I stood by the roadside, my hand shaking so much I missed Ethan’s number several times.
As soon as the call connected, I burst into tears.
“Ethan, I’m scared. Come pick me up quickly…
Suddenly, a cloth covered my head.
Then, I lost consciousness,
When I woke up again, I was lying on a cold floor, without any strength in my body.

When I woke up again, I was lying on a cold floor, without any strength in my body.
The Commander was leaning against a leather sofa, his shiny leather boots swinging in the air.
“That beast is finally dead.”
“Miss Olivia, no matter how good your human luck is, you still can’t outsmart me~”
I caught the detail in his words.
Your human luck.
Could it be that the Commander wasn’t a pure–blood human?
He saw through my thoughts, pulling down his shawl, but there was no tail on his back.
“Guess what I am?”
He stuck out his tongue, using a small knife to cut away the excess part, revealing a snake’s forked tongue.
“Disgusting, isn’t it?”
“Having scum like me in power, Miss Olivia, why didn’t you die earlier?”
“You made the North District grow so many crops.”
He made an exaggerated gesture.
“People ate them and grew healthy and strong.”
“How annoying.”
He stepped on my head, applying
eat force, causing me to scream in pain.
“Only when pure–blood humans are extinct can we beast–people rightfully become the superior beings.”
“I went to great lengths, finally using that beast to kill you, but Ethan came back alive to save you.”
“You’re so lucky.”
The Commander emphasized.
“I want to cut you both into a thousand pieces!”
The door was kicked open.
Ethan burst in, his eyes full of frost.
“Don’t move.”
The Commander grabbed my neck.

“Although I have a good temper, it has its limits.”
“Ethan, there’s a knife here. See if you stab it into your own temple, or into Miss Olivia’s throat.”
He kicked the knife over, his gaze mocking.
Ethan clenched his fists, veins like swimming dragons coiled around his arms. His jawline tightened as he slowly picked up the long knife.
He looked at me, the blade facing outward.
The Commander laughed loudly seeing this.
“Miss Olivia, looks like you’ve been abandoned!”
Ethan approached me with a grim face.
In a flash, the long knife swung towards the man beside me.
The Commander was distracted trying to dodge.
Pleas
My body floated up, in the blink of an eye drifting behind Ethan. He put me on his back.
“Hold on tight, we’re fighting our way out.”
