    close anul spoke with solemnity, “One sacrifice is enough. There’s no need for moir lives to be lost. Tell


    my sister that I absolutely love skiing! If I don’t make it back, ask her to get me a pair of ski boots and


    burn them for inel


    With those words, Lawrence suddenly puslied Yvonne and Landon away and called out, “Miss Kirby,


    please take them and leave


    Tiana had been waiting for these instructions Without hesitation she firmly grasped Landon and


    Yvonne, swiftly guiding them out of the restaurant and disappearing from Lawrence’s sight


    The red–robed messenger stared at Lawrence and spoke deliberately. “Now, you may speak


    Lawrence’s voice wavered with apprehension, “Well, I can, but with so many cursed beetles here, I’m


    afraid Could you please remove them first?”


    His eyes darted toward the dark clouds outside, fear etched across his face.


    “Kid, stop ying tricks in front of me! The reil–robed messenger’s voice dripped with cold disdain.


    Lawrence trembled, consumed by fear and unease. He stammered, Tm genuinely scared. When fear


    strikes, my memory fails inc…


    The red–robed messenger’s eyes turned colder. Swiftly, he seized Lawrence by the neck, lifting him up


    as his voice chilled to the bone, “Kid, I see through your ploy. Are you stalling for time, hoping for


    Han Jaber’s arrival to save you?” Lawrence’s face flushed, his words stumbling. “… I’m not lying. I’m


    truly scared. I…

    Lawrence by the neck. With a swift motion. he shattered the rooftop of the Peace Restaurant,


    ascending into the sky.

    giant bird in flight, leaving no trace behind.


    As he departed, the dark clouds that had enshrouded the Peace Restaurant ascended into the sky,


    rapidly dissipating, and everyone at the Peace Restaurant heaved a sigh of relief.

    with terror.


    Simrly, Landon and Yvonne’s faces were ashen, consumed by despair.


    “Lawrence…” Yvonne murmured, her gaze fixed on the direction Lawrence had disappeared as shock


    and despair overtook her. Her heart sank into the abyss.


    Pale and filled with despair, Landon’s thoughts echoed, “It’s over! It’s truly over! If Lawrence falls into


    the clutches of the red–robed messenger, the chances of his safe return are slim. Han Jaber hasn’t


    arrived yet, leaving us powerless to save Lawrence. We can only watch helplessly as he’s taken away.”


    Clenching his fists, he resented his helplessness and silently sighed. “If only I were stronger.”


    Mr. Baxter emerged from the shadows, and his face clouded with gloom as he surveyed the dpidated


    Peace Restaurant and the blood–soaked ground.


    Taking a deep breath to regainposure, Tiana stood up swiftly and spoke with utmost seriousness,


    “Don’t lose hope just yet. Lawrence is intelligent; he’ll find a way. And he left you a clue. Think, where


    could he have gone?”


    “A clue? Landon and Yvonne perked up at the mention, casting aside their despair and sadness,


    racking their brains for


    answers.


    Yvonne’s voice lit up with realization as she eximed, “Lawrence mentioned skiing! Her eyes scanned


    the direction Lawrence had taken.


    “Skiing Landon murmured.
