Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 234

Daniel took out a pill and pressed it against the corner of Alden's mouth. Alden's survival instinct drove him to lick the pill, and his condition eventually stabilized as its effects took hold.

Alden had done a lot for the Obsidian Group in the past. The fact that he had survived this ordeal convinced Daniel that he was worth cultivating.

After settling Alden, Daniel headed straight for his target. The toxin on his hand not only failed to harm him but had instead become the key to tracking his opponent.

"Showing off your skills in front of a master?" Daniel scoffed.

He fixed his gaze on an abandoned shelter ahead.

…

Inside the shelter, a gaunt man in a black robe squinted at the figure before him.

"Ms. Lawson!"

The man's voice was somewhat cold, making it difficult to discern his exact emotions.

Camille's brows furrowed. "Jake, why are you here?"

"Ms. Lawson, killing Daniel is an open opportunity for anyone," Jake chuckled.

Camille's eyes sharpened. "You think I don't know about that? Jake, what exactly are you planning?"

Hearing Camille's question, Jake suddenly laughed. However, his gaunt face made his smile look more dreadful than crying. It sent a chill down Camille's spine.

Jake shook his head with a helpless expression. "Ms. Lawson, you truly live up to your title as the Saintess. But if even you can't deal with Daniel, why should you mind if I step in to help?"

Camille hadn't dealt with Jake often, and seeing his expression made her frown.

"I will handle the matters in Qranross. Leave right now!" she said coldly.

"Forgive me, Ms. Lawson, but leaving is not an option for me."
