Chapter 2187 A Pity for The Stronger Man

The journey had been a breeze, with no battles to fight until they reached the Innermost chamber of the stone hall. Magnus could feel a shiver running down hi spine as they entered.

The room was a scene of devastation. Crumbled walls, cattered bodies, and the stench of blood thick in

the air.

Some of the wounded still lay motionless on the ground, including Quintus, Solana, and Anna.

But one figure stood upright–Santiago, with his spear hand.

You’ve managed to push through after all!”

Santiago said slowly, “Well then, this place is yours now

With that, he gave a quick nod and turned to leave in haste, as if there were matters requiring his attention elsewhere

It wasn’t until his figure disappeared that the group saw Mackenzie crouching behind him, tending to the three injured.

Ms. Quillen!”

“Mackenzie!”

“Your Holiness!”

Hattie, Lexi, Aurora, and the others rushed over in relief, grasping Mackenzie’s hands tightly.

Seeing her unharmed was a balm for their tense hearts.

“Ms. Quillen, are you okay?”

“Thank god, you’re still alive!”

“The Wolf Warriors have captured the Five Poison Sect headquarters. We’ve won!”

It was only now that they could finally declare their victory.

It had been an extraordinarily grueling battle.

Mackenzie was relieved to see the reinforcements, but her joy was short–lived. Her gaze turned somber as she spoke. “I’m fine, but Quintus and the others are seriously injured, and Rhett…”

“What happened to Rhett?”

Aurora’s voice was laced with concern.

Dead and Mad of the Ophanim Clan hurried over.

“Quick, get someone to treat Quintus and the others. The rest of you, follow me!”

Mackenzie didn’t want to linger on explanations. She had to check on Rhett.

Rhen!

Dead and Mad Exclaimed.

Their voices faltered. Mackenzie’s eyes were filled with cars as she stepped toward him.

Once the uncontested ruler of Dark Night Island now stood rigidly with his arms stretched wide.

His body had stiffened, the life drained from him, and is blood had long since dried up.

He was left with a pair of resolute eyes lot ked on an unseen enemy.

“Rhett, thank you!”

Mackenzie’s voice broke as she gently cradled his unmoving form, her heart aching.

The other members of the Dark Night Island couldn’t hold back their tears.

After leaving the Dark Night Island, Saintess and Rhett Flynn were their pillars of faith. Yet, Rhett’s death was the end of an era for them.

Just then, Mackenzie trembled and lifted her head, pressing her cheek to Rhett’s chest once more.

“Rhett… H–he might not be dead yet!”

At her words, the others stopped their weeping instantly.

“But… Rhett isn’t breathing anymore!!”

Aurora gently probed Rhett’s breath, but there was no sign of life.

Mackenzie bit her lips and trembled. “But I can still feel his heartbeat. There’s a faint pulse. He might just be unconscious. He could still be saved. We need to get him back and give him the best treatment.”

“Yes, Your Holiness!”

Aurora and the others nodded, a flicker of hope ignited in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Santiago had left the Five Poison Sect headquarters and emerged from the entrance.

Despite the harsh wind and snow, he seemed no different from a bent, old drunkard. His Blizzard Silver Dragon Spear now served as a makeshift walking stick.

It was hard to reconcile that he had just held off countless elite fighters single–handedly.

In front of the cave, a narrow space led to a sheer cliff face.

Amidst the snowstorm, two women waited.

One of them stood out. Her red cloak billowed in the wind like a blooming flower in

Santiago took a sip of strong liquor to warm himself up before walking over to Isabella and handing her the boule. “Have some. It’ll warm you up!”

A brother–in–law was always fond of the sister–in–law. Santiago was no exception.

However, Isabella shook her head. “Santiago, we’re different. Don’t pretend we’re on the same side. No need for pleasantries.”

“You’re so cold!”

Santiago let out a rueful chuckle. “We’re still family, after all!”

Isabella looked at him for a long moment, a sigh of pity escaping her lips.

“What’s with that expression?” Santiago asked. “Are you sad about Janc?”

“Yes, I miss her. But this sigh is a sign of pity for you.” Isabella replied.

“For me?” Santiago shuddered before chuckling again, downing the rest of the liquor and wiping his mouth.

“Why do you pity me? My wife may have left this world but she’ll always live in my heart and my Peach Blossom House.”

“People only know her as Isabella, but only I know her real favorite was peach blossoms!”

Isabella silently observed him, her gaze hardening as she delivered a sharp retort. “Santiago, when will you stop deceiving yourself?”

Santiago’s smile froze. After a moment, he laughed again. “Deceiving myself? Who have I deceived?”

“You keep saying Jane lives in your heart. That’s self–deception!”

Isabella’s tone turned ice–cold. “By destroying the Five Poison Sect again, you’re deceiving the others!”

“What do you mean?” Santiago looked confused. “I’m lost!”

“Stop pretending to be confused. You can’t numb yourself with alcohol forever!” Isabella said coldly, “By destroying the Five Poison Sect, you’re trying to relive the time you saved Jane, right?”

Santiago fell silent.

Isabella pressed on. “But I’m sure you know whether needed to be saved or not. Although she promised to marry you, you know who she truly loved.”

In a flash, Santiago gripped his spear and pointed it at her throat. “Isabella, what are you talking about? Even though you’re Jane’s sister, you can’t speak to me like this!”

Even after battling the Five Poison Sect to save his disciple’s wife, he had never once considered hurting Isabella.

But now, her words pushed him to the edge as he pressed his Blizzard Silver Dragon Spear against her

throat.

She knew her place and understood she could not interfere in the clash of these fighters. No matter how heated the argument got, all she could do was watch.
