Thirty Minutes Earlier…..“Almond, why do I feel that this call is important” William said after taking Almond Grey’s call in the hallway.“I don’t know, maybe I’m just worried silly. It’s Evelyn, we were supposed to have dinner tonight but she hasn’t shown up and my calls are not even going through. I was wondering if she happens to be with you” There was concern in Almond’s voice as he spoke and this made William’s heart quake, knowing the secrets she had hidden from her father.“She is supposed to be here with me Almond, I guess she is on her way or something” Even William wasn’t sure why Evelyn’s line wasn’t going through and why she was yet to arrive at the party.“That gives me peace, William. I won't bother you further” Almond hung up the call and inhaled.William turned around to return to the hall when he noticed a maidservant moving at the other end of the hallway.She looked normal, at least to anyone else but William, he could see the thick dark smoke whirling behind her l

Several minutes had passed and William was sweating profusely as he was occupied with poking and removing his silver needle from one point in her body to another.The Dark Moon venom was a toxin more complex to deal with than the whispering mist of death and his master had spent a year in getting him to learn the perfect way to get rid of this.This was why William knew that only one person could be saved.He never predicted that the Alchemist would be able to refine such a toxin with a complex process and this made him curious about the face behind it.Why do the toxins appear familiar?The perfection of their refinement was also questionable.He must have met this person before but she didn’t seem to recognize him from somewhere.Maybe he was just overthinking about this.William pulled out the last silver needle from Ava’s neck and the blood that trickled out was red.This made him exhale and wipe the sweat on his forehead.He arranged his silver needle back in the box and approach

Anna's heart pounded wildly and she tasted blood in her mouth when the tattooed-faced man grabbed her by the collar and made to hit her again but an authoritative feminine voice echoed from the side."Stop!"He paused abruptly and his head tilted to the side.The armed men in the room also turned with him to see the figure approaching from the main hallway with two 6'9 macho following closely behind her with sub-machine guns in their possession.When she stepped into the light, her naturally beautiful face was revealed to also be tattooed but it was that of a yellow butterfly with the colorful wings spread across her puffy cheeks."You killed the last of your five girlfriends and the sixth in forever impaled to a wheelchair. Well, I don't blame you because they knew what they were getting into but this woman is no girlfriend of yours to abuse, let go of her, now" The woman's voice was low and calm but Anna could tell she was the main person in the room because of how respectful the ar

William was dumbfounded after hearing Amelia's statement and his face became as red as a ripe fruit. She was really inviting him to her bedroom? At that tense moment where when he was processing her words, his phone buzzed loudly. “I’ll just turn this off” William took the phone from his pocket but paused for a second, staring at the caller on the screen. It was Evelyn and it was also a video call. Strange was the word. Amelia noticed the look on his face and whispered, “It’s alright” She disengaged from him and moved to the balcony where she leaned with a smile still on her face. William exhaled and turned around before taking the call. Evelyn’s unmasked face appeared on the screen and he turned off his camera. “Where have you been? Did something happen?” His voice was distant. A smile curled at the corner of her lips, “Do you care for me now?” “Bullshit! ” “As much as I expected. I lost my device from running around but—something happened” She told him an

Tracey Wilson felt a light headache in her head as her eyes gently blinked open to see the blurry figures standing not far from her.She tried to rub her itchy eyes only to realize that her hands had been restrained to a metal pipe behind her."What is going on?" She stammered in confusion and lifted her eyes to clearly see Harry in front of her with two tattooed face with rifles standing not far from him."Harry, what is this....?" She could still remember the vicious look on his face before she was drugged.Harry got closer and whispered to her, "If you cooperate with these people, everything will be well""What are you talking about?" She was even more confused.He gritted his teeth and grabbed her shoulder, "This is all your stupid ex-husband's fault. He offended these people and they want revenge""William, I have nothing to do with him.." She shivered for fear.Harry rubbed the roof of his nose and said, "Don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with us. Once they have that
