“Okay.” Severin nodded. “We should act now. I see only two gatekeepers at the gate over there, so I’ll


    go first. You can alle over once I give you the signal?”


    Zachariah, She, and the others nodded. After Severin finished speaking, he slowly walked. away

    Severin’s mouth curled up into a smile and he beheaded the two of them within seconds. After killing

    help but whisper to Zachariah who was beside her.


    Zachariah was just as shocked. “He told me that he was abroad when I called him a few days ago.


    Why is he here?”


    Severin said with a cold smile, “Perhaps he returned long ago once he knew that you were going to die.


    That poison is a slow poison, and it can’t kill you in a day or two. Even if you died after vomiting blood,


    the doctors in most hospitals might not be able to detect it, and they would probably chalk it up to a

    “Oh, Zenoah…I wonder why you’re trying to kill me!”
