221. Deaths

Ethan's eyes narrowed at the figure's words. Four of them? He didn't believe in coincidences, but there were exactly four individuals in question—himself, Carl, Damian, and Ogos. This made him suspect that the masked figure was there specifically to kill them.

Carl and the others quickly grasped the situation, and panic gripped their hearts. They understood that if someone this powerful wanted to kill them, they would indeed die like ants, with no hope of rescue.

"And who are they?" Emily asked, her voice tinged with dread.

The cloaked figure didn't answer. Instead, he began walking toward Carl.

Seeing the mysterious figure approach, Carl's panic intensified. His heart raced with every step the masked figure took.

"W-why do you want to kill me?" Carl asked, his voice trembling.

The cloaked figure chuckled softly, the sound eerie and unsettling.
