She knew that today's explosion after Mr. Chardon had detonated his pineal gland meant that both he and Charlie were now dead. This presented the perfect opportunity for her to disappear without a trace. At this point, she had no desire to return to the Qing Eliminating Society or continue serving the British Lord. In her eyes, this person was extremely terrifying, and staying by his side would likely lead her to an outcome that was no worse than Mr. Chardon’s fate.
Instead of that, she thought it would be better for her to seize the opportunity to vanish from the world. After recovering from her injuries, she could find a suitable place to live in seclusion and make the most of the remaining two years of her life. For her, living freely for two years would be much better than living for another two hundred years with the British Lord.
With this thought in mind, she endured the intense pain and continued to crawl laboriously into the depths of the mountains.

Three minutes ago, at Champs Elys hot spring villa that was not far from the site of the explosion. Albert had arranged for the Ackers to occupy a villa that had been vacated earlier.
There were bursts of thunders sounding not far away, and the whole family felt the unusual nature of the thunderous sounds. All of them wore an anxious expression, especially Keith, who paced back and forth in the room, unable to stop for a moment.
When Albert saw this, he quickly stepped forward to reassure him, “Lord Acker, you don't need to worry. Master Wade’s strength is unparalleled. The repeated thunder sounds are likely caused by Master Wade summoning heavenly thunder. I estimate that Master Wade has already turned the assassin into ashes!”
Keith murmured, “You mean Charlie can summon heavenly thunder?!”
Albert nodded heavily and said with great admiration, “Of course! I was fortunate enough to witness Master Wade's heavenly thunder a few times. When the thunder comes, the sky is covered with dark clouds, lightning flashes, and thunder roars. Heavenly thunder descends from the sky, deafening, and the earth shakes. It's truly like a god descending!”
Keith patted Holly’s back gently, comforting her, “You don't have to worry too much. Charlie is a capable person now and is already on a different level than us. Even if we wanted to help, we wouldn't be of much use to him. Let's follow Charlie’s instructions and wait patiently here!”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a deafening explosion outside the villa. The tremendous sound shattered the laminated toughened glass, and everyone instinctively crouched on the ground.
After the explosion subsided, Holly suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and cried, “What just happened?! Charlie… Could it be that something has happened to Charlie?!”
Albert’s heart skipped a beat, and he became anxious. Having witnessed Charlie summoning heavenly thunder, he knew that the enormous explosion just now was not caused by heavenly thunder, so he shouted, “I'll go and take a look!”
