Vena stared at the three people before her in disbelief. Even if the world reached its end, she wouldn’t be this surprised. What she saw in front of her eyes was something that couldn’t be explained with words.

’How did it happen?’

Her mind spun around as she watched the people in front of her. Her feeling was extremely complicated for she knew that it was illogical. Nevertheless, she has been facing many people who had extreme power. Those were things that couldn’t be explained with words.

Probably, even the skill to pull someone back to life also existed.

Even though she tried to convince herself that it was possible, she was rather skeptical. The power was too heaven defying that she felt it was completely impossible. Besides, if that was true, she would have to renew her sense of logic too.

On the other hand, Kevin completely ignored his surroundings as he narrated what had happened to James plus the light that he left behind with him. Kanae was sad that James had died, but she was more speechless when he heard about the light in Kevin’s eyes.

"It can even revive people?" Kanae asked with astonishment.

Kevin shrugged. "I’m not sure myself, but I don’t want to try."

"It’s better not."

Patrick couldn’t imagine if someone was to die again and Kevin had to shed tears again. What if the power only worked once? That would be the same as sending that particular person into the death door.

"Someone is coming," Kanae turned her head to the direction of the stairs above at the same time as Kevin. Patrick was stunned to see that their senses had stepped another level. He didn’t even sense anyone coming at here.

From the hallway, Jason and Alice jogged towards them. Jason’s eyes lit up when he saw Kanae was fine.

"Kanae! You’re fine."

"Yes, thanks to Kevin," Kanae smiled. It would be a long time if she had to explain what had happened, so she made it short. The explanation could wait until they were in save place.

Jason nodded his head and beckoned for Alice to come closer.

"This place is unusually sturdy. Mike and Neo have been destroying the building, but I feel none of the impact here," Jason remarked.

Kevin tapped the wall. "It’s made with special rare materials. It’s hard to melt this material and build it."

Jason looked at the wall in apprehension. No wonder that Ferdinand was so adamant in taking back this place. This place must have been built a long time ago and extremely precious.

Alice stopped in front of Kevin. She started to rummage through her bag as she pulled out a small bottle and handed it to Kevin.

"This is paralyzing beads. Just throw them to your enemy and it’ll slow them considerably," Alice smiled.

Kevin nodded his head. "Can you check my uncle’s wounds for a minute?"

"Sure."

While Alice was checking on Patrick’s wound, Kanae and Kevin looked straight to the other hallway. Previously, Kevin didn’t go there because he heard something from this direction. However, right now the two of them were sure that there must be something over there.

There was a faint sense of impending danger coming at them from that direction. The pressure was invisible, but they knew that it was there, threatening to rip them apart.

"Uncle, you should go back with Alice," Kevin said after a few seconds of silence.

"What? Brat, I can still fight!" Patrick chided with annoyance. Even though his body was riddled with wounds because of the fight with that monster Carlo, he still has more than enough strength to fight. There was no need for him to retreat back.

"Jason, when you come here, did you see the room where Iris and Cain are?" Kevin turned his head to Patrick.

Jason pondered for a moment before nodding his head. "Yes, I see them. Cain is breathing roughly while Iris has died. I decided to let them off and didn’t touch them."

He thought that since Kevin and Patrick let them off, he would not interfere anymore. Right now, all he wanted to do was finishing this battle as fast as possible. After all, the reason he wanted to catch up was because he wanted to help them in the battle with Alice treating their wounds.

"Uncle, can you take Cain away from this place? I want him to stay alive," Kevin ordered his uncle.

Patrick glared at Kevin. "Brat, do you think you can order me as you wish? I’m not going!"

"Go back and take both Alice and Cain to the safe place," Kevin rephrased his order.

Patrick frowned. He knew that the two of them were staring at the other side of the hallway intently. Unfortunately, he couldn’t sense anything from that place. Seeing his hands were riddled with bandages that Alice applied speedily, he sighed in defeat.

He knew that it would be better if he tried to make a way out for the two people rather than continuing. The next battle would be against those who were exceptionally strong, which was Aria or Ferdinand.

Even though he hadn’t met with them, he knew that he was not their match. Just the recent spar against Kevin had told him that his nephew was stronger than him. What’s more, the two battle veteran.

"Be careful. If it’s Aria or Ferdinand, it’ll be better for you to run. Both of them are former special forces in the hidden army for this country," Patrick reminded.

"I’ll be fine," Kevin answered simply.

Kanae smiled. "I don’t plan to die the second time, so you can rest assured, Father."

Patrick turned his head to Jason. "You’re going with them?"

"Yes."

"Be careful."

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless," Jason assured the man. If he died here, he was sure that Laura would skin him in the real underworld.

"Let’s go back, Sir Patrick," Alice beckoned for the man to follow after her. Patrick laughed when he saw Alice’s movement.

"You’re the one who should follow after me. Even though I’m wounded, I’m still far more powerful than some puny monsters from their failed experiment."

The two of them walked away as Jason looked to the other hallway. They had walked to the middle and he could feel a faint pressure. The pressure was telling him to stay away if he wanted to live.

"Brother Jason, are you ready?"

"I’m ready," Jason nodded his head.

The three of them started walking ahead. The one who could emit this dangerous pressure were only either Aria or Ferdinand. Either one of them would surely be proved to be exceptionally strong.

Halfway their way, Kanae looked at the laboratory on their side. The memories of Professor Taren brought her to this place resurfaced as his face scrunched up in annoyance. She didn’t want to remember them at all.

"The doctors are gone?" Jason frowned.

"What?"

They were about to stop when the window broke. A monster wearing the doctor robe flung out with a large roar. The one nearest to them, Jason, unsheathed his sword as he blocked the attack.

"You two should go first. I’ll get rid of the doctors first."

"Got it."

With that, the two of them charged forward while Jason fought against the doctors who had turned into monsters.
