Chapter 160: End This Battle

When I arrived, instead of seeing my team, Mason was already there, as if he had been waiting for me.

"Mason... are you going to drag me out of here again?" I asked him, but he didn't answer.

Instead, he just stared at me, hands tucked into his pockets. His cold gaze felt like a wordless message I didn't want to hear.

"I want to fight!" I told him, my tone firm.

"And both of you will die?" he retorted sarcastically. "What about your kids?"

Wait-How did he know about that? Did Evangeline tell him already?

"You-" I wanted to confront him, but I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Do you trust him?" Mason asked as he walked over, grabbed my shoulders, and made me look at him.

"I-I do," I stammered.

I trust Ash, but I'm terrified of losing him again. Five years apart was too long. We weren't getting any younger. I wanted to spend the remaining years of my life with him. "Then prove it," he said before grabbing my hand, intent on pulling me out of there.

Even though I was already armed to face Azrael, he was determined to stop me.

"You may not realize it, but you've been saving Ash all these years," Mason said, and that made me feel a pang of pain in my stomach. "Let him save you again this time."

Meanwhile, Azrael was at a loss when he saw the news about the SD card on TV.

He knew Sapphire had given it to Ash, but he hadn't managed to intercept it before Ash discreetly handed it over to a journalist seeking exclusive news.

He also knew Kesha, his woman, had been killed by Sapphire. Kesha had been his best asset, yet Sapphire had killed her without hesitation.
