"Ryan! Where are you sending me to... What are you going to do to me?!"

Just moments ago, Zoe had been shouting defiantly. But now she was fearing for her life. Despite her terror, she stubbornly refused to beg for mercy and screamed at Ryan's tall, shadowy figure. "Have you forgotten the vow you made at Dad's grave?! You promised to cherish me and protect me for life! How can you do this and still face our dead father?!"

Upon hearing Zoe's words, Ryan halted his heavy footsteps.

But now, these same hands were about to sever, with deep anguish, the blood bond that had wounded him so deeply.

A single, hot tear fell into his palm.
