NovelEnglishChapter 269 "Just because you once savedwith a mere sentence, you've sacrificed so much, Max. It's not worth it, is it? So many people have paid a heavy price for me, losing their lives in the process. How could I possibly be happy about that?" Yeah, who would want to live a life stepping over the bodies of others? "Claire..." He heldin his arms, and I quietly rested against his chest. What am I supposed to do? Every tI seek the truth, someone dies.

It was only when he left that I could slip away to find the sister in the mountains. I wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with her in battle; after all, we've both tasted death, haven't we? When I woke up, Kate and Tracey had already left. Friends and enemies, folks who lovedand folks who hated me, one by one, they all took off.
I didn't know where Max had gone, only that he was navigating through perilous waters.
Helen stayed by my side, and I told her, "I want a Beacon Hollow honeycake. Go buy one for me, will you?" Instead, she grabbed my hand, shaking her head, "You're trying to trickinto leaving again. It won't work, Claire Floyd. Mr. Hilton will lose his mind if he can't find you. Last time, he wouldn't have gotten hurt if I hadn't let you go on your own. He was caught off guard when he found out, and that's how he was ambushed. He had everything planned out already." She looked at me, shaking her head incessantly.
"I know Max is solid, but how much can just one guy do to keep everyone safe? I can't just keep ducking and hiding!" I thought I was just an ordinary person mired in the mud, but it turns out, all these deaths were because the royal family was after me. What is my true identity? Protecting me...for what future mission? The last tMax got hurt, it must have been the work of those royal folks. After all, taking those girls meant opposing the royals.

"Consider it my way of making amends for my mistake with you and Mr. Hilton last time." I patted her head, "Helen, I don't want to create more karma. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just lived well? Why must people die for me?" Originally, if I had died last time, no one else would have been in danger, right? "I don't care, I'm coming with you." I didn't argue with her, nodding in agreement. Well, if it's a journey to the underworld, it's better not to walk it alone.
So, together we set off for the mountain. As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw the man with the gold chain. Upon seeing me, he immediately knew
down, The new master, I've been waiting for you. The previous master instructedto wait here for you, saying you would definitely come." She's gone? I'm the new master? The man with the gold chain opened the door of the armored vehicle for us. Helen and I got in, wondering what lay ahead.
"The master has returned hbut
left a video message for you in her bedroom. Once you arrive, you can m watch it. You'll understand what you're up against and then decide whether you want to live as an ordinary person or stand shoulder to shoulder in battle with her."
I nodded. For the future, I wanted to have the strength to protect Max After being protected for so long, it's about tI rise up, isn't it? Max will wait for me, right?
