Johanna’s vengeance demanded the blood of her enemy!
It as
ery time she recalled that night, it felt as though an invisible hand was gripping her heart, suffocating her with
Archie’s death at Imogen’s hands was a memory that haunted Jehanna. Every unbearable pain.
<b>She </b>had to get her revenge. She needed to!
It not for that burning <b>desire</b>, she wouldn’t have endured and scraped by until now.
Now, <b>with </b>an opportunity finally in front of her and after all the patience and suffering, how could she let it slip away?
Inside the SUV, no one <b>noticed </b>the slight tremble of <b>Johanna’s </b>eyshes. As the robed figure continued chantingmands with the bronze bell in hand, Johanna moved.
With sudden, unprecedented ferocity, she <b>lunged </b>forward. The sheer force of her impact <b>was </b>like a cannonball mming into the robed figure, sending him <b>crashing </b>into the car door
<b>In </b>the next instant, the bells <b>slipped </b>from his grasp<b>, </b>snatched away by Johanna in the <b>chaos </b>
The robed figure’s expression wisted in shock and fury. “What are <b>you </b>doing?” he roared.
Pere, sitting <b>nearby</b>, was <b>equally </b>stunned. For <b>a </b>moment, he <b>froze</b>, neither reacting nor <b>moving</b><b>. </b>It wasn’t until Johanna leaped out of the car, clutching the bronze bell, that the robed figure backed at Pete, “<b>Are </b>you blind?”
Pete E finally snapped out of his daze and shouted to the men in the other whicle, “Get her! Bring her back!“
The men rushed forward, but it <b>was </b>already toote.
In the brief moment of opportunity, Johanna manipted the bronze bell to issue one finalmand to the venomous creature within. Then, without hesitation, the raised the bells high <b>and </b>smashed them down onto a nearby rock.
Afurious curse escaped the robed figure’s lips. “Fuck!”
venomous creature insida had been killed by the blow was unclear, but johanna copsed onto the ground,
The bronze bell cracked under the force, leaving <b>a </b>jagged hole. Whether the veughing hysterically.
She remembered that the robed figure had once said, “If the bronze bell is ever destroyed, thestmand given will force the connected venomous creature to fulfill theirmand even at the cost of the life of the host. There’ll be no turning back.”
As the bell’s frantic chime abruptly ceased, <b>a </b>sudden, piercing sensation like a thousand needles stabbing into the skull spread through Maurice’s <b>head</b><b>. </b>
His controlled steps faltered for a brief moment, but only for a moment. The next <b>instant</b>, his body moved as if it were <b>a </b>perfectly calcted machine. His mind was overwhelmed by a single, chilling, and absolutemand that echioed endlessly in his <b>mind </b>
Maurice’s eyes turned bloodshot, his pupils <b>clouding </b>with crimson
Thest shred of rity be held unto was slowly stripped away<b>, </b>consum d by the excruciating pain.
Meanwhile, Felicia, Imogen, and Scarlet finally reached the massive crater left by the explosions
there was no one there
The acrid smell of smoke and sulfur still lingered in the air. However, it
Scarlet, ever observant, pointed toward a <b>clearing </b>in the distance. The helicopternded over there. It must be Mr. Russell.”
Both Felicia and Imogen turned to look.
The helicopter’s cabin door was open, and the posts from the spinning <b>des </b>whipped through the area, rustling the grass and trees. Dust and sand swirled in the <b>air</b>, blurring the view.
Amidst the chaos<b>, </b><b>a </b><b>tall</b>,manding figure jumped down from the helicopter. His coat red dramatically in the wind, emphasizing his <b>broad </b>shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
It was Stephan
Felicia’s gaze <b>was </b>immediately drawn to him, and before she could <b>react</b><b>, </b>Stephan’s intense eyes locked onto hers. His piercing state was dick and profound, carrying a hint of reproach as if he was preparing to settle the score with her.
Feeling a twinge of guilt, Felida touched her nose <b>awkwardly </b>and stepped back, trying to shrink into the background.
