Pharaoh's expression remained as stern as before.

Nina hadn't expected to hear such devastating news. How could she possibly offer comfort, or what could she say? This just wasn't the right time.

Micah hadn't anticipated this outcome either. He had been reassuring Arin all along, but now there was nothing that could be done to save her. Micah felt a deep sense of guilt as he walked over to her bedside.

"I'm sorry. You risked your life to deliver critical information to me, and I couldn't save you," he said, his voice heavy with remorse.

Arin, lying on the bed and ravaged by the poison in her body, still managed to force a smile when she saw Micah approach.

"It's nothing special. Even if I hadn't told you, you would have found out eventually," she said. She did not want him to feel burdened by guilt. Everything she did was of her own free will.

Micah's heart felt as though it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. Arin was in this condition because of him. If there was nothing he could do, he would be forced to watch her die. But Micah did not want her to leave this world with regrets.

"I'm powerless to cure you, but don't worry. I won't give up on you. The bounty I posted on the dark web is still active. If nothing works out, I promise, I'll avenge you. Is there anything you wish for before then?" Micah asked, his gaze filled with determination.

Arin knew that Micah and Freya were planning to marry. She did not want to make things harder for him, nor did she want to dampen his spirits before his wedding. So she kept smiling.
