*****Although Williams heard Sofia’s question and felt her strong nervousness, he did not look at her nor even pay her any attention, instead, he continued studying his surroundings with a full alert, looking as though he was watching out for a really strong predator.And with this, a moment of silence and stillness envelopes the entire area which lasts until;"Could it be that you were just being overly sensitive?" Sofia, noticing that the serenity and stillness in the environment remained unchanged even after so long looked at Williams and inquired, her confusion evident on her face.It was only after this that Williams spared her a severe glance, shaking his head seriously.“No,” he responded with the level of seriousness Sofia had never felt from him since they began their adventure together.“We are already in a grave trap,” he added after a moment before once again looking at his surroundings.To be honest, it wasn’t that Williams’ instinct was particularly strong, no.Whil
*****For a moment, Williams was taken aback by Sofia’s request, but soon he smiled wryly, knowing that she was only begging a heartless devil who was unlikely to grant her plea. Despite this, though, he still felt a soft emotion in his heart, one he had only felt for a few people.This was the second time Sofia had tried saving him in just a single day and obviously, Williams’ heart wasn’t made of rock.He sighed after a moment before shaking his head to force out the feelings clouding his mind, focusing his gaze back on the vixen, whose eyes were currently filled with mischievousness.“What an adorable little lover girl,” she sighed after making Sofia stare hopefully at her for a moment before chuckling.“But given the stress I went through in order to force him to join you in the trap, almost giving myself and my group away in the process, would you let him go if you were me?” She inquired and the weakness Sofia was feeling returned several times stronger.She slowly fell limp t
***** In the outside world, the whole stadium was pin-drop silent at this moment, with everyone staring at the views before them in a daze. The entire world had initially believed that Betic country would undoubtedly win this year’s competition, which had been a great shock. Many countries had even begun to mobilize their spokespersons to enter the country and build a close connection with Betic so that they could enjoy the limelight and goodies with them, but unexpectedly… very unexpectedly, the movement that had been rising nonstop with a crazy momentum abruptly stopped and began to move like that of a sloth. No one could react to this sudden turn of events. ***** “I told you guys not to count your blessings too soon, didn’t I? Hahaha!” In the leader’s cabin, within the capital city of Betic, Thomas, who had also been thunderstruck by the abrupt change of movement suddenly laughed arrogantly and irritatingly, breaking the pin-drop silence that had dominated the entire room. U
*****“Is this still the secret realm of we are in another place?” a still-pale and weak Williams, looking at the place that was no longer as vibrant as before, but seemed to be filled with a creepy and bloody aura couldn’t help but mumble with a tense expression.Sofia, at the side who appeared nervous and terrified swallowed hard and nodded her head.“We need to gather with the rest of the team as soon as possible,” she mumbled and Williams nodded in response after which he thought for a moment.“Do you perhaps have any means with which we could contact them?”“This…” Sofia’s face turned serious and she became frustrated. “I did not think it would be necessary to contact ourselves, so I did not bring any means of communication with me,” she uttered with a heavy voice, leaving Williams frowning.He remained like this for a moment, causing the heavy and tense atmosphere to become more intense until finally, he released a heavy sigh.“I should be able to find them,” he said, ast
*****“Elder brother, please not you, please—please, not you too!” A beautiful 23-24-year-old lady in blue track pants and a white top that had almost turned completely red due to blood was currently sobbing with agony as she shook the head of the 27-year-old man on her lap.The man, seeing how pitiful and devastated his younger sister was tried acting strong by forcing a smile, but the next moment, he spurted out blood all over his younger sister, and his complexion paled even more after which his already weakened breath became several times weaker and his eyes began to shut, badly scaring the lady.“No… no please, no please, don’t leave me,” she cried frantically and fearfully, trying to pry open the man’s eyes.In response, the weak and deathly-pale man also forcefully tried opening his eyes, however, he understood he couldn’t make it, given the ghastly hole located on his chest that had already drenched and soaked the ground underneath him with his blood, so he used the last oun
*****In a quiet landscape that would have been beautiful if not for the unbearable cold atmosphere and scenes around, three men dressed in purple stood together, with their leader wearing a purple jacket.Suddenly, they felt a slight discomfort for reasons they couldn't identify. However, confident in their strength, they merely smirked, dismissing the sensation while staring at the ice queen before them."I ordered that stupid brother of yours, to give you to me and only cripple himself, but he refused. So, how can you blame me for killing him?" the leader at the forefront of the group said to Jessica with a playful tone, licking his lips as he eyed her hourglass figure. He did not seem disturbed at all by her hateful gaze and the coldness she was emitting and Jessica, hearing the other party’s words fumed so much with rage and hatred, her chest heaving heavily.The following second, her eyes released a strong murderous intent a lady should never have and then she yelled. “You
*****Williams, noticing the disgusting gaze the other party was giving Sofia couldn’t help but knit his brows in disapproval.“Are you courting death?” he growled under his breath, his voice seething with unhidden rage, causing Sofia, who was initially feeling uneasy under the other party's gaze, to suddenly feel a sweet warmth blossom within her.As for the other man, Lucius, he stared at Williams for a brief moment after which he shrugged him off with a dismissive snort and turned his attention back to Sofia.“Why not come to me willingly, and I’ll let you live?” he teased playfully, his eyes shamelessly ogling Sofia's lovely figure.Sofia, seeing this repulsive and disgusting gaze once again became utterly disgusted. “Over my dead body,” She spat, glaringly ferociously at him.She thought Lucius would become infuriated, but to her astonishment, he only licked his lips, smiling excitedly like a deranged person.“How did you know that I have a thing for stubborn women?” he as
*****“What’s going on again?” Jennifer, who had just forced herself to rise to her feet, wanting to lend Williams a helping hand in order to be able to take care of Lucius suddenly mumbled in a trance to herself, gaping blankly at Lucius.Before she could think much, however, a horrific look appeared on Lucius.“You... you...” he pointed at Williams in disbelief, then the blade in his hand fell.“What... what did you do to me?” He asked with a heavy and tired voice, then with eyes filled with unwillingness, fell to the ground with a hard thud.“Hehehe, I know he’d be too easy for you to handle,” Sofia, who had been so nervous to the extent that she had been praying frantically in her mind, while clenching her fists abruptly mumbled, disrupting the silence that had settled in, after which she approached Williams.She had barely taken three steps, however when the flabbergasted Jennifer returned to her senses. “Has... has he died?” She carefully asked and Williams, suddenly pityi
