Chapter 1802: Flying Far Away
Cloud abruptly got up from Vicki's body, supporting himself next to her as he gasped heavily.
He looked at her, but her eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth. She no longer resembled the person
from before, whose eyes reflected the stars in the sky, full of tenderness. They could never go back.
He sat up and took off his jacket, placing it on her. He buttoned it up for her.
He avoided her gaze.
Picking up the food he had brought earlier from the table, he fed her bite by bite.
Vicki didn't refuse. After sleeping for a day, she was indeed hungry and needed to replenish her energy
to sustain herself. Soon, she finished all the food. Although it had the taste of her childhood, she
couldn't feel the same nostalgia. Time had passed, and things had changed.
Her hands were still handcuffed, but she awkwardly reached for a napkin on the table and wiped her
lips before discarding it.
Cloud watched her struggle to move, and deep down, he felt sorry for her. But he didn't want to let her
go, not now at least.
"What exactly do you want to obtain from the warlords?" Vicki sat up straight and asked. She stretched
her legs and jingled the shackles around her ankles. "There's no need. If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't
have exchanged Anderson for you and come here with you. I wouldn't have drunk the mineral water
you gave me."
Cloud remained silent, squatting down with one knee in front of Vicki. He caught a glimpse of the red
marks and even a place where there was a faint trace of blood on her ankle from the iron shackles. He
took out the key from his pocket and unlocked her shackles, throwing them aside.
Gently caressing her injured foot, he reached for alcohol and ointment from the nearby cabinet, silently
applying them for her.
The orphanage was an institution specifically for idle and wandering children from society. Compared to
an orphanage, it was even darker, as the children taken in here often carried the lowest behaviors of
society. Theft and fighting were prevalent.
It was like a corner where sunlight couldn't reach, allowing darkness to grow and spread.
Vicki was taken in before him, and because she was younger, even though she had created a world for
herself, she couldn't avoid being bullied by older children. When he first came to the orphanage and
saw her, she was covered in injuries.
At that time, he was just like he was now. Patiently wiping her wounds.
Later, the two of them joined forces, and no one dared to bully them again.
Cloud still didn't answer until he finished applying the medicine for Vicki. He finally spoke up.
"What exactly it is, it's best for you not to know. The less you know, the safer you'll be. Once I obtain it,
that will be the day I leave OGW, Vicki."
He looked up. "If you and Felix's affair, I can overlook it. When the time comes, I'll take you far away.
How about that? We'll go to a place where nobody knows us, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. We'll
spend the rest of our lives together."
Vicki smiled faintly. "It's too late. How is that possible? Stirring up bloodshed and chaos and then
leaving. Do you think I'm capable of doing that? Rayan, you should be very clear. OGW, the Ballard
family, the Saunders family, and the warlords all have deep grudges. There's only one ending to this."
She paused, speaking word by word. "OGW must be completely destroyed and expelled from
Pascaylia. Otherwise, it will never end."
Cloud narrowed his eyes.
Vicki's lips curved into an arc. "Since the day I joined Christian, we have become enemies in
appearance. Rayan, Charity only uses you, it's definitely not gratitude. She's using the Ballard family as
well, hiding such a big secret from OGW. Charity married into the Ballard family to gain more benefits,
secretly building up her own power. Now, Christian sees through Athena. Working together to eliminate
OGW is only a matter of time. Rayan, you still have a chance to stop. Everyone can reduce the price
they pay. Think it through."
Cloud's expression stiffened.
He knew very well that OGW would soon clash fiercely with the major powers in Pascaylia. Countless
people would be affected. But how could he be willing? He hadn't obtained everything he wanted.
He looked up, his voice cold. "If I stop, will you leave Felix and come with me?"
Vicki was taken aback and shook her head. She couldn't agree to such conditions.
Cloud sneered. "That's why I won't stop."
Suddenly, he liftedVicki up, getting dangerously close to her face. "With what I want from overseas
powers and the money they promised me, once I have it all, including you, I will take you away with
me."
He caressed her cheek. "With you in my hands, the warlords will eventually give me what I want."
Vicki took a deep breath. "Is it related to the electromagnetic pulse? It seems like Rohomes' imperial
family's goals are all connected to this item."
Cloud's pupils contracted sharply.
He didn't answer. He didn't deny or confirm it.
Vicki knew she had guessed it right.
This item was related to the power struggle within Rohomes, the selection of the next emperor, and the
tense situation between the two countries. Ultimately, Rohomes' fire had spread to the land of
Pascaylia, disrupting peace.
"With me here, I won't let you have your way," Vicki sneered.
Cloud's expression grew colder. Just as he was about to say something, commotion suddenly erupted
not far away downstairs.
One of his men shouted, "Boss, something's not right. The Saunders have found this place!"
Cloud's eyes ignited with flames, cursing under his breath. "Damn Felix, how did he find this place?"
He opened the door and shouted downstairs, "Guard the entrance, don't let them come up. Call for
reinforcements from other places."
After giving the orders, he grabbed Vicki's arm. "Come with me. He came just in time to witness how
intimate we are."
Vicki furrowed her brows deeply as Cloud dragged her away, unsure of what he was planning.novelbin
Cloud brought Vicki all the way to the balcony, a large terrace that was spacious. Below, what used to
be a large garden was now overgrown with weeds, desolate and abandoned.
Felix arrived with his men. They had searched the entire Khebury, scouring every place OGW might
have been involved, but they couldn't find Cloud and Vicki's traces. When he was almost desperate, he
suddenly remembered Vicki mentioning Xiao Zhen. Cloud had also become enemies with the
Saunders family because he killed Xiao Zhen. So, he thought of this place-the villa that Xiao Zhen used
to play with kidnapped girls.
Sure enough, when he arrived with a group of men, there were signs of habitation. They surrounded
the villa, and he saw Cloud embracing Vicki, their behavior intimate, as they appeared on the terrace
together.
