After receiving the signal, Arren swapped her hat. Carefully, she walked down to reach the back door of the theater.When the stage lights returned to normal, Arren's bodyguards didn't seem to suspect her whereabouts. This is because the hat that is identical to their master can still be seen sticking out from behind the audience seats.Guards are only allowed to enter and stay in the back corner of the theater so they do not disturb other guests who are currently enjoying the show.Arren used this to trick them and sneak away without being detected.After leaving the theater, Arren entered a dark and quiet hallway that connected the Opera House to a small alley that led to the main street.Arren ran to quickly escape and blend into the crowd so that the guards, who noticed her absence, could not track her.After a while, Arren finally arrived at the center of the crowd. She tried to continue walking towards the night market and looked for clues that could lead her to the secret trader

The police officers, along with Arren's guards, were tracking the leader of the secret traders who had disappeared. This woman was also the prime suspect in the disturbance case at Leon's nightclub.Leon checked the tracking device he had on Arren, but the device had also disappeared."Damn! Where is that device?!" he grumbled with seething anger. It seemed that Leon was being played by a fate that infuriated him."I won't forgive any of you if something happens to Arren!" Leon shouted at the guards assigned to protect his beloved. The man couldn't tolerate the monumental failure of this guard team."Forgive us, Boss!"Their apologies were brushed aside as Leon was genuinely worried about Arren's uncertain whereabouts.They continued their search, venturing into the dark corners of the capital. The tension grew because they knew the fugitives they were chasing were dangerous individuals."Arren, please...," Leon couldn't shake his worry and confusion in tracking Arren's whereabouts. Th

The man who found Arren immediately checked her pulse.With a racing heart, he felt panic as he saw Arren's critical condition.Without hesitation, he quickly applied pressure to Arren's stab wound to stop the heavy bleeding and tried to calm himself as much as possible.The man skillfully used his scarf to bandage Arren's wound. This was to control the bleeding and apply pressure to the injured area.The man tried to stay focused on providing first aid, even though his hands were now covered in blood."Arren... please, hang in there," he murmured, his voice filled with hope and concern for the girl in his arms.After providing the best first aid he could, the man immediately carried Arren to his car.Before heading to the hospital, he needed to ensure that no traces were left at the scene.Once he felt it was safe, the man carefully evacuated Arren from the life-threatening situation that had brought her to the brink of death.The man was part of the secret merchants who were supposed

After conducting a detailed search, Leon's men found a hospital that received patients with stab wounds several hours ago.Leon immediately went to the hospital. However, the nurses and security team prevented him from entering and examining the patient mentioned."Are you her family?" asked the nurse firmly."Yes!" Leon answered with a shout.He immediately broke through the main door to go to the intensive care room."Catch him!" the nurse shouted at the security team on guard.They immediately arrested Leon, who came alone without an escort."Sir! Don't make things difficult for us! Show us proof that you are Arren's family. A guardian is already waiting for her. You cannot replace the guardian unless you're her husband!" shouted the nurse, who looked annoyed at Leon's behavior.The man's face darkened. "Someone, you say?" he repeated angrily."Who is the bastard who has been with my lover? How dare!" Leon shouted as if he was losing patience."Go away! If you are not her husband!"

In the gripping darkness, the wounded prisoners slowly began to open their eyes.Firstly, the woman who led the X merchant group, Linn. She started to move her fingers.Despite still feeling pain, Linn quickly regained her senses and remembered the recent tragic events.“Arrgh...” Linn groaned while surveying her surroundings.She saw nothing except a dimly lit room with makeshift medical equipment that had saved them from a deadly accident a while ago.But a moment later, she noticed something from the symbols adorning the walls.“This...,” she muttered, her voice trembling.As her awareness returned, she began to piece things together.“Isn’t this Ironcamp?” Linn guessed her current location, recalling the swastika symbols and devil’s horns, the symbols of the dark kingdom’s boss, Napoli Toredo.“You’ve awakened, it seems,” Napoli said sharply, with a faint, mocking smile.The prisoners were in an emergency facility in the Thunderon Mountains, owned by Napoli.“Shh... Be quiet!” he g
