“But whether you can find me, capture me, and achieve your goal depends on your abilities.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing the Raifurut family’s strength, and even more so, the strength of the person manipulating you from behind the scenes.”
Those cold words echoed in his ears, making Wolram’s grip on his chest tighten, so tight that it could break his skin.
He was brought back and trained by the Raifurut family from the outside.
At that time, he was still an abandoned infant.
In order to survive in that cruel training facility, he trained and killed desperately, eventually becoming the most outstanding assassin, stepping on the corpses of countless peers, and was chosen by the Raifurut family head to be his adopted son.
To reach this point, he had paid and lost a lot, but he had never suffered such a loss, never been looked down upon like this.
That girl’s cold and merciless voice, like a sharp blade, along with the weapon in her hand, pierced Wolram’s heart.
From that moment on, Wolram had probably gone mad.
Not insane, but obsessed.
He thought about that woman all the time.
He thought about killing her all the time.
He wanted to pierce that woman’s heart, just like she had done to him, and make her scream in despair as she lay in a pool of blood.
But at the same time, he felt a burning passion for that woman, wanting to possess her, to make her his.
There was a saying that love could turn into hate.
Wolram was different. He probably developed love from hate.
After all, she was the only woman who was more ruthless and colder than him, even making him suffer a loss and die once.
Moreover, Wolram had initially looked down on Diere. He went to the Kingdom to kill her, to trick her, but in the end, he was the one killed and tricked by her. All the hatred intertwined, creating a twisted obsession.
He wanted revenge.
He also wanted to possess this woman.
Therefore, when the Raifurut family ambushed Diere, he, as the leader, hid in the darkest corner, waiting for her to reveal an opening before suddenly attacking and piercing her abdomen.
If it weren’t for wanting to drive that woman to despair and then possess her, Wolram might have pierced her heart, not her abdomen.
Unfortunately, in the end, Diere escaped.
This put the Raifurut family, who had received the Imperial Consort’s order to kill Diere at all costs, in a difficult situation.
Just as one of the family elders said, if they couldn’t capture her, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves to the Imperial Consort.
This was a plan devised by the Imperial Consort herself. If the Raifurut family failed to execute it properly, they would definitely face severe consequences.
However, Wolram was also helpless.
“I suspect that someone with very high magical skills is secretly assisting Diere Elvenbein.”
Wolram reported respectfully with his head lowered.
“Whether it was the incident in the Imperial Palace or the pursuit these past few days, whenever Diere Elvenbein is cornered, strange things happen. It’s like she suddenly disappears, or the clues we’re tracking suddenly break off, and sometimes, we even lose men inexplicably. This all indicates that Diere Elvenbein isn’t fighting alone.”
Wolram had noticed this.
Unfortunately, they didn’t care.
“No matter the reason, a failed mission is a failed mission. You are to blame.”
The Raifurut family head said coldly.
“I’ll give you two more days. Before the Imperial Consort returns, no matter what method you use, you must bring her back.”
“Dead or alive.”
“If you fail, you know the consequences.”
These words made Wolram close his eyes.
Then, he responded.
“Yes.”
This secret meeting ended here.
Just then…
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a violent tremor occurred.
“What!?”
“This tremor is…!?”
“What happened!?”
“Aah!”
The family elders cried out one after another.
“…!?”
The Raifurut family head also stood up.
Wolram also abruptly raised his head.
A violent tremor, like an earthquake, suddenly occurred, shaking the entire underground hall.
As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was sinking.
