Yerick raised his hand to stop them, his grin morphing into a slightly crazed smirk. Running his hand

along the handle of the suitcase, be drawled, “Do you think you can threaten me?”

“Joshna

“You’re still so nATV…”

Yerick enunciated each word slowly, not perturbed in the slightest by the knife at his throat. Instead, he

issued a command, ” Break Cynthia’s leg.”

“If anyone touches her, I will kill him instantly.” Joshua drew the knife a little deeper.

However, this threat did not deter the others as planned.

They aimed their guns at Cynthia’s legs. In a flash, Cynthia acted swiftly, sn atching one man’s gun and

knocking him to the ground! Capitalizing on the moment of surprise, she pushed Jayleen over the cliff

edge and called out to Nadia below, “Get her safely back to Nexuria!”

“What about you?” Nadia asked her.

She did not expect Cynthia to be revealed as ‘k’. When she got on the yacht and left the signal-

jamming area, she opened her computer, intending to track down her mentor, hoping she could find

some information. Instead, she found the unexpected letter her mentor had sent to her.

It was then…

She found out that Cynthia was “k”, her mentor. Recalling Yerick’s words, she turned back, all to save

her.

However, now.

She passed Jayleen to her, but she did not come down hersell!

Nadia called out to Cynthia again, only to be answered by Cynthia’s retreating figure. Nadia pulled

Jayleen from the water and climbed onto the still-moving yacht. She looked back at the people on the

cliff and finally cried out, “Mentor!”

Cynthia did not look back

She knew she could not leave. If either she or Joshua left, Yerick would immediately order his men to

open fire.

However, Jayleen was unrelated to this mess, and Nadia had once helped Yerick. Yerick would, due to

Nadia’s sake, turn a blind eye and let them go.

Indeed, Yerick was of the same mind. He had contemplated taking Jayleen with him to the grave, but

now that she was gone, he was resigned to the fact. “I should have known you were “K. Yerick smiled

wider. “You should count yourself fortunate that you stayed. Otherwise, you’d be riddled with bullets by

now.”

“Yerick, you can lessen your sentence if you call off your men. There’s nothing worth dragging so many

people into this with you,” Cynthia said, every word clear and precise,

A low chuckle emerged from his chest, his lips curving in amusement. He seemed very pleased.

“Sentenced? No one can sentence me,” Yerick finally spoke

A crease appeared between Cynthia’s brows, Yerick was unperturbed by the knife Joshua leld to his

throat, cautioning him instead, “You’d better be careful with that knife. If you accidentally kill me, this

entire island will explode,”

have you done?” A wave of dread surged within Cynthia

“I haven’t done anything. I’ve just planted quite a bit of explosives around this island. If my vital signs

cease, the detonation switch will activate,” Yerick spoke slowly,

Madman! Cynthia was convinced that he had lost his sanity.

Yerick continued his nonchalant conversation, “Joshua, do you know why I asked you to sit by the sea

all night?

“Because of Dand. On the day her boyfriend was sentenced to death, she sat by the sea all night in a

thin white dress,” he paused, emnation finally creeping into his voice.

Joshua did not understand what this had to do with him. He was simply biding his time, waiting for the

others to arrive.

“You are the root cause of all this,” Verick turned to look at him, blood trickling from a small cut on his

neck, which he seemed to disregard. “You reported to the police. You provided the leads. You caused

the death of her boyfriend and her.”
