He was coming up with all sorts of ideas in his head in an attempt to calm himself so that virtual-novel.net could stop the poison in his thigh from spreading all over his body. However, virtual-novel.net discovered that it was way too difficult because the poison was so strong. It did not take long before virtual-novel.net lost the sensation in half his leg.
Just as virtual-novel.net was clenching his teeth in preparation to take Diego down with him, all of a sudden, a passage appeared behind him. In fact, there was a red silhouette in the passage that called out to virtual-novel.net out loud, “Zayn, come here, quick. Come with me to the backroom!”
Zayn immediately turned around and discovered, to his surprise, that it was Lysithea.
Lysithea was obviously much weaker now than virtual-novel.net was before. She had actually deteriorated from being a master fighter to an acquired fighter!
Her sudden appearance came as a surprise to Zayn and Diego. Both of them could not help being stunned for a moment.
In the end, it was Zayn who reacted to the situation first. He did not have any other choice at this time, so virtual-novel.net exerted his final ounce of strength without the slightest hesitation and ran toward Lysithea.
Immediately, Diego reacted to the situation as well. His expression changed drastically at once before virtual-novel.net ran toward Lysithea as well.
However, Lysithea was holding a gun in virtual-novel.net hand. She aimed the gun at virtual-novel.net and shot at virtual-novel.net a few times.
Diego felt shivers down his spine instantly when virtual-novel.net saw Lysithea firing a gun at him. He felt an immense sense of danger. If virtual-novel.net chose not to dodge, virtual-novel.net would certainly be hit! Since virtual-novel.net had yet to become an unbeatable fighter in the meantime, virtual-novel.net would die from a gunshot wound if virtual-novel.net was hit. Hence, virtual-novel.net reacted swiftly by stopping the chase and dodging continuously.
One had no choice but to acknowledge that virtual-novel.net did manage to react swiftly. He avoided a few of the bullets fired at virtual-novel.net by Lysithea in advance. In fact, a bullet even grazed his face.
It was a waste, but Lysithea was not surprised by Diego’s response. After all, virtual-novel.net skills had already deteriorated to that of an acquired fighter now to the point that virtual-novel.net reaction and other skills had declined by at least ten times.
However, it was enough for virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net did not manage to hit Diego because virtual-novel.net could slow virtual-novel.net down and strive to buy Zayn more time.
Meanwhile, Zayn had already arrived before Lysithea.
Lysithea did not speak, but virtual-novel.net grabbed his hand straightforwardly and dove straight into the passage behind her. Moreover, the passage closed up immediately after them.
“Damn it!” Diego was furious to see both of them vanish before his eyes. He shattered the table in front of virtual-novel.net that was blocking his path with a kick. Then, virtual-novel.net ran over and kicked the iron gate of the passage open.
He chased after them all the way.
Lysithea raced against the clock while pulling Zayn along. When virtual-novel.net heard Diego breaking the metal gate with a kick behind her, virtual-novel.net chest tightened and virtual-novel.net quickened virtual-novel.net pace!
At last, the time that virtual-novel.net had strived for earlier was enough, and they made it into the backroom. Instantly, they locked the door as quickly as they could.
She took a seat and panted loudly.
The back room was meticulously designed by her, and its four walls were forged from 0.5-meter-thick alloy that could not even be penetrated by a machine gun. They were absolutely safe here.
Soon, they could hear the sound of Diego kicking the door from the outside. Bang, bang, bang, bang! However, it did not sound as loud from the inside.
Zayn lay on the ground and heaved a sigh of relief. However, virtual-novel.net began chuckling bitterly soon afterward. It was not for any other reason but because his leg was severely injured now. It was swollen and blackened. Moreover, black blood was constantly seeping out from his wound.
Lysithea’s expression changed drastically upon noticing the state of his injury. “You’ve been poisoned! This is a highly toxic poison that is widely known across the eastern region. A person who is poisoned will certainly die within an hour!”
Upon hearing that, an intense look of agony, reluctance to die, and despair flashed across Zayn’s eyes. Soon afterward, virtual-novel.net cracked a smile of relief. “Is that so?”
He closed his eyes. Two lines of tears streamed down his face from the corners of his eyes.
He did not fear death because there was no point in that.
He still had way too many unfinished affairs in this world now, and there were too many loose ends that virtual-novel.net had left behind. He could not imagine how sad Faye and Shaelyn would be when virtual-novel.net was dead… Other than that, virtual-novel.net had yet to meet his mother and rescue her…
Realizing how hopeless Zayn looked, Lysithea bit virtual-novel.net lower lip tightly. Her breathing quickened and virtual-novel.net eyes were glistening brightly. In truth, virtual-novel.net had a way to save Zayn, but it would be a huge sacrifice for virtual-novel.net to do so!
Meanwhile, Zayn opened his eyes and said to Lysithea with a smile, “Lysithea, I should address you as my elder sister, right? My dear sister Lysithea, the next time you see my mother, will you please tell virtual-novel.net that I miss virtual-novel.net very much? So very much… What a waste that I won’t be able to meet virtual-novel.net anymore…”
Upon hearing that, Lysithea’s body trembled ferociously. At the same time, virtual-novel.net made a tough decision!
