someone next door!

Three people followed the sound and began to search for the mechanism to enter the adjacent room.

Just now, Gang Belle and the group left silently from here, so they can determine that the mechanism is hidden somewhere here.

The screams became more and more desperate, indicating that some invisible conspiracy was taking place inside.

Suddenly, Gordon shouted, "Found it, the mechanism is right here!"

A Stone door in front suddenly opened, and Bradley led Freya's hand and rushed in.

The voice just now was Xavier, Bradley could almost be certain, Xavier was in trouble!

After entering the Stone door, the three arrived in a pitch-black secret room, but there was no trace of Xavier here.

The calls, however, became closer and closer, each ying more desperate, sending shivers down One's spine.

"There must be other mechanisms here!" Freya tapped the wall, having explored the underground maze several times, she roughly understood the structure here, with layers of mechanisms combined. The reason the sound was so clear was all because of the echo. She walked towards the corner, her slender hand gently touching the wall, then pressed her ear against it. Previously, she followed her master to learn martial arts, training in a closed space for a period of time. In order to help her quickly improve her martial skills, her master set up various mechanisms in the secret room. She broke through these layers of mechanisms and left the secret room. Although scarred, being able to break free like a butterfly from a cocoon was her greatest achievement. Following the rules of the secret passage mechanisms, Freya quickly found the breakthrough point. "Bradley, Mr. Kane, over here!" she said, then forcefully knocked on the wall, and a Stone door appeared before her eyes. And the sound of screams was heard not far away.

Three people quickly rushed in. It was pitch black here, couldn't see a thing, like a sinister hell. The only sound in the ears was sporadic noises. It was... a snake group! Bradley used a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings, only to see snakes crawling all over the floor, with screams coming from the darkness. "Xavier is right there!" he said hoarsely, clearly seeing a person lying in the corner, covered with densely packed snakes. The strong sense of density made Freya's head dizzy, but she still controlled it with strong willpower, then blew the wolf-tooth jade whistle. The snake group quickly retreated from the body, disappearing in the blink of an eye. And as the snakes dispersed, Bradley clearly saw the person lying on the ground, no, can't say person, it was simply like a ghost.

His body was covered in colorful snake bites, marks left by poisonous snakes. Worried that Freya couldn't bear to see it, Bradley pulled her into his arms, pressing her head against his chest. Xavier had also been attacked by blood-sucking bats in the past, his entire body bitten beyond recognition. If he hadn't been used to seeing such scenes on the battlefield, he too wouldn't have been able to bear it. Gordon approached to test Xavier's breathing and found a faint breath still present. However, being bitten like this, coupled with the fact that all these snakes were raised by Belle, it is feared that Xavier may not survive this ordeal. After all, these are the most poisonous cobras, injected with a new type of venom, incredibly potent and dominant. Even if a great deity came, they couldn't save Xavier. "Bradley, he... might not make it," Gordon turned to look at the two. Bradley helped Freya to rest nearby before coming forward to assess the situation.

After seeing the situation of Xavier, Freya was equally shocked.

Although Freya had already guessed how bad the situation was, she had forced herself not to look. But when she saw the figure on the ground covered in flesh, along with a pool of dark blood, she felt dizzy.

The strong smell of blood filled the space, making her feel nauseous and uncomfortable, clutching her chest.

Bradley, seeing her like this, contacted South to have him bring people over to handle the situation, and then quickly left with Freya.

...

After Xavier was taken out of the underground labyrinth, he was immediately taken to the headquarters medical room.

Unfortunately, on the way there, the poison spread and he began to vomit blood frequently.

When Hawke came out to greet them, Xavier had already passed away.

Having a good relationship with the Xavier family's four brothers, Hawke watched helplessly as he died, losing control of his emotions.

The heartbreaking cries startled Ella who was recuperating in the ward.

"What's happening outside?" She turned to look at Xavier next to her.

"Nothing, don't worry."

Xavier didn't want her to know about Xavier's situation, after all, he had risked his life to infiltrate the enemy camp to catch Belle. If Ella found out that Xavier was dead, she would definitely feel guilty.

"Is that so?"

There was no expression on Ella's face, and there was no vitality in her eyes. She appeared detached, as if she had seen through the world, quiet enough to cause panic.

Since waking up, she had remained calm, showing no signs of the struggle and despair of a disfigured patient, which made Xavier uneasy.

After all, people have emotions, but once they don't know how to express their emotions, psychologically speaking, that's a sign of illness.

Xavier also knew that his death had caused Ella great trauma, she even suffered from serious heart disease, leading to severe bleeding of the heart.

But he hoped that Ella could have an emotional outburst, as the pent-up emotions would have a greater impact on her psychological state.

"Well, your current task is to rest well, which is beneficial for wound recovery." Xavier poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "I heard from Dr. Hawke that you will be leaving in ten days?"

Xavier shifted the topic. Ella nodded, "That's right, my friend is still working hard for me in the underground maze, how can I lie here and ignore it." "But the injury on your face..." Before Xavier could finish, Ella coldly interrupted, "The heart is already dead, even if I have a stunning appearance, that person will never see it." With that, her sharp eyes scrutinized the man in front of her. He said his name was Kane... But in Ella's heart, is that really who he is? Xavier's hands clenched uncontrollably under his knees, as tears welled up in his eyes when they were cast down. No, he can see it, he has always been aware of her existence. In fact, even if her face cannot be repaired, he would not reject her.

After all, what he loves is her as a person, not these superficial things. Besides, he is ugly himself, so how can he have the qualifications to despise her?

"I'm going out for a look."

Worried that she would notice his emotions, Xavier did not dare to stay any longer, getting up to leave.

"Kane."

Suddenly, Ella called out his name, Xavier stiffened, his steps halted.

Forcing down the complex emotions in his heart, he was about to turn around when he heard her speak, "Your back and my friend's are very similar."
