Chapter 1230
Even After Death
Olivia quickly left the scene when she saw that Kelvin and the others
were climbing up the tree.
She finally understood why Ethan lost his cool. It was because Kurt
was involved. Kurt's death was something that would haunt him for the
rest of his days.
Now that Olivia knew Wayne was the one who killed Kurt, her gaze
grew cold. It was all the more reason to end his life.
Undecim hadn't contacted her yet. He probably hadn't found Wayne
yet.
Olivia quickened her steps. There were people from two other countries
after Wayne besides them.
She analyzed the location of the two plane crashes. She was able to
get a rough estimate of Wayne's location based on where Ethan
landed.
He should be by the river!
Olivia ran toward the river in the dark. She was able to find the man
strapped to a parachute after traveling a short distance. He was also
unconscious, like Ethan.
The man was dressed in black, and his figure was well-built. His height
was similar to Ethan's.
His face looked especially pale under the moonlight.
It was the perfect chance!
She could stop this war if she took off his ring and killed him while he
was still knocked out.
She thought about the ring shown in the picture. It should be on the
ring finger of his left hand.
Olivia crouched next to him and reached for his left hand, but there was
nothing on his left hand. The ring was nowhere to be found!
That was impossible! That was such an important item that he always
carried on his person. Why would it be gone?
Olivia refused to accept that. She grabbed his right hand, but the ring
wasn't there either.
At that moment, she received a message from Undecim.
She responded resignedly, âThe good news is that I've found Wayne,
who's unconscious. The bad news is that he doesn't have the ring on
his finger."
She sent her location to Undecim and started to undress Wayne. Since
the ring wasn't on his finger, he might have hidden it somewhere more
discreet.â
Time was short, and the mission was important. Olivia didn't have the
luxury to consider the differences between men and women.
She reached out and pulled his clothes off. She was able to remove his
bulletproof vest without much trouble. His muscular frame was
revealed.
His physique was similar to Ethan's. There were also a lot of scars.
Since the ring wasn't on his upper body, it could only be on his lower
body.
She was relieved that she didn't kill Wayne on sight. If she couldn't find
the ring, she could concoct some sort of poison to force him to tell her
about the ring's whereabouts.
Before she could take his pants off, Wayne regained consciousness
abruptly.
His gaze turned vicious as soon as he opened his eyes. He
immediately pounced at Olivia.
He was able to pin her to the ground as she was completely
unprepared. He was like a beast that had just woken up. He was
exuding bloodlust from every pore of his body.
The moonlight shone from behind him. Olivia couldn't see his eyes but
could sense how terrifying they probably were.
She felt her skin crawl.
He pressed her back against the ground. Her tender skin was scraped,
and she could feel a searing pain.
That man didn't treat her as gently as Ethan did. He wrapped his
fingers around her neck.
Olivia was able to gauge the difference between their abilities very
clearly. She would probably be strangled to death before she could
reach for her gun.
The man had large hands, his palms full of calluses. It felt like a tiger
had its teeth around her neck. He could probably snap her neck in an
instant.
"Damn it... You're a woman?"
Wayne did everything reflexively. He didn't expect his assailant to be a
weak woman! The skin under his palm was soft and tender. They were
so close that he could clearly smell the faint fragrance of herbs on her
body.
"Who are you? What were you doing to me?"
