Chapter 222

The night wind was cold. Winter had arrived so the beach was almost deserted,

A faint smell of blood permeated the cold wind.

Xena looked down and saw a knife stabbed into her heart. Her expression morphed from confusion to shock and her pupils dilated.

Xena asked, “Didn’t you drop the knife?”

That was why she got close to Quinlyn without scruples.

Quinlyn lifted her head in her arms, her eyes as dark as the night, filled with deep sorrow.

Quinlyn said, “I can kill you without a knife, you know.”

With a splash, Warren finally couldn’t hold his breath any longer. He stood up surrounded by algae, He stumbled as he crawled ashore.

Warren said, “God, it’s freezing!”

He was shivering from the cold but was still alive.

Apart from the bandages around his feet, there were no fatal wounds from the knife.

Xena stared at him, her mouth agape. “You! You tricked me.”

Warren said, “You think we tricked you?

“Compared to what you’ve done, Quinlyn was merely defending herself.”

Warren wrung the corner of his clothes and pressed on the inch–long wound on his abdomen. The freezing seawater numbed the pain and stopped the bleeding.

It was the stabbing that made him realize Quinlyn was just acting.

The knife only went half an inch into him before it stopped.

After that, he cooperated with her act by arguing and running all the way to the beach.

The knife went down and Quinlyn cut her own arm. Then, in the dark night, she let him vanish into the sea. She successfully faked his death.

He truly admired Quinlyn.

In such an extremely emotional breakdown, Quinlyn was able to notice something was wrong and come up with a plan to make the mastermind behind it come clean.

Warren asked, “Why did you do this?

“As far as I know, Quinlyn is a good kid.”

He looked at Xena.

He couldn’t figure it out, not to mention Quinlyn.

He wondered what kind of deep hatred could lead to such crazy revenge. Quinlyn was only eleven years old after all.
