Chapter 123: They Failed
Rhea used her contacts and paid everything she had to learn the details. It had been a secret mission that ended in "success."
They managed to infiltrate the Solar Federation Empire and completely wipe out its most secret prison. All the informants, all the spies, and some other important stuff were wiped out in one go.
They used the supreme artifact from the Red River Pact clan, causing massive destruction with no chance of defense. That mission was called: Honor of the Heroes.
The people from the New Arcadia Empire who’d been captured were now free from suffering and torture. That freedom came with death, of course.
And among the confirmed names of the dead in that place... was that poor man she loved, the one who only ever wanted to live in peace with his family.
Back to the present.
Everyone in the room besides Leander was hearing the story for the first time—and they were shocked. The Empires weren’t official enemies, they didn’t fight open wars or try to destroy each other. But the greed and hunger to be the biggest still existed.
Spying, theft, and major behind-the-scenes events were happening all the time. None of it ever became public and it didn’t affect normal humans—honestly, even among High Humans, only a few knew any of this stuff.
When Rhea found out, Damon had just awakened, and Leander was still just a kid.
She swallowed her rage and pain toward the Empire. She didn’t just hate the one he was born into—she hated them all.
Neither of them had ever wanted to hurt anyone. They just wanted to be together.
