Dolcie came out of the room with a forced smile on her face.Seeing the girl, Rufus approached her and said. "Miss, are you okay? You don't have to do this if you don't want to!"His face showed that he didn't want to, but in his heart Rufus was grinning mischievously and triumphantly.He knew the girl was in a dilemma: she might not want to continue the marriage with a man she didn't love. But she wouldn't just ruin this wedding party."I will do it. I will marry you!" Dolcie said softly, lowering her head slightly, not looking very comfortable as she said those words.Hearing these words, Rufus screamed with joy in his heart. But he tried not to show his feelings too much."But on one condition! If you agree, we can go ahead with this marriage. But if not, there is nothing I can do to continue!" said Dolcie, this time with a firmer expression and tone than before.Rufus frowned. Even though he was sure that he would get this girl, his instincts still told him that there was a certai
"I-I..." Aaron couldn't finish his words. He burst into tears as he tried to tell what had happened to him.He was the only person to survive the burning of the old warehouse."I used all my strength to remove the ropes that bound my hands! I survived! Too bad I couldn't save them!"As he said these words, clear liquid kept pouring out of his eyes.He wanted to take revenge on Rufus. But he was surprised when all his people had submitted to the man's orders. He was too late. The influence of this foreign man was very strong in Amaro's palace."I can't go far from this place for fear that these Warriors will find me and kill me."For the past ten years, Aaron has been living in the remains of the old warehouse, surviving on whatever he can find in the woods.When Dolcie heard all this, her chest tightened. Her head looked like it would explode."How could I trust someone who lied to me all this time?" She screamed.Like Aaron, Dolcie wanted to take revenge on Rufus at first. But Aaron
Daniel descended to the ground and looked around, checking for any guards or Warriors nearby.Once he was sure the situation was safe, he walked to the corner of the building and approached the door that would lead him to the unused archive room.Daniel turned the doorknob, but it was locked. After Aaron had walked through that door earlier, he had indeed locked it.Daniel remembered what he had seen in Amelia's vision. "Miss Harper put the spare key here."Daniel checked a pile of books on a large shelf next to the door. He examined several books until he found a key that matched the one Aaron had used earlier.Daniel opened the seemingly weathered door and walked to the corner where the Tectona map painting was.Daniel used Harper's memory stored in Amelia's vision to figure out the code to unlock the door."I hope she didn't change the password!" Daniel whispered softly as he punched several numbers into the screen next to him.Beep! Beep! Beep!The door opened successfully.In a h
Inside the Humanorium.Creak!The sound of a door opening could be heard."Hmmm, not bad at all! This girl is really beautiful!" exclaimed an old man standing behind the door as he touched Dakota's hand. "Blonde hair always has a way of seducing! Hahaha!""Sir, I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the pleasure you can get from her!" Aaron said again."Bring her in!" The man then opened the door wide for Aaron to bring in his stretcher.Aaron placed Dakota on the bed. The girl, who seemed to be sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, probably had no idea what the old man was about to do to her.Then Aaron pushed his stretcher out of the room. "I'll have the servants bring you dinner, sir!""No need to rush! Let them come at dinnertime!""Very well, sir!"While he looked at Dakota with intense desire, the old man impatiently unbuttoned his nightshirt one by one.He had taken off all his clothes, leaving only his underwear on."My love, I've come!"The old man kissed Dakota's foot gree
"I know what kind of man Rufus is!" After recalling childhood memories that Rufus had previously sealed, including his memories of his biological father, Archibald didn't want to let these three individuals enter the mayor's building without backup."If he can fool me and all the Tectona nobles, and even all the city's residents, it won't be hard for him to get rid of us!"The three young men and women agreed with him. However, their worries grew stronger. "Mr. Amaro, Daniel is on his way to Rufus' location! He may have reached him by now!"Archibald looked surprised this time. "There is no doubt that the young man is the true hope and future of Tectona! I can't let him face the old man alone!" Archibald thought to himself.But then something crossed his mind. "I don't want to leave Daniel alone in there either. But if we go in unprepared, I'm sure that instead of helping Daniel, we'll just be risking our lives in vain!"Once again, the three young men and women agreed with his statem
Amelia, who had been silent until then, raised her hand."Amelia, please tell us what you're thinking," Archibald said, staring intently at the girl. For decades, ever since Hailie's death, he had felt that there would never be another with extraordinary abilities like hers.Unexpectedly, God had shown mercy to Tectona by giving them this young lady with similar powers.Everyone in the room was now fixated on the girl, holding their breath and hoping for an end to this chaos."Rufus is truly dangerous. Not only was he the mastermind behind the major crimes that occurred twenty years ago, but I'm convinced that he's the reason the Masked Warriors came and attacked our city! That's why it's useless to confront them. On the contrary, I think we should cooperate with them.Besides, despite Dakota's ability to defeat Rufus, the fact that she hasn't emerged from the underground yet suggests at least two things.First, the girl may be in trouble down there. Second, there is another figure fa
The corners of the old man's lips lifted slightly as he spoke these words.Although he did not raise his voice, the tone was dripping with mockery.Daniel took a moment before answering the old man's question."I..."Before he could continue, the old man was at Daniel's side in an instant."You infiltrated this place and you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into?" He said, a hand quickly reaching for Daniel's throat."Kid, you should think twice before trespassing!"The grip on Daniel's throat tightened."Damn, he's incredibly strong," Daniel thought. Using more than half of his inner strength, Daniel tried to free himself from the old man's grip.But the old man's fingers were like vise grips and Daniel couldn't move. The grip felt like an unyielding stone."Do you think you can challenge me with such feeble strength? You are dreaming," the old man taunted.With those words, he moved aside with ease.Bang!Daniel was thrown to the ground, several dozen meters away.Clutching
"Mr. Flavio, at first I thought that Harper's kidnapping was only related to Rufus. But after seeing you here, I'm convinced that everyone's suspicions were right all along! You're the one who took Harper! You're the real culprit!"With pain in his chest, Daniel said these words with a smile on his lips.Flavio's eyes widened and his chest expanded and contracted, as if he was suppressing his anger.Clenching his fists, he took a step toward Daniel.But after a few steps he stopped."I admit you're smart enough to know what the fools couldn't figure out decades ago! And since you're going to die today, I'll tell you a little bit."Back to twenty years ago.The final battle for new members of the Security Division had just ended.One girl stepped down from the podium after receiving her awards and being officially inducted as a new member.She was Harper Amaro, the most beautiful and talented girl in Tectona at the time.Casually strolling, Harper made her way to the backyard of the Ci
