Sheryl was walking in the front.

Alex was behind her.

Catherine was the third, and Denver was in the last as they explored the caves after he had opened up the closed path.

The air hung thick and damp, tasting of mildew and something ancient, something that made the back of Catherine’s throat itch.

She was unconscious before, so the eerie atmosphere now gave her chills.

In the front, Sheryl was holding a makeshift torch, with the flickering flames painting grotesque shadows on the cave walls, which freaked Catherine out even more.

Alex moved with a practiced grace, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

“Denver, this place smells rotten and metallic,” Catherine complained. “I don’t think I can bear it for long.”

“Just vomit once more then,” Sheryl casually dismissed her words.

“Yeah, if I do, I’ll do it on your face,” Catherine replied.

Alex, who was in their middle, was just not able to focus because of these two. Suddenly, his nose jerked a little.

“Wait…” He stopped. “Smell tha

    As the five members of the special slave squad were in serious discussion, the door suddenly opened, and Diane entered the toilet room.There was nobody in the room.She washed her face and stood before the mirror.Her makeup was all gone now, and she didn’t appear as pretty as she did a few seconds ago.“Why can’t I like my normal face anymore?”Out of frustration, she punched the mirror with her bare hand.The mirror broke, and her hand bled.“Where did things start going wrong?” She thought back of all the incidents. “Yeah, it was after my dad died. Since then, I haven't had anybody to put brakes on my thoughts.“If he was alive, I’d have married Denver and already had kids by now. I’d have been restricted to home just like my mother.“But my situation right now isn’t better, either. I’m alone. Still, I can turn things around if I play my cards right. Leo is a card I can’t lose. I have to make a deep impression on him, but I can’t do that through ordinary means. He seems to have co

    Fighting dozens of high-level rankers wasn’t easy for Sheryl.Their skill was one thing, but the shitty smell they all exuded was a whole different thing.Clashing with these men and women donning discolored clothes in itself proved quite difficult for her.She had to shut off her sense of sight and smell.Even with her eyes closed, she was able to fight them and get accustomed to their pace.Within a few minutes, she dealt with all of them, not counting the ones that broke free from Tyron’s hypnosis spell and ran away.In the end, she killed 14 people and severely injured 28 more.But she only suffered minor scratches, though she did have to spend a lot of energy to finish them off quickly.Nevertheless, she was still on guard.“Huff, huff, there could be more people who have infiltrated this place. I have to do a clear search before returning to the port.”Back at the kitchen building.Catherine entered the main hall, only to be shocked seeing the destruction and death everywhere.A

    A faint noise was all Alex heard. Before he could react, a sword sliced his head off his neck.The darkness cleared, and Tyron’s assistant Birka appeared. She looked a bit slimmer than she did a few minutes back.“This is the fifth one,” Birka said while frowning, “but…” Birka saw Alex’s head turn into wood. “A-A wooden clone?”At the same time, Sheryl received the information as to what happened to Alex’s clone she prepared.She immediately sent signals to both Denver and Catherine and sent them a mental message, “I was right. Tyron’s group is here. Some of them are in the kitchen. The others seemed to be assassinating all the locals of Rose Park!”Denver and Catherine looked at each other. They had thought Sheryl was being overly cautious when she created clones of Alex and also of the residents of Rose Park, but now, they felt quite relieved.“I can’t leave this place abruptly,” Denver told Sheryl. “So, I’ll leave Tyron to you.”Sheryl gladly obliged and left the port in a hurry.E

    Sheryl was talking with Jordan Wang, a steel manufacturing company owner.And she felt some of her energy rippling inside her body.This broke her concentration, and she wondered, “This feeling… did some of the basic puppets I made die?”There were multiple ways in which she could create puppets. Depending on the level of those puppets, they could look quite similar to humans, and if they were to get destroyed, Sheryl would automatically know what happened.However, the puppets she made in the basement of Rose Tower were low-leveled ones, which were only good at fighting.So, Sheryl didn’t realize that those puppets were wrecked by Sedrick.“You don’t publicly trade your steel, so how about you join us?” Sheryl asked Jordan. “We can build new cars and armored vehicles on our own.”“Do you have quality engineers on your side?” Jordan asked.“Yep. We have a super computer ready to optimize all our work,” Sheryl told him. “I can assure you that your market cap will triple in two years.”

    Sheryl brought Jewel King Kelton and left him with Alex. “Take him to the basement of Rose Tower.”“You won’t get away with doing this,” Kelton spoke in a painful voice. His face was all swollen because of the thrashing he had received. “Mickey will surely make you regret harming me!”Sheryl punched him in the face again, expecting to knock him out.But Kelton was still conscious. “I will kill you with my own hands.”Alex quickly took Kelton away.“This pig sure has ridiculous durability,” Sheryl thought. “Why did Mickey send him here tonight? Was he planning on using Kelton as bait? Well, we’re going to make full use of Kelton.”Sheryl then went to talk to other guests.“If you want me to support you, you just have to do one thing, Mr. Denver,” Leander of the Shadow Consortium was talking with Denver in a polite tone, “give me your assistant.”“You mean Sheryl?” Denver frowned. “I won’t force her.”“You won’t force her? What kind of a boss are you?” Leander expressed unconcern toward

  • CHAPTER 384

    Darrell and his daughter Bianca Gozard who worked for the Den bank were both looking at each other after Denver gave a brief speech about the main reason for calling everyone wasn’t just to celebrate the opening of the port but to join Denver’s family.“Dad, did he really say he’ll bring a two trillion dollar investment for our bank?” Bianca asked him. “Look at the people’s reactions, there’s not much positivity floating around here.”Darrell didn’t look happy, either. He had always maintained his distance from all the secret factions as he didn’t want to be targeted by any specific group. This was why the public didn’t even know much about him.So, Darrell didn’t like the idea of becoming a part of whatever family Denver was talking about building.Denver did not give a long speech, unlike how many expected. He did not even elaborate himself on the idea of the ‘family’ he talked about.After coming down from the stage, Catherine could see the people talking nonstop.“Are you giving t
