Vic Stewart sighed regretfully. "What a pity... If it weren't for that so-called Okhema, we could have remained hidden much longer, and the Alliance could have endured longer too..."
As he spoke, an invisible wave radiated outward from him in all directions. This was an Eighth-Level Divine Magic spell, Eternal Dream, capable of trapping targets in a near-indistinguishable, hyper-realistic dream. Once ensnared, escape became virtually impossible.
Even if the victim's physi...

After the battle, the Wizard stepped forward, circling the altar on the ground several times, scrutinizing it closely. "This thing appears to be completely destroyed," he declared.
He then discovered another staircase at the far end of the basement and exclaimed, "There's another exit here!"
This exit must lead to some place outside Perseus's Mansion—perhaps a corner of the city, or even beyond its walls. Otherwise, there's no explaining where the people in the flesh cocoons in ...

The Wizard struck first, casting a classic Second-Level Enchantment School spell: "Human Immobilization Spell!"
After all, she was the wife of his superior, and Perseus had ordered them to "stop" her, not "kill" her. While Perseus's wife was clearly in a dire state, capturing her and bringing her before a Priest might offer a chance of saving her.
However, Perseus's wife acted as if nothing had happened. Without even glancing at the Wizard, she continued her "work"—drinking the ...

After hearing Liu Shanhe's words, a sly smile suddenly curled at the corners of Cifera's lips.
She took a step back, then, in an instant, she sprang into action!
Her feet pushed off the ground like coiled springs, launching her upward with explosive force, transforming her into an arrow shot from a bow.
In that instant, her core tightened, and her waist bent backward at an impossible angle—
Whoosh!
With astonishing flexibility, Cifera executed a breath...

When the group from the third floor rushed down to the second floor, they breathed a collective sigh of relief upon finding Cifera still sitting at the Technical Booth.
The Pursuer who had been monitoring Cifera on the second floor asked in confusion:
"What's going on? Did you catch her?"
"We caught nothing but frustration!" Zhang Hong replied. "Good thing the real target's still here. You did well!"
After praising the Pursuers, Zhang Hong instructed them to guard the ...

After reading Little Ya's comment, Host Qiu Qiu's smile grew even brighter.
Nie Junfeng, standing beside her, found it odd and couldn't resist asking:
"Host, I thought you were a fan of Contestant Cifera. She's about to be eliminated—why do you look so pleased?"
"Hehe, Inspector Nie, don't be too sure of yourself. Little Ya has offered a different perspective on your analysis."
"Her again?"

Following Lin Zhiyuan's gaze, the director switched the camera to the third floor of the Pursuit Team's base villa.
On screen, Cifera had already arrived at Nie Bing's door.
She first knocked lightly, then said, "Little Bingbing, I'm coming in~"
Earlier, she had texted Nie Bing to say she'd be taking photos, so Nie Bing had already begun pretending to be unconscious.
The Production Team had also confirmed with Nie Bing that Cifera's entry into the room could be broadca...

Upon hearing Liu Shanhe's question, Lin Zhiyuan knew the final decision on whether to help Cifera now rested in his hands.
To be honest, after careful consideration, he still couldn't figure out what hidden motive lay behind Cifera's suggestion of taking a group photo.
But just because he couldn't figure it out didn't mean there wasn't one!
Lin Zhiyuan was convinced she wouldn't go to such elaborate lengths for something as trivial as "creating a sense of ceremony."

In a Special Task Force dormitory room hidden away in Fontaine, where no one could find her, Chevreuse was trapped.
What does she mean by "it's my turn"?
Chevreuse's ominous premonition was confirmed in the next moment. Luna's hand snaked behind her, hooking the silk thread and tightening it further.
Chevreuse frowned slightly as Luna's breath tickled her ear.
"I love you, Miss Captain."
By now, Chevreuse had grown somewhat immune to these whispered word...

It was already 8:07 AM, and Guo Tao was frantic.

The incoming call was from none other than Liu Ruyan, the wealthy woman who had been kidnapped earlier that day. Cifera had memorized her number at a glance while hacking into her phone.
Aunt Liu must have gotten my number from the Pursuit Team. Is she calling to thank me personally for saving her? Cifera mused.
After a moment's thought, she concluded this was the most likely explanation. Perhaps Liu Ruyan had seen her live stream and noticed she was finally free, which p...
