Chapter 83 - Shadows of Chaos (3)

Claire was shocked when the gang members rebuked her. With a trembling body, both hands holding the knife that was now almost released because of the fear that was suffocating her. Her heart was beating fast, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest.She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm herself, but the image of Ethan lying helplessly continued to haunt her mind.Ethan's body, covered in wounds and blood, seemed unmoving. The stabs in his body had left a pool of blood beneath him, making Claire even more panicked."No... I can't give up now," Claire muttered softly, her voice almost lost in the tense atmosphere.As the gang members got closer with mocking laughter, the situation seemed increasingly hopeless.However, suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed from a distance. The clanging of armor was clearly heard in the hot afternoon air. Claire opened her eyes. With bated breath, she looked up, her eyes wet with tears searching for the source of the sound.
