Crack!
At that moment, the door to the greenhouse, visible through the glass, opened. Adele involuntarily turned her gaze, witnessing what was entering through the door. An entirely dazzling silver…
Not missing the opportunity, Stone swiftly pulled out the pistol aimed at the back of his head. Thud! Along with a thunderous sound, the pistol fired. Clang! The bullet embedded itself in the glass door of the secret room, and the glass shards shattered into twinkling pieces.
Dazzling fragments scattered in all directions, and through them, the pistol flew, landing a short distance away. Both of them reached for it simultaneously. Whoosh! In that moment, a sharp blade descended onto Stone’s hand.
“Kraaagh!”
With a painful groan, Stone grimaced, lifting his head.
There stood Kristin, brightly smiling. Such a smile in this situation seemed strangely eerie.
“Found you, murderer.”
Holding the rapier stuck through Stone’s hand and lodged in the floor, Kristin squatted down. With his other hand, he grabbed the man’s hair fiercely.
“Groooh, I’ll tear you to pieces…!”
As Stone sharpened his teeth,
“Let me do the talking.”
Wham! Kristin slammed the man’s face onto the ground. Stone’s face crumpled on the glass shards.
“Move, Chris!”
Clang! Meanwhile, Adele picked up the pistol again, aiming it at Stone.
But Kristin raised his head.
“Not now, Adele. The gunshot will attract the guards soon.”
“I don’t care. I’ll kill him right here!”
The hand holding the gun trembled as if she would pull the trigger at any moment.
“We made a promise. I promised you’d kill him with your own hands. So, lower the gun, Adele.”
While still pressing Stone’s head to the ground with the sharp blade, Kristin urged her to lower the gun.
But Adele couldn’t easily lower the gun. Her eyes, glaring at Stone, were bloodshot, and her trembling lips were parched.
“Adele…”
Thump! At that moment, the footsteps of the guards rushing into the greenhouse became closer.
Struggling with inner conflict, Adele eventually lowered the gun with an angry expression.
At that moment, Kristin shouted loudly for everyone to hear.
“Stone Oswald, you are arrested for the abduction of women and serial murders! Surrender!”
“Surrender!”
Roaring back, the guards rushed forward, beginning to restrain Stone.
“Viscount Vice, you! I won’t let you get away with this! Without evidence, you dare to…! Hundredfold, thousandfold, I’ll follow you to hell and make you pay!”
Stone glowed with a horrifically bloodied face.
“If there’s evidence, it’s more than enough.”
“…!”
When Stone hesitated,
“How did it go?”
Kristin asked his subordinates behind him. Then Zimmer jumped in.
“Found them! Unidentified skeletons were discovered in the underground cemetery!”
“That’s obvious. Isn’t finding skeletons in a graveyard common?”
“You’ll understand once we investigate. Take him away!”
But even as Stone was being dragged away, he remained self-assured.
However, Stone remained confident even as he was being dragged away.
“You, you’ll deeply regret this moment! I’ll be out soon! When that happens, I’ll chew you up alive while you’re still breathing!”
Kristin fingered his ear with a menacing tone.
“Tear his mouth apart.”
“What?”
When Zimmer asked for clarification, Kristin shook his head.
“No, muzzle him.”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
As Stone fell silent, Kristin let out a sigh of relief.
Then he turned to Adele. Her clothes were torn in several places, and blood stained her arms and shoulders. It was from being slashed by the glass shards that flew when the mirror shattered.
Kristin gathered his brows and took a deep breath.
“We need to treat your injuries.”
But Adele urgently extended the key.
“We need to save Tanya first. She’s trapped somewhere in this mansion where this key belongs.”
“Got it. I’ll instruct people to search, so you should get medical attention first.”
“Tanya first…”
“For goodness’ sake, stop!”
When Kristin shouted, those remaining inside looked at him with surprise.
He took a deep breath again, speaking soothingly.
“Don’t be stubborn… please…”
Zimmer quickly took the key from Adele’s hand.
“Yes, we’ll take responsibility and find her. It’s better for you to receive treatment. I have experience in finding people.”
Adele nodded reluctantly.
“Please. Mr. Zimmer.”
“Rest assured.”
Still not relieved, Adele looked at Kristin, and he promptly hugged her.
“Hat, Chris! Let me down.”
In front of so many people, Adele whispered in confusion, but he paid no attention and crossed the greenhouse with her.
“Chris… I’m fine. I got a little cut by the glass shards. Let me down…”
“Stay still. Otherwise, I’ll spank you on the butt.”
“What?”
“While you, my maid, think like that, don’t I count for anything?”
“What does that…?”
“Damn it!”
Exiting the greenhouse, Kristin finally put Adele down and went off alone.
Watching him leave with a puzzled expression, Adele…
“Ah!”
Sitting on the ground, she groaned as if in pain. In the blink of an eye, he had come running.
“Are you okay?”
