Chapter 823:
The sound echoed from deep within the shaft.
Blood spread, dark and vivid, blooming like a twisted flower in the depths of hell. Fiona had no chance to survive.
At that moment, Verruckt looked up and caught sight of a familiar face. Alice stood across from him, her wide,
shocked eyes locked onto him.
“What are you doing here?” Verruckt's brows furrowed. He was drenched in blood, and it appeared as though he
had just killed Fiona right in front of her. To him, this was just another day. But for sreason, the situation
made him uneasy.

“So, are you scared?”
Allison had no choice but to look up into Verruckt’s eyes. She instinctively tried to push him away, but her hands
were held firmly against his chest. Verruckt’s breath felt scorching, and his well-toned muscles showed beneath
the loosely undone collar of his shirt.
