    Elsewhere.


    OGW''s secret base. This is a private location built by Rohomes. Hidden in the city, upstairs is a bustling


    dining and culinary center. No one would have thought that beneath ity eight levels, serving as a


    secret base.


    Since Athena broke free from Christian''s control, Cloud moved her here to recover and bide her time.


    No one knew about this ce, including Christian.


    Ever since Cloud vanished from OGW, he disappeared without a trace.


    Rohomes sent a new leader, Aldis, to assist Athena.


    At this moment, Athenay on the sofa in the basement living room, adorned in a pink cherry blossom-


    embroidered pajama. Despite the warmth outside, the underground was damp and chilling, sending


    shivers to her very core.


    New woundsyered upon old ones, her injuries, though healing, could not fully mend.


    She massaged her shoulder lightly, the basement''s chill making her joints even more ufortable.


    Damn it, all of this was caused by that wretched Joyce, piercing her shoulder de, and then Luther


    actually shot at her, exacerbating her previous injuries, making her suffer immensely. She would never


    forgive him, nor would she spare Joyce.


    A light massage couldn''t alleviate the pain. Gradually, her addiction resurfaced, convulsions taking over


    her body uncontrobly.


    Gritting her teeth, she knew the dosage was already at its maximum. Since leaving Christian, no one

    dared to restrict her medication. Unbeknownst to her, she escted from one shot a day to four, every


    six hours. But now it seemed even six hours were unbearable as the pain began to strike.


    She knew Christian wanted her to quit the painkillers for her own good. She knew that by constantly


    using medication, the dosage would increase, the addiction would grow, and eventually, she would be


    ruined. But she couldn''t care less. The hatred burning within her was like an unquenchable fire,


    growing fiercer by the moment. Even in death, she was determined to drag them all down; no one


    would find peace.


    Aldis approached, holding a set of blueprints.


    Seeing Athena''s pale face and trembling body, he nced briefly but didn''t ask much.


    Handing the blueprints to Athena, his voice low, "Miss, our technicians just reported that these


    blueprints for the electromaic pulse device have a w in a crucial technical section, making it


    impossible to construct what we need ording to the ns."


    Athena sat up abruptly, incredulous. "What do you mean? Are you saying the blueprints are fake?"


    Aldis shrugged. "I wouldn''t say entirely fake. The blueprints are real, but there''s a w in the key


    technical section. We can''t surpass this part of the technology."


    "Are you suggesting that Cloud gave us faulty blueprints in exchange for his freedom?" Athena''s gaze


    turned cold. If that were the case, Cloud had betrayed her, which was utterly despicable.


    "Hard to say. After all, it''s not something I personally handled. It''s also possible that Cloud wasn''t aware


    of the blueprints being wed, considering he''s not a technician. Even our technicians didn''t notice the


    issue until a thorough examination." Aldis exined.


    "Impossible. Cloud is always cautious, never making mistakes. Unless he did it intentionally. Damn it,


    where is he now? Have you been able to contact him?" Athena forced herself to stand, grabbing her


    satellite phone from the coffee table.


    "No contact. Our people had been monitoring him. After leaving Khebury''s territory, he mysteriously


    disappeared from satellite tracking. After leaving the country, we have no idea where he went," Aldis


    pointed out. "I arrivedte, this is based on the reports I received. I''m not entirely clear on the details."


    "The bastard dared to vanish. Something''s not right; there must be a problem." Athena mmed the


    blueprints onto the ground. Cloud had carefully orchestrated everything, diverting attention, just to free


    her from Christian''s confinement. Initially, she wouldn''t have doubted Cloud. But in the end, he had


    deceived her.


    All of this only meant one thing: Cloud had ultimately allied with Luther and Joyce.


    Her people had betrayed her. This was intolerable.


    "I''m afraid you''ll need to exin this to His Highness," Aldis expressed regret.


    As he spoke, Athena''s satellite phone rang.


    The sharp sound echoed through the basement, creating an eerie resonance.


    Aldis nced, reminding her, "Miss, it''s His Highness on the line."


    Athena answered the call.


    From the phone came a low, chilling voice, "Do you realize? You''ve ruined my ns."


    Athena felt a sense of dread toward this voice. She took a deep breath. "I''m sorry, cousin."


    Clint, her cousin, her mother Charity, and Clint''s mother Taura were siblings, all part of theYoshikawa


    family. The Yoshikawa family was the true maniptor behind OGW.


    "My family entrusted OGW to you, yet you''ve made such a grave mistake. Do you understand? The


    dy in the session of the throne signifies something," Clint''s voice was icy.


    "I understand," Athena replied. It meant that Clint''s position as the first heir was now in jeopardy, or


    else there would be no need for a dy. The postponement naturally provided other princes an


    opportunity. The battle for session would intensify.


    OWG had consecutively mishandled things. Her coboration with Seren in the affairs of the Saunders


    family had failed, resulting in Seren''s death. No one could restrain the Saunders family now, and she


    was being closely watched by the warlords and Luther''s faction. For the Rohomes election, they


    needed the blueprints for the electromaic pulse device as an exchange. She had let Cloud go, only


    to receive a set of false blueprints in return, leading to colossal losses. After Cloud left, the chain


    reaction he set off was more severe than she had imagined. Many people directly left the organization,


    some even turned against Christian. Currently, OGW was crumbling, teetering on the brink of copse.


    Now, Clint naturally wanted her to answer for it.


    "Aldis is my man, and I sent him to assist you. But I want to remind you, I''m not like others. Don''t


    consider yourself a princess; no one will pamper you. I''ll give you onest chance. If we can''t get the


    real blueprints and this goes wrong again, impacting my ascension, even if you are a Yoshikawa, I will


    make sure you live in hell. Do you understand?"
