Taste of Betrayal

Jayden's expression turned even more distorted after hearing the threat from the guardian about Alice and his child, but fighting directly might put Emma, Sydney, and the woman who is probably his mother in danger.

His gaze moved from Emma to the six guardians, all kinds of possibilities going through his mind, but every single one of them resulted in Emma's death while putting others in danger.

Just as Jayden was deep in thought and the whole place was filled with silence, Anna's body trembled as a voice rang in her head that no one else was able to hear; it was from one of the guardians.

"Anna, do it." At first, her body froze, and her mind became blank, but out of nowhere, a blood-red dagger appeared in her hand.

It was not any ordinary dagger; even the slight movement almost tore the space. She clutched the dagger tightly as her expression turned bloodthirsty, and her hand shot towards Jayden's body without even the slightest hesitation.
