Chapter 323 Maya’s Enemy

Finished

Lucy froze for a moment. She looked at the girl in front of her, who was half a head shorter, her lips twitching as she almost said “Don’t worry about me. Go.”

But before the words could leave her mouth, Maya grabbed her and ran in another direction.

Ahead of them was a window. Beyond it was at least a four-story drop. From there, they could cross over to another section.

Maya’s eyes lit up. She was ready to jump.

Lucy followed her gaze and her face went pale instantly.

“Hell no,” Lucy’s voice trembled. “Maya, please, I’m human. I can’t jump off a building!”

Maya glanced at her, then quietly pulled her leg back from the edge and dragged her along again.

The pursuers behind them were getting closer.

Maya’s breathing stayed steady, but Lucy was clearly reaching her limit. Panic showed plainly on her face. She had grown up in the Imperial Order. She knew exactly what it meant to fall into the hands of the government or the Silent Archive.

Maya felt the cold sweat in Lucy’s palm, and she tightened her grip.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll get you out. Trust me.”

Lucy was speechless.

“Really?”

“Mm-hmm,” Maya answered lightly. “The sky’s not falling today, Lucy.”

Lucy felt a strange sense of comfort just having someone beside her. If she had been alone, she would

roup of people stood at the far end of the right corridor.

She halted suddenly.

Their uniforms were completely different from the ones she had seen before-dark, tailored, precise.

At the front stood a man beneath the harsh emergency light, its pale glow tracing the sharp lines of his

Tall and lean, he stood with effortless case.

Shit!

Maya nearly jumped out of her skin.

Edric?

Her first reaction wasn’t, “Thank goodness, Edric’s here. We’re saved.”

It was, “Great. Edric’s here. We’re dead meat.”

Without thinking, Maya pulled Lucy and turned the other way.

“Uhh…” Lucy stumbled from the sudden change of direction, nearly falling. “Do you know the people over there?”

Her eyesight wasn’t as sharp as Maya’s.

In the dim light, she could only vaguely make out a group at the end of the corridor. The man in front looked tall, as if he was speaking to someone beside him.

At this point, she could only follow Maya blindly.

“I do,” Maya said calmly, even though panic was flooding her mind.

She still remembered what had happened when George was caught by Edric. He had been locked in a dark room for a full year, living a life worse than death.

Back then, Maya had been young. She had even clapped and cheered, delighted at George getting caught, waving her support for Edric. She had never imagined that one day it would be her turn.

Maya couldn’t laugh anymore.

A chill crept down her spine.

If Edric caught her, who knew how long she would be locked up.

And he clearly had opinions about her current look. She couldn’t let him get his hands on her.

“So who exactly is that?” Lucy asked between breaths, still confused.

Maya didn’t hesitate. “My enemy.”

Lucy blinked. “What?”

Enemy?

She didn’t understand at all, but she let herself be dragged in another direction.

They hadn’t run more than 60 feet when Maya sensed something was wrong. Different groups were
