“Got it, Mauter) Xena didn’t dare to argue further, though her heart was retallation nice her betrayal came to light

Xena could only place her hopes on Ashton, hoping he was truly capable of standing against Selene, who was otherworldly realm, and the experts from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion. Otherwise, none of them with over i

Xena mobilized every subordinate she could command after taking a short rest. She then led her forces toward Lay after ensuring the operation would remain confidential

“Do we really have to make an enemy of Governor Laurent? She’s not only one of the deputy heads of the Heavenly Vedrá Pavilion but also an expert in the semi-otherworldly realm, Ms. Novak,” Kieranwhispered after dréetly approaching, and s

“You re afraid?” Xena asked coldly.

Kieran fell silent for a moment before replying in a barely audible whisper, “There is still a way out for us, Ms. Novak. If we tip off Governor Laurent and the Heavenly Medical Pavilion right now, they can set up an ambush to kilr Ashton. That way, we won’t just be off the hook-we’ll be rewarded for it!”

Xena snapped, “You’d better shut your mouth this instant! I’ve already sworn allegiance to Ashton, and I won’t betray him! Do you really believe a man like him didn’t make preparations? You’re completely blind to just how formidable and frightening he

“It’s a high-stakes gamble–and my money is on Ashton! If we lose, we’re dead anyway. But if we win, I’ll become the governor of Lavora, and the rest of you will have a great future ahead of you!

Kieran was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated that Xena would believe in Ashton to this extent, so much so that she would commit to making a mortal enemy out of the Heavenly Medical Pavilion.

“You can leave now if you’re having second thoughts,” Xena stated indifferently.

Kieran laughed nervously, terrified at the thought of leaving. He knew that the moment he stepped away, he would be executed, to keep the secret safe. He could only pray that Ashton was genuinely as formidable as Xena claimed at this moment.

It was gradually turning night, and teams of martial arts experts were stationed at Lavora Harbor, maintaining a sharp, vigilant watch over everything around them.

“How should we proceed with the operation, Master?” Xena asked, taking the initiative.

“You are to go ahead with your people and pinpoint exactly where those 1,000 children are being held. You can move in immediately to rescue them once you’ve located them. Your top priority is to guarantee the safety of every single child!” Ashton

commanded.

Xena nodded, saying, “Got it, Master!”

She then led Kieran and the others and walked right toward the harbor with complete bravado.

“Hold it right there!”

They hadn’t walked far when a divine realm expert from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion intercepted them. He scrutinized Xena closely before stating coldly, “Ms. Laurent’s orders are absolute no one is to approach the cruise ship.”

“How impudent!” Xena snapped, lifting her chin and raising her hand to deliver a sharp slap directly across his face

“Have you gone blind? Do you not know who you’re talking to? I’m Governor Laurent’s best friend and her most trusted confidante! She personally told me to come here tonight to oversee the protection of these children!

“Who knows what a disaster we’d have on our hands if we relied on fracompetent fools like you?”

Having been slapped across the face, the divine realm expert from the Heavenly Medical Pavilion was furious but dared not voice his anger. He merely clenched his fists.

Xena snapped, “Get out of my way and take me to where the children are being held right now so that I can report to Governor Laurent!”

“Uh…”

“What? Do you have a problem?” Xena asked, exuding a trace of killing intent.

“I-I don’t have any issue at all… I’ll show you the holding area right now, Ms. Novak…”,

“You’ve got some sense after all!” Xena secretly breathed a sigh of relief, though she knew full well that she couldn’t keep up the deception for long.

She understood that bloodshed was bound to run rampant tonight.
