Adel's hoarse voice quietly emerged from the darkness, as the Blood Vulture Intelligence Officer advised:
"The clan is languishing now, with very few trusted individuals at the master's disposal. As one of his most trusted few, you must bear the expectations of such a high position."
"Swish"
A slender defensive blade was drawn by Maxim and precisely stopped at Adel's slender neck, appearing from behind.
It was not a simple threat but carried true intent to kill, the cold aura making Adel halt immediately.
She understood why Maxim was so angry.
"Traitor!"
Mark turned around.
He gazed at Adel with a look as though at a dead person. As a descendant of Murphy, he could clearly sense that the woman in front of him had severed her Blood Covenant with Master Murphy.
He shouted:
"Remember I warned you before? Adel, if you dare betray, I will make you pay! How dare you appear in front of me so boldly. The master trusted you so much, is this how you repay him?
