Chapter 588 Let’s Take Them Out Together
Sarah clenched her jaw; her <b>fists </b>were so tight they cracked. But no matter how angry or regretful <b>she </b><b>was </b>now, it was toote. She nev
should’ve trusted this man from the beginning.
<b>“</b>I can’t control you,” Sarah said, cyes rimmed red, tears glimmering just beneath the surface. “<b>So </b><b>I’m </b>begging you now. Please spare their lives. They look like this already, isn’t that punishment enough<b>?</b><b>” </b>
The man lowered his eyes with azy indifference; the sharp glint in his gaze was cold and mocking<b>, </b><b>as </b>if he were watching a joke unfold. He stared at Sarah, dispassionate and amused.
Jean stared nkly too, not even blinking. <i>So </i><i>now </i><i>I’m </i>supposed <i>to </i><i>believe </i><i>Sarah </i>regrets it? <i>What’s </i>the point? Is <b>the </b><i>blood </i>my <i>brothers </i><i>lost </i>somehow <i>going </i><i>to </i><i>flow </i><i>back </i><i>into </i><i>their </i><i>bodies</i><i>? </i><i>Can </i><i>any </i>of <i>this </i><i>be </i>undone, like it never happened<b>? </b><i>Her </i>sudden<i>, </i><i>too</i>te guilt meant <i>nothing </i><i>to </i><i>me</i>. It <i>was </i><i>worthless</i>. And <i>when </i><i>they </i>dragged <i>my </i><i>mom </i><i>and </i><i>brother </i>into that basement, <i>she </i>was still thinking about killing me <i>first</i><i>. </i><i>Now </i><i>she </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i>scream <i>and </i>break down<i>? </i><i>What </i>a joke.
“Say something!” Sarah shouted, biting her lip when the
man gave no reply.
Jordan, noticing the man’s rising irritation and impatience, quickly stepped forward. He grabbed Sarah’s shoulder and urged softly, “Don’t lose your head. Turning on him now won’t help anything…”
The man’s lips curved slightly, a hint of amusement flickering there. He nodded. “Exactly. Don’t forget who you are, or where you stand.”
“There are still two members of the Abyssal Choir left.” His gaze slid over to Ludwig and Jean. “Stop just standing there. Let’s take them out together…<b>” </b>
As soon as he finished speaking, Jordan turned toward Jean and Ludwig. His eyes narrowed, and something dangerous shed beneath them. “Got it.”
Without another nce at Sarah, Jordan led the rest of Stormwoven straight toward Jean and Ludwig.
For Jordan, the top priority now was to eliminate these two “remnants” of the Abyssal Choir–he couldn’t leave them behind as a threat.
Ludwig’s expression tightened. He moved swiftly, stepping forward to shield Jean, then tilted his head slightly and said under his breath, “I’ll hold them off. Find a ce to hide, okay?”
Jean didn’t want to distract Ludwig; she nodded firmly. “Don’t worry about me. I’ll protect myself.”
Ludwig didn’t say anything more. His figure shot forward like a phantom, intercepting Jordan and his people on his own.
They had the numbers on their side, but getting through Ludwig wasn’t going to be easy.
After all, this was Ludwig.
Jean took a few steps back, steadying herself as she watched everything unfold.
Sarah stood motionless, her eyes dull and lifeless, lost in thought. The man’s gaze dropped coldly to the floor; whatever he was thinking, it didn’t show on his face.
Jean nced over at her family who were teetering on the edge of death. A sharp pain twisted in her chest.
She wanted to save them. But right now, the only way to do that was to defeat that man.

Her fingers, hanging loosely by her side, started to curl–coiling with <b>purpose</b>. <b>The </b>man’s <b>attention </b><b>was </b>focused elsewhere, locked on the fight between Ludwig and Jordan’s group.
Jean realized–<i>this </i>was <i>her </i>chance.
She bit her lip and charged forward, summoning everyst ounce of strength in her body<i>. </i>She <b>moved </b><b>faster </b>than she ever had in her life,unching a surprise attack from his blind spot.
In both of her hands, slim, nearly invisible secret weapons suddenly gleamed into view.
