Chapter 120
Shawn remained silent for several long moments as he studied Miles from across the cargo station.The confidence he had displayed throughout the entire confrontation was still present, but it had undeniably weakened. A small crack had appeared in the certainty he had relied upon ever since revealing his betrayal.His eyes drifted toward the corpse lying several meters behind him.The mercenary hadn't even been given an opportunity to react.One moment he had been standing alongside the others. The next, a dagger had punched through his eye socket and buried itself deep within his skull.The man had died before his brain could even register the attack and even till now the sight left an unpleasant feeling in Shawn's stomach.For the first time since taking control of the situation, doubt entered his mind.The scout was missing.The rifleman was missing.The A-rank hunter was missing.Now another man was dead….killed right before his eyes by the person once considered as an insignifican

Miles glanced around the room.His eyes moved across the wounded hunters.Across Alexis.Across Halmer.Across the blood staining the floor.Then he looked back at Shawn."Actually..."The faintest trace of amusement appeared in his eyes."I think taking this job was your real mistake."The moment the words left his mouth, Shawn's patience shattered."Kill him."The command exploded through the cargo station.A mage positioned near the rear immediately reacted.Mana surged violently around his body as several glowing magic circles materialized in front of him.The surrounding air distorted from the sudden rise in temperature."Fire Burst!"Dozens of flaming projectiles erupted forward.The fireballs screamed through the air like miniature meteors, illuminating the cargo station in flashes of orange and gold.The heat alone was enough to force nearby hunters to shield their faces.Alexis' eyes widened.The attack was fast.Far too fast for an ordinary porter.Yet before the flames reac

The projectile continued across the room before striking something behind him. THUNK! The impact was sickening and violent. For a moment, nobody moved. Shawn slowly turned around. One of his mercenaries stood frozen several meters behind him. The man looked down in confusion. A dagger was buried completely inside his eye socket. The force behind the throw had punched through bone and driven the blade straight through his skull. The tip protruded from the back of his head. Blood streamed down his face. His mouth opened as if trying to speak. No words came out. A second later, his body collapsed lifelessly onto the floor. Silence. Absolute silence. The entire cargo station froze. Even Shawn's smile vanished. For several long seconds, nobody spoke. The only sound was the distant dripping of water somewhere deep within the underground tunnels. Then came footsteps. Each step echoed clearly through the darkness. Everyone instinctively turned toward the tunn

Chapter 115
Alexis stood motionless.It wasn't because Shawn's mercenaries had surrounded her.It wasn't because the poison coursing through her veins was steadily draining the strength from her body.It was because every word Shawn had spoken had struck directly at wounds she had spent years trying to bury.For a brief moment, her grip on her swords loosened.Her breathing became uneven as memories she had fought desperately to suppress resurfaced one after another.She saw her parents.She saw her grandfather, growing weaker with each passing year despite his efforts to hide it from her.She saw the hunters who had died during the expedition.The healer being dragged screaming into the darkness by the spiders.The wounded men scattered throughout the station.Halmer lying in his own blood.So many people.So much loss.So much failure.No matter how desperately she wanted to reject Shawn's words, a small voice deep inside her mind whispered the question she feared the most.What if he was right
