Chapter 447 This Is All Your Fault
Liam shook his head with a soft smile.

He had taken off his mech suit, revealing his lean, well-defined muscles. The moonlight cast a healthy glow over his skin, and Layla’s throat tightened without her meaning to..
Layla quickly dropped her gaze. She chided herself silently. This was hardly the moment to admire someone’s physique.
She turned to Liam. “Will the guard unit get here tomorrow?”
Liam nodded. “That should work. We can head over to Scarlett’s place soon, use the show’s communication device, and reach out to the galactic police.”
Once they sorted out these details, the group agreed to head back to the cabin to make further plans.
Carson’s injury was fairly severe.
Shane had specifically warned him against overexerting himself, so Liam hoisted Carson onto his back.
They walked toward the cabin. The sun rose little by little and lit up the path ahead.
No one spoke much along the way. The mood felt heavy.
Back inside the cabin, Layla called Yates out from the basement hiding spot.
Yates saw everyone’s wounds and said nothing at all. He hurried straight to the kitchen to prepare food and hot water, so the group could regain their strength.
Layla and Liam helped Carson onto a bed to rest. Then they checked the rest of the team’s injuries to make sure none of them were critical.
Oliver and Arnold left right away to find Scarlett and tell her everything that had happened.
George and Shane went with Liam. They filled the other contestants in on last night’s fight, without naming Ciara directly.
Still, the warning let everyone get ready for possible danger.
Yates looked over at worn-out Layla, sympathy showing on his face. “Layla, you should get some rest, too.”
Layla shook her head. She reached out and ruffled Yates’ soft hair. “I’m fine. I’ll feel better keeping an eye on Carson.”
Yates did not push the subject. He fetched two extra cushions to make Layla more comfortable.
Meanwhile, Ciara and the mystery figure used black-hole teleportation and emerged on the opposite side of Planet A13.

Ciara wore a dark, furious expression. She faced the mystery figure, full of frustration. “This is all your fault. If you’d gone after Shane first back there, we wouldn’t have run into so much trouble.”
The mystery figure let out a cold laugh. “You have the nerve to blame me? Were your own people not completely useless? And Layla is far stronger than I expected.”
He had expected to overwhelm Layla after a few quick exchanges. Instead, they had traded blow for blow.
She had nearly gotten the better of him.
He knew last night could have gone badly for him if he had not injected the Berserker Serum ahead of time.
Ciara’s tone softened. “What are we supposed to do next?”
The mystery figure pulled off his cloak slowly. His movements carried lazy arrogance, and his sharp-featured face came into view.
A silver scar ran from his eyebrow down to his temple on the left side of his forehead, standing out starkly.
He glanced at Ciara and let out a scoff. He tossed a bottle of pale-blue liquid down at her feet.
The royal family’s emblem was carved into the glass, flickering into sight as the fluid swirled inside.
“Quit rushing,” he said calmly.
His voice sounded rough. He leaned against a tree and folded his arms across his chest. “This is a refined Berserker Serum. It triples your fighting power once injected, but it comes with side-effects.”
Ciara’s eyes went wide. She bent down and picked up the vial.
She twisted it gently between her fingers. The blue liquid swirled inside. Shock showed plainly across her face.
“That’s the mark from the Royal Academy of Sciences,” Ciara said.
She stared at the mystery figure in disbelief. She had never guessed the man “Mr. Reynolds” sent possessed such powerful connections. A smile tugged at her lips.
With backing like this, she no longer needed to fear Layla’s crew.
The mystery figure huffed at her reaction. He pulled his cloak back on. The hood covered most of his face, leaving only his tight-set jawline visible.
He sneered, “What do you think lets Mr. Reynolds operate so freely across the galaxy? Without the royal family pulling strings behind the scenes, you would not even be able to get near Planet A13’s atmosphere.”
