Ordinarily, the lights in the villa should be turned on at this hour. The two wondered just why the lightswere off instead and thought about the possibility that there wasn't anyone in the villa at the moment.

Ordinarily, the lights in the villa should be turned on at this hour. The two wondered just why the lightswere off instead and thought about the possibility that there wasn't anyone in the villa at the moment.

The two made eye contact with one another and noticed that they were both worried about the situationas they wondered just what had happened there. Silently, they sneaked into the quiet room and wentup to the second floor.

Then, they heard Ellen begging from the door. "Please, let me go…"

Something did happen, Jewel thought as she felt her heart sink in an instant. She made eye contactwith Alex before quieting her footsteps. As an assassin, she had a certain degree of acuity. With hereyes locked on the room, she swiftly made her way to the door and placed her ear against the door tolisten to the conversation.

Inside, a man's voice said viciously, "Cut the crap and write. Write that you are now at peace with yourrevenge achieved, so there's nothing tying you to life. Say that with your brother's reconciliation andEugene having his own family, you have nothing to worry about anymore, so you'll be taking your leavefirst."

Another man added, "Casper, can someone even fall to their death from the second floor?"

The man called Casper said, "You really think that she'll fall to her death? We only need to make itseem like it. After all, she was supposed to be dead for a long time now. She's only been living onborrowed time all these years!"

Then, two loud slapping sounds rang out and Casper yelled, "Hurry up and write it! What are youlooking at?"

"Stop it, don't hit me. Ah—" Ellen cried out in pain.

Outside the door, Jewel couldn't hold herself back any longer. With ferocity in her eyes, she kicked thedoor wide open which resulted in a loud bang. With the door flung open, the men inside werefrightened as they turned their heads to the door.

"What? Who is it?"

With a darkened expression, Jewel entered and found that there were around eight large men dressedin the clothes of the bodyguards of Promise Island. Each of them was holding some sort of weapon—some were staves, while some were knives. Is this treason or are they pretending to be someone fromPromise Island?

Held at knifepoint, Ellen was at the table with a pen with several men standing menacingly behind her.Upon noticing it was Jewel, she yelled, "Jewel, don't come here. Leave, quickly leave."

However, there wasn't a chance in a million that Jewel would leave her behind. Feeling sorry for her,she shouted at Ellen, "Godmother, don't worry." Then, she turned her attention toward the group ofmen, her eyes filled with killing intent. "Release her."

The men looked at each other before they all laughed out loud.

"A lone woman who can't even speak well wants to rescue someone? Since you came to die, thendon't blame us for what happens now. You all, go and tie her up."

Just as Jewel wanted to rush over to them and take the first move, Casper held his knife closer toEllen's neck and said, "It's best if you don't move around so carelessly. Otherwise, I will make sure thiswoman dies before your very eyes."

Jewel froze on the spot as she was unable to take action.

When several men were about to go over to her to tie her up, Alex entered the room as well after hesent a message to Eugene. Not only were they clever enough to go over Promise Island's defense, butthey even found their way to the villa for their assassination target. It was clear that they were noordinary men. Not only that, but Ellen was in their hands right now, so he knew that just the two of themwere not a match for these people. Thus, he quickly asked Eugene to send them reinforcement.

"Hold it right there! Just who are you people? Do you know who this person is?" he questioned in anauthoritative tone, the look in his eyes piercing.
