Katrine Blackwell had been born in a rather rich environment, taken care of while being spoiled, respected as the young miss, yet when the time truly came to show their affection and unity as a family, they all abandoned her, even her own father and great grandfather.
Though she could see that they tried rescuing her, they still abandoned her in the end... That was an irrefutable fact!
"For the family, huh?" Katrine Blackwell mumbled but a mocking smile spread across her lips.
Jackson Lars couldn’t say anything to her mumbling, instead, he saw the unconscious Imryll and tried to wake her up through calling her.
However, Imryll Berilan was still unconscious.
Katrine Blackwell also noticed his tone. It was just like how he called her.
With how they reacted to each other, it didn’t take her much to discover that Imryll, her hated rival could also be her husband’s woman.
However, this woman, Imryll Berilan had also tried to save her in that hopeless situation.
One one side, her family had abandoned her and on the other, her hated rival had tried to save her.
She didn’t even know what to feel anymore.
Jackson Lars turned his gaze towards Nina and spoke, "Ah, benefactor, can you please help me wake her up?"
Nina was startled before she spoke, "Me? Benefactor? I am not!"
Jackson Lars turned confused, "Are you not with that raven-shaped golden masked person?"
Nina hurriedly shook her head. However, she regained her bearings and stepped towards Imryll. Even without the raven-shaped golden masked person’s words, she would still help them!
This feeling was all the more when she was unable to help them a while ago before the raven-shaped golden masked person appeared.
She checked Imryll Berilan for some time before waking her up using a forceful method.
Imryll Berilan coughed as she woke up. Instantly, her face turned hostile as she tried to kill Nina, however, Nina effectively grasped her hands and twisted it to her back, rendering her unable to move in a short period of time.
With Imryll being injured, she was unable to muster any essence energy to counterattack, only left to struggle.
"Imryll! Stop!" Jackson Lars shouted and only then did Imryll stop struggling. She then panned her head to realize the situation.
When she saw all those who threatened her existence were all dead while the main one was frothing like a drain, she heaved a sigh of relief.
All the power in her limbs left and at the same time, Nina released her, causing her to collapse to the floor.
"Imryll, are you okay!?" Jackson Lars’s yelled as he asked. He found it immensely uncomfortable to be not able to move.
"I’m fine..." Imryll wryly laughed, "Maybe if you hadn’t shouted at that time, I would’ve been able to kill him in one strike..."
Jackson Lars turned embarrassed, even guilty. He could have not shouted her name but at that time, he was in despair that no one came to help.
Fortunately, there was a raven-shaped golden masked person who suddenly appeared to save his marriage.
When he imagined what would’ve happened if that person didn’t appear, a chill crept up his spine causing him to not even want to think about it.
Imryll wryly chuckled as she looked at the aftermath and then stopped her gaze at Katrine for a while.
She then curiously looked at Nina.
"I’m curious, how are we still alive?"
Imryll was almost sure that her life was going to be miserable from this point onwards but when she opened her eyes, she had been saved by some unknown factors. Other than wanting to know how she survived, she was still wary of her surroundings, including this unknown woman who she didn’t know the name of!
For all she knew, this could be an illusion!
As a member of the Berilan Family who was skilled in creating illusions, she did not want to make a mistake of trusting the fake!
When Nina was about to explain that she had no part in this, two figures suddenly appeared beside her, giving her a ton of fright. Her heart had almost leaped out of her throat!
Imryll too flinched as she stepped back in fear and caution, however, a joyous shout echoed in the hall.
"Benefactor!!" Jackson Lars shouted as he looked at the rave-shaped golden masked person who had saved him.
However, he turned confused when he saw another curvaceous figure beside his benefactor, wearing the same raven-shaped golden mask.
’Could it be that they belong to a mysterious group?’ He couldn’t help but think.
’Whoever dared to offend Arc Song Mercenaries should at least be a King Grade Power or near King Grade Power...’ He additionally thought but couldn’t guess which organization they belonged to.
A feeling of wanting to join that group other than wanting to become apprenticed to his benefactor suddenly sprung up in his heart. However, he didn’t dare to ask for the time being.
Princess Isabella’s gaze landed on Nina and she saw that there had been no harm that had befallen her. She inwardly heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t bother about her anymore.
Instead, she silently stood beside Davis, waiting for his response and opinion. As for taking that youth body away, she decided not to ask since she felt that he should have his own considerations.
Their deal had ended but she felt that she didn’t do a proper job in protecting them, especially about the matter of that poor youth who had been named Glyn, so she couldn’t help but be passive for a while thinking that she could help some more.
Davis moved his gaze to Young Leader Baris, his gaze cold to the extreme. He had wanted to take his time torturing this person to death, however, since he had to return back to protect the others, he quickly fed him poison and returned.
Now, just when he thought of feeding him the antidote to torture him through more methods, he heard Jackson Lars speak up.
"Benefactor! I can guess that this matter you came for does not concern us but this man over here." Jacksons Lars’s gaze landed on Young Leader Baris as he slightly twitched.
"However, if that person’s life isn’t needed, can I kill him myself?"
When Jackson Lars spoke again, Davis could feel deep hatred within those words.
Jackson Lars hopefully looked at Davis. However, he didn’t think his request would be granted in any case.
He and Katrine Blackwell were probably nobodies in the eyes of this raven-shaped golden masked person, so he thought that they came for capturing the son of Jawan, maybe even kill him.
If it was the former, he might not be granted a chance but if it’s the latter, then he would be granted a chance, although he could not see why they would give their target to him.
Even so, he tried to ask since he had a personal vendetta against the frothing bastard!
Davis considered for a moment before his soul sense traveled towards Jackson Lars’s body.
He could see the paralysis poison inhibiting Jackson Lars’s nerves while stopping the energy from circulating as there were many black blockages formed in those meridian channels.
It only took him a second to analyze the nature of the poison and its original composition, albeit with a slight amount of difference.
However, with his comprehension of poisons from the time he spent to help Evelynn, it was easy for him to concoct an antidote.
Nevertheless, he didn’t intend to do so. Instead, he headed towards Young Leader Baris.
