Chapter 1943 - 1941: Passing the Second Layer
As Alice Thompson looked at Peter Brown, she realized that her previously alluring appearance, enticing to men, was utterly useless—even displaying a delicate demeanor did nothing.
Gabriella Graham couldn’t help but smile bitterly at her behavior; she knew Peter Brown well, having herself attempted such tactics to no avail, and feared for Alice’s life, thinking he might kill her. Gabriella whispered to Alice, "Alice, if the master hadn’t saved you, you would be dead by now. Consider it a rebirth, and start another life for yourself, following the master isn’t that bad."
"You!"
Alice couldn’t believe that Gabriella was actually calling Peter Brown "master."
Seeing the complex look in Alice’s eyes, Gabriella suddenly had a thought: having become Peter Brown’s female slave herself, Alice must also become one. Then, she would have a higher status by having joined earlier.
She said to Alice, "I’ve said all that needs to be said to you. If you don’t submit, you will truly die."
Alice looked again toward the location where the trapping array had just helped kill the personnel from her sect, realizing that so many experts from her own sect had been deviously killed by Peter Brown. She gained more insight into this man who killed without blinking, wondering if she truly sought death.
Had it been before, she might not have feared death, but now, having witnessed the deaths of so many, she was genuinely frightened.
Just then, Peter Brown’s gaze turned back to her and he said, "I don’t have time to talk more with you. If you wish to die, then so be it, go ahead and die."
As he spoke, Peter Brown had already picked up a large sword and was about to strike Alice down.
"No!"
