Chapter 678: Handling the Aftermath
"Seems you're smarter than I imagined."
Loren raised his hand, preparing to snap his fingers.
A dying person's words are kind, and Elder Number One had already let go of her grudges by now:
"At least they'll believe I survived, even after I'm dead."
"Though the three of us were all elders, I had the least seniority, and they often sent me on dangerous missions, like killing you."
"My risk was the highest, yet every time my share of the benefits was the smallest. I barely had any authority either, and usually I could only obey their orders."
"To put it plainly, I was no different from those body doubles. They could discard me at any moment."
"Finally, before I die, I've stepped on their heads."
As she spoke, Elder Number One spread her arms, ready to embrace death.
She didn't believe she could survive at all now. She knew very well that with Loren's temperament, he could never forgive what she had done before.
