Chapter 1727
"We're on a mission to find the mastermind behind it all. Only by uncovering their identity can we destroy Erebus."
The only way for the members of S to be permanently safe was to destroy Erebus, because Erebus's goal was to massacre every member of S, including Alpha. Therefore, they couldn’t stay out of it.
"So, did you guys find it?"
Holden shook his head, his eyes filled with endless self-blame. If he hadn't made the wrong choice, maybe they still had a chance.
"I had thought about staying there and taking on more challenges until I found the person behind it all, but after Alpha let me go, I decided to leave."
He knew that Alpha wanted him to come back, to bring a message to Taya and help her live on with faith. So, between sacrificing himself and delivering the message, Holden chose to deliver the message. It may seem weak, but it was Alpha' last wish.
"He wanted me to keep you hidden all this time, but I couldn't do it. I'm sorry."
Taya nodded in understanding and slowly clenched the fingers resting on her lap.
Her inner sadness was taken over by anger, she didn't know when it happened, but she could feel the hatred spreading from her chest to her face, causing her once gentle face to be covered in a layer of frost...
Holden hadn't left yet, and Gigi, who had regained consciousness from her coma, forced herself to get up and returned to Blue Bay Island.
Without saying a word, she burst in and slapped Taya hard. Her strength was immense, and the slap sent Taya flying to the ground.
"It was your husband who killed Zack!"
Taya covered her burning face and raised her red eyes, tears blurring her vision, as she looked at Gigi.
As Taya saw tears streaming down her face and trembling all over, she slowly lowered her head...
Even though Zack didn't die because of her, he died because of Griffon.
No one would be generous enough to forgive someone who killed their loved one, even as a bystander. The fear of death would cause them to lose all rationality.
