After Estelle left, Jonathan sat on the couch, lighting up a cigarette, and said to Sylvia, “You’ve done well. Go get some rest.”

Sylvia poured herself a glass of wine and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window to gaze out at the night lights of Zion. In such a sprawling, sleepless city, where could Gab be?

Was he really in Zion?

She turned to Jonathan and said, “Mr. Jarvis, the Mystoria Federation under your control, as well as Gab’s Silver Valley, are both havens. Let’s make Citadel a haven, too.”

She had first met Gab in Citadel.

Back then, there was a place called Red Grotto, notorious for auctioning off young girls, and she was among those being sold.

Sold by her parents—more precisely, her adoptive parents—and taken from the border, after an arduous journey, she ended up in Citadel, the so-called hell on earth.

Gab was ten years older than her. At just eighteen, he was already a young man of steady and profound disposition.

When he passed by the cage she was locked in, she reached out and clung to the hem of his coat. He turned and said coldly, “Let go!”
