    the Arcadia, no other living thing could.


    Hector was selfish, and Sadie was even worse. She wanted to snatch the Arcadia but was even


    more afraid of it being taken away once she got it. So, she would definitely not tell Hector and the


    others.

    Ste, seeing through her, made Sadie furious. "Ste, don''t be too arrogant, just try it if you don''t


    believe me."


    "Alright." Ste smiled, "Let''s try it."


    Sadie''s face hardened. "Fine, we''ll see!" Now she absolutely couldn''t show weakness. Once she


    did, she would lose.


    Sadie stood tall and warned, "You''ll regret it!" After saying that, she turned and left.


    Ste didn''t leave and watched Sadie walk away.


    Sadie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Since Ste refused the suggestion, she had to deal


    with rejection and do as she had warned. She would let everyone in Griffith know that Ste had the


    Arcadia and see if there was still a ce for her to stay.


    With the knowledge of Ste’s possession, Sadie would make Ste homeless. With a determined


    mind, she quickened her pace down the stairs.


    Just at the stairway, a shadow fiercely pounced on her.


    "Woof!"


    "Ah!!!"


    Already on edge, Sadie screamed and instinctively dodged and fell back. She felt a sharp pain and


    was so pained she couldn''t breathe. She looked down at her chest to see a sharp knife had pierced


    through her body from the back and was stained with blood.


    "Who gave you the courage to threaten me?" A cold voice rang out behind Sadie.


    She tried to open her mouth wide, but couldn''t say a word. Her eyes were full of shock! Was


    Ste...killing her?


    "I don''t care about who you are. You''re such a mess, and you still think you''re the chosen one or


    have nine lives?"


    Ste held the handle of the knife, twisted it hard, and then pulled it out. Blood was dripping from


    the knife.


    Sadie fell down with a loud thud, struggling to breathe. She tried to open her mouth, her eyes were


    bulging out of their sockets, and her w-like hands were reaching out to Ste. "You, you..."


    Ste''s eyes looked cold. "Everyone is struggling to survive, but you''re eyeing others'' pockets. I can


    only send you to hell."


    Well, what if Sadie knew she had the Arcadia? She still had to have the ability to get it!


    As for who Sadie was, Ste had no interest. She just needed to eliminate the threat.


    Soon, due to the freezing weather and massive blood loss, Sadie''s body stiffened quickly, and her


    eyes were wide open even in death.


    It was not yet five o''clock, but the sky was already darkening. Ste did not linger, taking Cooper


    downstairs. The dog was unwilling. His angry head looked back, then quickly caught up.


    With ice skates on, Ste slid towards home.


    Cooper ran wild, excitedly catching up. Two wheels were no match for four, the dog ran wild, quickly


    leaving its master behind. As expected of Jasper''s trained dog, his running speed was fast as


    lightning, and his posture was steady and handsome. Cooper was the most dazzling pup on the


    street.


    Ste couldn''t help but call out, "Cooper."


    The dog stopped abruptly, turned his head to look at her, then without hesitation ran back. "Woof!"


    He ran back, circled around Ste a few times, then ran forward like a bolt of lightning.


    The sky was about to darken. The most dangerous time of the day was upon them.


    On the ice, there were groups of three to five people. Whether they were looking at the dog or


    Ste, there were all res of greed and malice in their eyes.


    Anyone who ventured alone, knew they were taking a risk.


    The sight of the robust, well-fed dog in the bone-chilling cold was enough to awaken an illicit


    temptation in many. Several folks reached for their concealed weapons hidden beneath their coats,


    swiftly closing in on Cooper.


    "Quick, seize him!"
