Chapter 34-3

The plane made an emergency landing at Shadow Fortress. As the plane door opened, the people from the Fortress greeted Danielle with deep respect, bowing in unison. "Miss Darling."

Danielle glanced at them, her tone steady. "Do what you need to do. I’ll stay at the Fortress for a while."

The team admired her composure. ’The bomb almost destroyed the plane, and Miss Darling was so calm, like she wasn’t bothered at all.

Everyone stepped back, and Aiden and Denny walked over.

"Miss Darling, you’re here."

"It’s been a while."

"Mm." Danielle’s cold demeanor hadn’t softened.

When Danielle wasn’t around, Aiden and Denny managed the Fortress. They were always respectful, reporting on the Fortress’s situation.

"Miss Darling, there’s a new virus spreading at the border, called IV2."

"It starts with flu-like symptoms: fever and red spots on the skin. As it progresses, skin lesions start to rot, and internal organs are affected, leading to organ failure. The virus is highly contagious."

This virus had spread from a research institute under the control of the Wulf Clan, and no cure had been found yet.

Denny handed Danielle a protective mask. "Several of our men at the Fortress have been infected. They’re quarantined now."

Danielle put on her mask, revealing a pair of eyes that sparkled like stars. They were even more captivating than before. "Take me there," she said.
