Even someone like Eternity felt true fear in the face of impending doom. After all, there were few who could remain calm when knowing they were about to die.Yet, her pleas fell on deaf ears, unable to receive Ivy and the other women's forgiveness.Ivy said, "What's done is done, Eternity. What you should do now is to face the consequences bravely. Regardless of how you choose to face the matter, your fate is set in stone."Helen added, "Everything you've done over the years is enough to merit your departure from this world. Nobody can do whatever they wish without facing the consequences."Faced with the woman's determination, Eternity lowered her head. At the end of the day, she was still a person who failed to free herself from her natural instincts, no matter how capable she was."I don't want to die…”Eternity trembled as she spoke, her head lowered. She sounded extremely helpless as though she was trying to make a final plea.Adrian saw this and remained silent for a while

At three in the afternoon, Adrian led Alan, Blaze, and the others back to Azure Creek's headquarters as Helen brought her sisters to Novemton to accept Crystal's assignment.Before parting ways, Helen, Louisa, Ivy, and the others promised they would go out for barbeque and beers and gaze at handsome men after they returned from Serpent's Haven.***The group arrived at Azure Creek two hours later.Upon arriving, Gloria, Mya, Alan, Blaze, and the others remained on high alert. They sat together, intently studying the map of Serpent's Haven as Lena bombarded them with intel about the place.Meanwhile, Glovern at Drogoton was building containers out of bertrandium as quickly as possible for the paradrop. Everyone in the company was busy with their respective tasks.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Gracia, who told him that they had completed the containers required for the paradrop and wanted him to test them out.Adrian rushed off to Drogoton upon receiving the call.

Night gradually fell, and the sky turned dark.At that moment, many people in Novemton were closely following the operation at Serpent's Haven. Lucas and the others had been trapped there for two days, making that night the final chance for them to be rescued.Glovern did as Adrian requested and fully modified the airdrop containers, while the meteorology department closely observed the weather changes at Serpent's Haven.Back at Azure Creek's headquarters, Blaze and the others were all ready and waiting for their orders. Meanwhile, Tempest-1 arrived and hovered above Drogoton before making its landing. After that, more than a dozen cargo trucks rushed out and headed for Glovern to pack up the containers inside.That night, Crystal, the elders, the secretary, and other core members sat inside Novemton’s main hall. They anxiously waited for that night's operation to commence. This was a secret operation that not even Novemton had announced to the public. Although Novemton was fundam

The Tempest-1 soared across the skies, carrying everyone's hopes for the future.The communicators were radio silent, but everyone was paying close attention to the operation.Novemton had already picked out the best reporters to ride on choppers with cameras at hand. They were going to record everything that happened in Serpent's Haven from every angle for all of Navia to watch.At eleven o'clock, Tempest-1 finally landed at Azure Creek's headquarters, where Ivy, Alan, Blaze, and the others were all lined up and ready to board. As soon as the aircraft landed, Adrian and Gloria walked out and stood before everyone.Adrian said, "We'll begin the operation shortly. I don’t have anything special to say this time, but I want all of you to remember that from now on, every step you take isn't for your own sake.""Yes sir!" everyone responded.Adrian then asked, "Have you written your wills?"Everyone nodded.Seeing this, he said, "In that case, we're all set to depart. Lena, have you

The darkness of the night continued on.Adrian and the others were quietly sitting inside Tempest-1. Ivy, Eira, Nyssa, and the other women were very calm. There was a chance that they may die on the island, making that place their final destination. At that moment, they were all wondering why they were doing this tonight.Perhaps, it was for that shred of dignity they have, or for the sake of having a warm family.Adrian suddenly asked, "Nyssa, did you call your brother and tell him about what you're doing before you left?"Nyssa looked up when she heard this. "I talked to Terry on the phone, but I didn't tell him I'm coming here so that he wouldn't worry about me."Adrian smiled and replied, "Good luck. Make him proud of you and aspire to be like you."Nyssa smiled and nodded. "I will. This is the first time I'm on a mission filled with pride. I finally feel like I’m useful.”Adrian nodded, while the others exchanged looks and all laughed at the same time.He then continued, "
