Ella's hazy consciousness forced herself to open her eyes tightly after hearing Gordon's name.

"So the person in the underground maze is really Gordon?"

Her voice was endlessly cold, and even the look in Belle's eyes could hardly conceal the hatred.

It wasn't until now that Belle realized she had said the wrong thing.

She opened her mouth to say something, but then heard Ella say, "Gordon disappeared without reason on the negative first floor. It turns out it was you who secretly acted, Belle... How could you be so heartless and ruthless?

Even if that man is not good enough, he is someone you once loved. Imprisoning him like this, do you still have a shred of humanity left?

A single 'Belle' caused the angry woman to change her complexion immediately.

After being a caring mother for some time, she sometimes wonders if just living a lifetime with her Yara like this would be fine.

After all, Ella has taken care of her so well, making her experience a kind of affection she had never felt before.

Now she calls herself by her full name, Belle surprisingly feels a bit uncomfortable, and even more unfamiliar. She lifted her eyes to meet Ella's indifferent gaze, and her heart trembled inexplicably. "Ella, I..." "Don't call my name!" Before she could finish, Ella coldly interrupted her, "I really regret saving you. I should have let you die in that car accident back then. Then I wouldn't have to deal with this trouble now!" If Belle's life had ended back then, there wouldn't be so many troubles now. This woman now is like a devil, who knows what she will do next. But Ella has a strong premonition that the days ahead will definitely not be peaceful. At least until the secrets of the maze are revealed, this place will inevitably become a hell of sin. Hearing her words, Belle's eyes darkened, her voice laced with icy venom, "Ella, no matter what, I am still your mother. Even if you refuse to admit it, our blood relationship cannot be severed. What you should do now is stand united with me outwardly, instead of siding with outsiders to go against your own mother."

Ella laughed sarcastically as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Are you even worthy of being a mother?" Back when she was at Raven Pavilion, this woman, despite valuing herself, still saw herself as a pawn. Even after they were reunited, she always portrayed herself as a loving mother, but who would have thought that it was just a facade, with dark deeds being dying behind the scenes. In the end, she had always been a pawn, never truly gaining this woman's sincerity. "Ella!" Belle's eyes turned cold, as she sternly warned, "Don't toast and not drink, you know my methods." "What, are you trying to kill me?" Ella fearlessly met her malicious gaze, smiling lightly, "Come on, if you want to kill, do it now, otherwise, if I find the opportunity, I will definitely kill you too." Ella never held out hope for this belated affection from Belle. Even if it's ruined now, she will never show mercy!

She would rather believe that Belle also thinks the same!

Belle looked at her with a cold gaze, squinted her eyes and said harshly, "ying, lock the person up, and if she manages to escape, I will deal with you as well."

"Yes!"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of ying's mouth.

If the person is in her hands, how easy it would be to torment them?

Even if she couldn't kill Freya, she still wanted to take a bite out of this woman!

...

The next day.

Freya woke up early.

She had been thinking about rescuing Ella all night, although she had closed her eyes, she had never truly fallen asleep.

Bradley brought breakfast, and after the two of them had finished eating in the room, they led a group of people into the underground maze. Before leaving, Freya brought many medicines to deal with vampire bats, as well as some self-defense ammunition, and of course, enough silver needles. "After all, the underground maze was created by Belle single-handedly. Even if we have more people, we still do not have the advantage in terms of terrain, so it is necessary to bring some ammunition to prevent this situation," Bradley said. He reached out and touched her hair, then handed her a box. "What is this?" Freya asked suspiciously, blinking her eyes. "Open it and see," Bradley replied. Freya opened the box and found a piece of soft armor inside. "This is made of a special material. Wearing it can protect you from any external injuries," Bradley explained. After that, he took out the soft armor and personally helped her put it on.

This is a family heirloom left by the southern country. Originally given by the father to the mother, then passed on to him, and now he has given it to Freya. This is an object of love, originally meant to protect the beloved from harm. Freya looked at the soft armor on her body, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, and threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly. Feeling her strength, Bradley smiled faintly and said, "It's getting late, let's go." Just then news came from the underground maze, reporting the presence of suspicious figures. And it wasn't just ying person. It seemed there would soon be major activity in the underground maze, so they had to investigate quickly. The two of them quickly descended into the maze, accompanied by Ah Juliet and many others from the Spirit Pavilion. To prevent attacks from vampire bats, Freya distributed medicine powder to each group, just in case. The group split into three paths, with Ah Juliet leading the Spirit Pavilion team to search the negative first floor.

As for Freya and Bradley, they directly descended to the negative second floor. Before this, Bradley had sent several waves of people down, and many traps on the negative second floor had already been destroyed, so their descent went smoothly. However, the structure of the negative second floor was more complex than the negative first floor, with too many diverging paths and traps hidden in discrete locations. They were cautious not to act impulsively to avoid provoking a crisis. Bradley held Freya's hand tightly, carefully leading the way in front of her. Arriving at the secret room where cotton and liquid medicines were discovered last time, Everyone had already been emptied out, indicating that the other party was worried about exposure and had evacuated. "After genetic matching, the samples taken last time were confirmed not to belong to Juliet, Belle, or Gordon. This means that besides these two people, there are others here." As for who it is, she couldn't figure it out no matter how much she pondered. "Stop thinking about it. No matter who it is, they will eventually reveal their true nature," Bradley said lightly, but his eyes, shrouded in darkness, gleamed with ruthless determination. The people he sent down mentioned that the other party was a woman in a black robe, but they had not seen her true face, making it impossible to confirm her identity. For some reason, a familiar face occasionally flashed in his mind recently.

Just as they were thinking, a black shadow flashed in front of them.

"There's someone over there!"

Freya exclaimed, and instinctively followed after.

Bradley immediately followed suit.

Chasing the black shadow led them to a secret room, where the shadow mysteriously disappeared.

"There are traps everywhere here, be careful."

Bradley and Freya stood back to back, squinting as they carefully surveyed their surroundings.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the darkness and aimed directly at Freya.

Freya swiftly dodged, only to see a star-shaped hidden weapon embedded in the opposite wall with a clang as it hit the ground.

Before they could catch their breath, the opponent swiftly launched an attack.
