A little more than ten minutes later, on a barren planet with no signs of life…
“Clarence, where exactly are you planning to take the little female?”
Alaric had appeared all of a sudden. Seeing him, Emma’s face lit up with joy. “Alaric!”
The moment Alaric saw that Emma was safe and unharmed, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Don’t be afraid, Emma. I’m here.”
Clarence looked at Alaric and let out a cold laugh, forcefully pulling Emma back to his side.

“If Kieran had come, I might’ve been a little wary. But you, Alaric–you useless waste–do you think you can steal someone from me?”
“Clarence, that foul mouth of yours is just as annoying as ever.” After saying that, Alaric raised his hand as if suddenly turning ruthless and struck toward Clarence.
Clarence was holding Emma and hadn’t expected Alaric to actually attack.
He immediately dragged Emma backward. “Alaric, are you crazy?”
Emma was still in his hands, yet Alaric dared to attack. Wasn’t he afraid of hurting her?
Alaric said nothing. Those fox–like eyes of his, which usually carried a teasing smile, were now filled with icy killing intent.
Without giving Clarence a moment to catch his breath, Alaric gathered violent energy in his palm and launched another merciless strike at him.
The force of the attack made it seem as though he didn’t care at all whether it would affect Emma, who was still being held by Clarence.
Seeing this, Clarence’s expression darkened.
He instantly released his grip on Emma and dodged swiftly to the side. At the same time, overwhelming, fury surged in his eyes.
“Fine, Alaric. Since you’re looking to die, I’ll grant your wish!”
Before Clarence even finished speaking, a cold glint flashed at his fingertips. Several invisible threads shot out instantly, twisting through the air as they rushed toward Alaric.
Just as Alaric managed to entangle Clarence in battle, a deep blue vine suddenly appeared, wrapping gently and precisely around Emma’s waist.
Emma felt a sudden tightening around her waist. In the next instant, her entire body lifted into the air and swept rapidly backward
The next second, she landed steadily in a familiar, warm embrace. The faint scent of grass and trees lingered at the tip of her nose. calming and reassuring.
Emma looked up and met a pair of eyes filled with worry and heartache. Silas held Emma tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.

“Emma, are you hurt?”
Lowering his head, Silas carefully looked her over from head to toe. His voice carried an unmistakable trace of lingering fear.
Seeing Silas there, Emma was a little surprised.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
The moment Clarence saw Emma being taken away by Silas, he instantly flew into a rage. “So you planned this all along!”
Alaric was responsible for distracting him, while Silas was responsible for rescuing her.
“In that case, you can die together.” Originally, Clarence had planned to spare Alaric’s life for Emma’s sake. After all, Alaric was her
mate.
But now that the two of them were looking for death, he had no reason to hold back.
Seeing Clarence attacking Alaric with lethal intent, Emma grew worried.
“Car Alaric beat Clarence?” she asked anxiously.
Silas glanced at Alaric, who was currently fighting Clarence, and said, “Don’t worry. Alaric only needs to hold Clarence off for a little while. Kieran and the others will be here soon.”
Hearing that Kieran would arrive shortly, Emma instantly felt relieved.
She was just about to ask Silas how he had found this place so quickly, but before she could speak, a sudden, intense pain shot through her wrist.
It felt as if thousands of steel needles had pierced straight into her bones, or like a powerful electric current had surged through her entire body.
The pain came without warning, sharp and overwhelming.
“Ah!”
Emma’s face turned deathly pale. Unable to hold it in, she cried out in pain as her entire body curled up in Silas‘ arms.
\
It was the silver ring Clarence had put on her! She had moved more than thirty feet away from him.
“What’s wrong, Emma?” Seeing Emma suddenly in such agony, Silas quickly pulled her closer into his arms
“It’s this bracelet.” Emma struggled to raise her wrist. The pain was still surging through her, so intense that she could barely speak clearly.
“Clarence was the one who put this on me. He said that once I wear it, I can’t go more than thirty feet away from him
Otherwise, it would issue a warning
But that lunatic never said that going beyond the limit would inflict pain.
