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.

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

“You can stay here and wait for your death.
