Olivia felt it would be unbecoming of her to ask further questions, so she stopped.
She and Avery were mere acquaintances. She was already grateful to him for being willing to tell herthat much.
Their car stopped in an alley that was free from surveillance cameras. There was a black SUV parkedat the same place.
“We gotta change cars.”
“Okay.” Olivia got out of the car only to realize that the SUV had high performance. Even its windowswere bulletproof.
They were heading to the suburbs. Noticing that Olivia was slightly nervous, Avery took two bottles ofyogurt drinks out from a small refrigerator. “Want some?”
She was surprised when she saw him drinking it with a casual expression. It was strawberry-
flavored.
“T-Thanks.”
He chuckled. “Frankly speaking, my family loves yogurt drinks, especially strawberry-flavored
ones.”
“It is tasty.” Olivia understood that he was trying to make her relax after noticing that she was
nervous.
The sourness and sweetness melted in her mouth, relieving her tension.
“Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you,” said Avery gently as he looked at her. “Since we have the
same last name, I see you as my younger sister.”
He impressed her as the nuance in her expression didn’t go unnoticed to him.
She expected nothing less from someone who possessed exceptional abilities. He could easily seethrough her.
Avery reminded Olivia about what to take note of again. He asked her to disguise herself
according to his request.
She changed and wore a mask.
Even if someone bumped into them, they wouldn’t be exposed because that was how Toxic Hivemembers usually dressed up.
The number of buildings in the surrounding area decreased, and there were barely any lights.

Ethan, who was wearing his gear, stood next to Chris. Ethan had put on makeup. Now, he was a mereaverage-looking security guard.
The meetup location was at a castle. This mansion was built by foreigners during the invasion lastcentury. The property was also owned by a foreigner.
It was left unused for a long time. Roses crawled up the whole wall in the yard.
The mansion seemed like a vampire’s place from the Middle Ages under the dim light.
The crows on the wall added a touch of spookiness to the atmosphere.
Chris and Ethan alighted from the car and walked into the castle as requested.
The moment they arrived, the rusty gates were opened automatically.
The whole castle was so quiet that they could only hear the sound of their footsteps.
Ethan didn’t say anything as he followed behind Chris.
When they entered the yard, the gates were closed automatically. It was as if they walked into
the lion’s den themselves.
The castle was massive. Even the main entrance itself was grand.
A lady’s voice resounded through the smart doorbell. “Mr. Carlton is required to enter alone.”
Chris said indifferently, “He’s my bodyguard in charge of my safety. I brought only him.”
“I said, you’re required to enter alone. Otherwise, you can leave right now.”
The men exchanged looks before Chris said, “Fine. I’ll enter alone.”
The door opened, but Ethan didn’t enter. He watched Chris enter the castle.
Marina was in one of the rooms in the castle. Although she managed to survive, many parts of herbody were broken.
Her legs were crippled, and her chest was injured. Her whole body was in pain, hence her agony 24/7.
The lady shook the phone at Marina. “Your father’s here.” Hope tinged in Marina’s dim eyes. Shelooked at the lady.novelbin
