The two men quickly responded, “Yes!”
With that, the two of them prepared to continue on their mission to capture Hepburn.
Hepburn was now seriously injured, yet she still clutched the dagger in her hand.
She knew very well that if she were to be captured by these people and taken to Ariarica, she was going to be subjected to severe torture if she did not confess.
Given that any normal person could not withstand such cruelty, they were eventually going to confess all their secrets eventually.
Hepburn felt immense guilt toward Nathan when the notion of falling into Ariarica's hand and exposing all of his secrets to his greatest enemy.
Hepburn's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and made a decision. Hepburn was willing to die before dishonor, and she could not reveal Nathan's secret to these people, even if it cost her life.
With these thoughts in mind, her gaze had become incredibly resolute.
Looking at Holmes and the others, Hepburn scoffed. “What I despise most are people like you, a bunch of lowly cowards. If you seek information from me, then come and join me in hell.”
Upon hearing this, Holmes and the others were taken aback.
Holmes' expression changed dramatically, his voice a mix of shock and anger. “This is bad. She wants to take her own life.”
However, it was already too late.
Hepburn was firm in her decision to end her life. She did not have the slightest bit of hesitation.
The moment she finished speaking, she violently plunged the dagger she was holding into her own heart.
With a huff, the dagger penetrated into her body, straight into the heart.
Hepburn's body stiffened as she slowly crumpled, the corners of her mouth still carrying a cold smirk. It seemed as if she was mocking Holmes and his ilk as if to say they would never succeed.
Holmes was so frustrated that he nearly jumped. “Darn it! Is she insane? And you fools! I told you to be more civilized, to be careful, yet you drove her to end her life!”
Even the best hospital, with its best doctors, could not guarantee Hepburn's survival. After all, this was a dagger straight into the heart.
