Chapter 1623

With the situation somewhat clarified, Ariana resolved to continue her search.

Initially lacking much hope, she now felt prepared to confront whatever lay ahead, thanks to a clear objective.

Armed with her gun, Ariana adjusted her backpack and rose to her feet, prepared to resume her quest for Holden and Adrian down the cliff.

“Are you leaving?” Bennett inquired, quickly grabbing her.

“That’s none of your concern,” Ariana retorted, kicking off his hand.

“You can stay here and wait for your death.

Bennett struggled to move his body to follow her, but he soon realized it was futile.

Observing her resolute departure, a wave of concern flooded Bennett, prompting him to speak up.

“In fact, it does concern me.
