“Why do you want to leave?” Alyssa continued to ask curiously. “Aren’t you

high and mighty here, commanding and summoning as you see fit? Even the

Queen of the Dark Night Islands respects you. If I were you, I wouldn’t be so

foolish as to oppose the Airspace Group!”

Mackenzie scoffed, “Power and status aren’t things that bring true joy and

happiness.”

“So, what brings you happiness and joy?” Alyssa’s curiosity grew, her gaze

eager for an answer.

“Love, family, friendship…” Mackenzie replied in one breath. “And peace and NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

freedom!”

Alyssa looked at her with eyes reminiscent of how Emmanuel had once

fought to save Ironskull and Ostrich, even at the cost of being injured by her

and Alphonso. Then, suddenly, she sneered. “No wonder you and Emmanuel

are married; you’re both fools!”

The Chases of Freedom

Mackenzie laughed too. “Being overly shrewd doesn’t necessarily lead to

happiness! Don’t you think?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Alyssa and noticed the dagger in her hand.

“You’re right!”

Alyssa suddenly swung her hand, tossing the dagger towards Mackenzie’s

back. There, Agargar quickly slapped the dagger away.

“Alyssa, what are you doing?” Alphonso, who had been lurking on the fifth

floor, suddenly appeared, looking astonished. This wasn’t the plan he had

agreed upon with his sister.

The Shadow Clan, like the Blood Clan, were opportunistic double–dealers. The siblings had privately agreed that with the Alliance’s advantage, they would support the crowd from behind, cheering them on. If the Alliance lost hope,

they would pledge their loyalty to the Airspace Group, ensuring their survival

and possibly gaining status.

The Choice of Freedom

Many experts from the Dark Night Islands had previously risen to prominence

after joining the Airspace Group. With so many casualties this time, joining

the Airspace Group would certainly lead to high–level positions. They would

shift from being slaves to slave owners! But now, his sister was missing this

great opportunity to kill the Saintess and gain merit and instead fought

against the Airspace Group’s fighters. What was she thinking?!

“I’ve changed my mind, Alphonso!” Alyssa said, glaring at Agargar. “You and I

will hold off these experts and let the Saintess find the lab! We haven’t

experienced freedom yet; I want to see if freedom brings more happiness

than power and status!”

“You foolish woman!” He cursed but still smiled as he lifted his spiked club

and stood shoulder–to–shoulder with his sister in front of Agargar.

She also looked at him and smiled.

Alphonso grumbled, “I don’t know if freedom is as wonderful as you think, but

family is definitely more important to me than power and status!”

“Stop being sentimental! You’re giving me goosebumps! Let’s go!” Alyssa

shouted, charging with Alphonso toward Agargar.

Mackenzie was moved by the siblings‘ gesture, narrowly escaping death yet

again. But she knew it wasn’t the time for sentimentality. Cradling her belly,

she quickened her pace toward the lab.

Finally, there it was–Lab 19!

There was indeed a strange protective wall with odd remnants scattered on

1. it. Mackenzie was inwardly astonished.

From her level of knowledge, she could guess what it was. It was a

high–energy protective wall that burned anything passing through with

intense heat. From the look of the debris, the barrier must have immense

energy.

Just then, a sharp pain struck her abdomen. The intense activity had

disturbed her pregnancy.

“Shh, calm down, buddy. Mommy’s doing something very important right

now; please don’t make a fuss. Shh… Calm down…”

The once aloof CEO of Yeringham, now supported by one hand on the wall

and the other soothing her unborn child patiently comforted the baby.

She suddenly felt unbearably hot, drenched in cold and hot sweat. Even the

hottest summers had never felt as sweltering as this.

The heat came from Lab 19!

“Madam, don’t get any closer!” An Alliance member suddenly shouted from

the other side of the crossroads. “Anyone who approached that room has

been burned to ashes!”
