Chapter 84

Oliver fell asleep soon. By the time he woke up, he found that Sienna was sleeping soundly in his embrace while leaning on his shoulder.

It was already dawn.

Oliver quietly and carefully raised Sienna’s head, not wanting to wake her up. Unfortunately, even with his ever-so-gentle movement, the woman woke up and gawked at him.

“You can sleep for a while. We’re not leaving now, anyway. I’ll go out to have a look,” cooed Oliver with a grin.

Even so, Sienna stretched out her hand and tugged at his arm. “Oliver, what if we can’t go back?”

After thinking for a while, Oliver answered, “I’ve made all the necessary arrangements back at home. I’ve left enough money for your parents, my parents, and my sister to spend for the rest of their lives, and my company also has enough cash reserves. It won’t matter if we can’t go back. I’ll stand by you!”

Sienna’s eyes suddenly reddened with tears! She got all choked up all of a sudden. “Thank you, Oliver… You’re so kind to me. But I just… I just…”

“Hush!” Oliver held her hand tightly. “Whether the Blood Malediction is true or not, since you already have it on your back, and I, too, have it on mine, we’ll stick together no matter what happens.”

“Right! We’ll stick together no matter what!” Sienna took Oliver’s hand and put it on her cheek.

At that very moment, she could not care less even if the sky were to crumble.

As Oliver exited the tent, he found the scene outside truly sad to behold.

Isaac’s body might have been located and placed together with the rest, but even his remains looked miserable.

Dozens of bodies of the Great Wolf were dragged aside and piled up like a hill.

There was another dead bodyguard whose body seemed even more grisly than Isaac’s. Sitting on a boulder was a bodyguard with a broken arm, gazing at the mountain beyond the horizon in a daze.

The other one with a broken leg was resting in the tent. Fortunately, he had stopped bleeding. As that was not a place suitable to conduct surgery, all he received was basic medication and treatment to stop the bleeding. Resigning himself to fate was the only thing he could do.

By the fire, Gunther was having a discussion with Gabriel. The minute Oliver stepped outside, Gunther waved at him.

“Come here, Oliver.”
