NovelBarKurt's gloomy expression grew more intense.
Just when he was about to shove her aside, two figures appeared from the trail all of a sudden.
“Do you think the commander's plan will work? After all, she's Yariel Jadeson's daughter. Will it be all
right if we release her?”
“We should be. Don't forget that she has been fed the worms. Once she is released, she won't even
remember her name, let alone the fact that we're here.”
Both of them chatted as they walked out.
Meanwhile, Kurt was dumbstruck when he heard their conversation.
What do they mean by feeding her with worms? These animals! What did they do to her?
Losing his cool, he fell into a fit of rage. The very next second, he cut one of them down in a flash while
quickly subduing the other.
“What were you talking about? What did you do to her?”
Overwhelmed with fury, Kurt gritted his teeth so hard that he almost shattered them.
Terrified by Kurt, the man answered in a trembling voice, “I-I didn't do it. It was the commander's
decision. T-The girl discovered our secret. Hence, we had to either kill her or... or feed her with worms!”
Crack!
As a spatter of blood gushed out, the man died at the hands of Kurt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDisregarding Lucy's protest and the objections of Ian and Matteo over the earpiece, Kurt charged
ahead with his dagger in hand, which still had fresh blood dripping off it.
By the time he caught sight of Vivian, she was lying motionless on a rudimentary-looking stretcher that
was being carried by a group of men.
Immediately, Kurt's eyes turned bloodshot.
“Put her down!” he thundered without a care for his own safety.
Holding his dagger, he then threw himself at his enemy.
In the blink of an eye, the group of men who were carrying Vivian had their throats slit before they even
realized what was going on.
“Quick! Inform the commander at once!”
As for the rest of the survivors, they dropped Vivian in panic before fleeing back into the hills to call for
reinforcements.
However, there was no way Kurt would allow them to escape.
He knew that after being fed with those vile creatures, the only way Vivian could ever recover was for
him to find the antidote, or else she would never be cured.
Consequently, he killed another two men.
Just when he was about to continue his slaughter, Lucy cried out to him, “Kurt, stop killing! Let's hurry
back with Vivi first. As I have not seen these men before, we have to find my uncle and the royal
family!”
Nevertheless, it was already too late. A few of the survivors had gone back to report the incident.
Therefore, the entire group that had been hiding for almost twenty years swarmed out at once.
“He's from Elysium!”
“That's right. He has a chiseled jaw, and that means he's part of the royal family! He's one of them!”
After the last sentence escaped the person's mouth, all of them were stricken with panic that swiftly
spread through the entire mountain.
Kurt ignored their words. It was not until he was exhausted from killing that he noticed four familiar
figures by his side.
At that moment, all of them were drenched in blood, just like him.
No one could tell if the blood belonged to them or the enemy.
“You guys...”
“Kurt, you've acted impulsively. Since Mr. Hayes has assigned us to protect Ms. Vivian, there's no way
we would let her come to harm. Her brave actions have allowed the situation here to be transmitted via
a hidden camera back to her brothers and Mr. Jadeson.” Back to back with Kurt, a member of SteelFort
reprimanded him when he saw he had regained his senses.
After that, he related everything that had happened.
She's all right, then?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment he heard their explanation, the panic he felt in his initially shattered heart began to
gradually dissipate.
Earlier, he had lost control of himself when the fear of losing her had overwhelmed him.
In fact, the thought of her forgetting him after being fed the insidious worms had terrified him beyond
belief.
Pursing his lips, Kurt slowly recovered his composure.
“Fine. In that case, you should take her back while I cover the rear.” After regaining his senses, he
calmly made a decision.
However, the SteelFort member's expression drastically changed.
“We can't allow that. Now that they know you're a member of the Elysium royalty, they will seek to kill
you. Hence, you're inviting your own death if you stay here,” he expressed his disagreement angrily.
As for the other three members, they too rejected the idea.
All this while, SteelFort's culture was similar to that of a large family. Even though they were an
organization of assassins under the Hayes family, all of them shared a tight bond, unlike other cold and
calculated organizations.
Thus, they would never allow any one of them to go on a suicidal path, especially when they had
personally watched Kurt grow up.
In spite of that, Kurt disregarded their objections when he saw the increasing number of enemies
swarming toward them. Furthermore, they were all equipped with modern firearms and explosives.
