Chapter 335: Bloodied. Bruised. Trapped

“Don’t just renew my life for the month,” she said. “Heal me. Every wound. I can’t fall now… The mission is not over.”

“Warning. This will cost all your good points. Every single one.”

“I know.”

Do you accept?

“…Yes.”

She stood up, renewed, unbroken.

If only Abuchi knew that Nnenna almost died in that fight. He probably would not be so calm.

King Mesha, Ruth, and her mother had stared with wide eyes throughout the entire fight.

The prison bars could not hide their shock.

They recognized Abuchi immediately, his stance, his voice, the way he fought like someone with something to protect. Ruth’s heart pounded in her chest. It really was him. Her Abuchi.
