Chapter 688: Preparing to Go Home

Tina and Jared flipped over and when they looked again, the woman in red was nowhere to be seen. Tina wanted to go after her, but Jared grabbed her wrist, "Tina, don't chase her anymore. She hasn't shown her full strength yet." Even for Tina and Jared, it was only possible to match her evenly, and pursuing her further would likely lead to no real advantage. Moreover, their main purpose for coming to Alderanth was to rescue their friends, and now that they had succeeded, their mission was complete. However, they were still unclear why the mastermind had gone to such lengths to arrange all this. Tina looked in the direction where the woman in red had disappeared, her eyes clouded with uncertainty.

At that moment, on a nearby mountain peak, the woman in red stood looking down directly at them. Fortunately, she had brought some smoke bombs when she left home, which allowed her to briefly confuse their line of sight and escape right in front of them. After so many years, it was time for her to go home. She scoffed disdainfully, snapped her folding fan shut, and turned to leave.

"Wait for it, we'll meet again."

On the other side, Eric had fainted from fright during Philip's fight with the woman and was now awakened by an injection from Tina.

"Are you all okay?" Tina asked, looking at Philip and Griffin. Philip, holding his chest, replied, "Serena, we're fine."

He was merely wounded, but it was nothing serious. Griffin shook his head, indicating he was fine too. Eric's reaction was different; upon waking up and seeing familiar faces and realizing the woman in red was no longer there, he burst into tears.

"I was terrified, I almost lost my life..."

Philip, seeing his state, wanted to punch him but restrained himself because of Serena's presence.

"Did any of you see what she looks like under that mask?" Jack couldn't help asking. The woman had given him a strangely familiar feeling, as if they had met before. She even claimed she had held Tina as a child. This made Jack suspect that the woman in red was someone he had seen before. But after scouring his memory, he couldn't find any trace of her, nor could he think of anyone who matched her description.

"Uncle Jack, it's useless. The face under the mask is probably not her own."

Tina still checked on the three of them. The move that the woman in red had used was eerily strange, something she had never seen before. Moreover, she could feel that the silver needles scattered from the woman's fan were coated with a potent poison. If they had been hit, even she would have needed some time to
