"Don’t worry... It’s... just a scratch..." Randoff forced a weak chuckle, but his voice wavered.
"Shut up," Julian snapped, lowering him carefully. "Save your breath."
Selena knelt at Randoff’s side without hesitation, her hands glowing as her [Thorn Sanctuary] skill shifted, vines weaving tightly around the wound to stop the bleeding. "Stay still, Mr. Randoff. I’ll heal you."
Veronica’s eyes narrowed coldly as she looked at Cris. "How bold of you to betray us... do you really think you can defeat all of us alone?"
Luke’s voice trembled with shock. "Why did you betray us, Cris?!"
Cris let out a cold, disdainful laugh. "I don’t need a reason to kill insects like you."
Vivi stepped forward, eyes burning with anger. "You’ve always been a coward, Cris. Sneaking around, stabbing people in the back, that’s all you’re good at."
Cris smirked darkly, "I will be with Emma. And no one will stop me."
Julian’s voice cut through the room like a blade. "That will never happen."
Cris grinned, raising a small glass vial glinting under the moonlight. "I’ve been waiting for this moment, when you’d all be exhausted."
