Chapter 96: Unyielding Resolve

"You staying here?" Caroline looked at Elias, her expression tinged with helplessness.

"I know you're important to the Princess, Mr. Elias. Maybe she'll listen to you, but... can you really handle so many ghouls?"

Elias watched the ever-increasing swarm of ghouls flooding into the manor and flashed a confident smile.

"Don't worry about me. I have my ways."

Seeing Caroline and the shadow guard still hesitating, Elias's expression turned stern.

"What are you waiting for? Get moving! The best help you can provide right now is not to add to the chaos!"

"Alright, alright..." Caroline and the guard exchanged a look, finally deciding to act. 

Under the protection of the shadow guard, the manor's servants orderly fled through a side exit.

Before leaving, Caroline looked back at Elias, her eyes filled with worry.

"Mr. Elias..."

"Don't worry," Elias said calmly. "I'll end this."
