In the dungeon.

As soon as they entered, a foul stench filled the air.

Although Freya had given Juliet medicine to prevent her wound from further decay, the strong odor couldn't be dispelled.

Both of them wore gas masks as they went down, and from a distance, they could see a figure lying in the darkness. The squeaking of rats could be heard all around, even the rats were attracted by the smell and were gnawing on Juliet's decaying flesh.

"She probably won't hold on for long. Although I used medication to temporarily stop the decay, this foul odor will attract impure things. Instead of killing her, it's better to let her slowly rot, and be devoured by these disgusting creatures."

As they reached the entrance of the dungeon, the ground was crawling with disgusting maggots, creating an intensely disturbing sensation.

Ella squinted, staring deeply at the barely alive Juliet, his fists clenched tightly.

"You're right, killing her would only fulfill her. Let her hide in this filthy corner, let these disgusting things devour her until she turns into bones. And then... I will crush her bones into ashes, and sprinkle them in front of the graves of her dozen sisters, to commemorate their spirits in heaven."

These words, accompanied by a chilling wind, struck directly into Juliet's ears.

A woman trapped on the brink of life and death slowly opened her eyes to a slit. When she saw the two women standing in front of her, a look of utter resentment filled her eyes. Her body was enduring indescribable pain, with vile things gnawing at her flesh relentlessly. She tried to push them away but couldn't muster any strength. Juliet knew she didn't have much time left, but watching Ella live peacefully made her heart full of unwillingness. "Ella..." she gritted her teeth and weakly uttered the two words. Though her voice was drowned out by the squeaking of rats, it still clearly reached Ella's ears. Ella lazily raised her eyes, looking down at her with a cold smile. "How does it feel to lie in filth and rot?" Juliet struggled to breathe, unable to speak because a rat had crawled into her mouth, causing her to scream in agony the next moment. The sight was too disgusting, even though Freya wore a gas mask, she still felt a wave of nausea and disgust in her stomach. "Freya, hasten her decay. I want her to taste the bitterness of life before dying!"

Ella's cold eyes held no warmth, her slender fingers clenched into fists. If it weren't for this woman, a dozen sisters would not have died, she wouldn't have been hunted for five years, and Xavier wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Her hatred towards Juliet was like a raging river, wishing to skin her alive and crush her bones to dust! "Okay," Freya replied and shot out three silver needles from her body, directly piercing Juliet's three acupoints. These needles were soaked in corrosive material, enough to rot Juliet's body into a pile of bones in just seven days. The two then went to where One was detained, hearing screams coming from inside. "Let me out!" One’s hands and feet were bound with iron chains, and the sound of the chains sliding as she struggled was particularly loud. At that moment, the heavy iron door opened, but when she saw Freya and Ella standing in front of her, she couldn't find the words to speak.

She looked at Ella in astonishment, her pupils dilated as if she was about to vomit.

"How is this possible, you... why are you not dead yet?"

She had been ruthless before, stabbing Ella several times in a row. Even if she still had some breath left, it would not be possible for him to recover in such a short time.

But now, the man was standing right in front of her, alive and well, which made ying unable to believe it.

"I am going to die, who will make you suffer a fate worse than death?"

Ella said darkly, taking out a short dagger from his body, he walked closer to ying and made a cut on her ferocious face.

"The pain of disfigurement, the agony of five cuts, how do you think this debt should be settled?"

After speaking, Ella slightly tightened his fingers holding the dagger handle, the sharp blade cut open One's face, leaving blood marks on her rough skin.

Shewent crazy and roared at him, "I regret not using more force back then, I should have killed you on the spot!"

"As you're about to die, yet still talking tough, okay, I will first cut through your flesh, then lock you and Juliet together, let you experience the fate of being eaten by snakes, rodents, and maggots together, having your flesh devoured until there's nothing left!"

After speaking, Ella slashed hard with the dagger in his hand, and the next second a miserable scream echoed.

One cut after another, just like what was dying to her by Shadow in the past, she returned every bit of it to Shadow.

Soon, Shadow's face was covered in bloodstains.

After doing all this, Ella called two people to unlock Shadow's chains and take her away, locking her up with Juliet.

The smell of blood quickly attracted rats and snakes. When Ella saw Shadow being devoured by these filthy creatures, he turned away without looking back, his cold eyes covered in frost.

...

The two left the dungeon and returned to Raven Pavilion. On the way, they bumped into Bradley rushing over in a hurry.

"Freya, I have something to tell you!"

Ella said to Freya and then turned back to the room.

Once Everything was going, Bradley leaned close to Freya and whispered in her ear, "Xavier and Hawke have returned!"

Listening to Yin's words, Freya's eyes couldn't hide the surprise, "Really?"

"Yes, they're in the study. I'll take you to see them."

Bradley led Freya to the study, and sure enough, saw two people sitting on the sofa. He exclaimed with joy, "Dr. Xavier and Dr. Hawke, how did you come here?"

Dr. Hawke shrugged helplessly, "someone was worried about Miss Mi's injuries and came back to help. I can't stand seeing both of you sick and in trouble, so I came back to check on the situation."

He had put in so much effort to save both of them. If something bad happened now, all his efforts would be in vain.

Freya narrowed her eyes and looked at Xavier, "You've met with Ella, right?"

Before Xavier could answer, the talkative Dr. Hawke interrupted, "Not only did he meet her, but he also disguised himself and stayed by Miss Mi's side. Like a shy turtle, as soon as she left, he got anxious and asked me to administer a special shot to run after her immediately."

"Shut up!"

Xavier coldly interrupted. He had just wanted to ask about Freya and Ella's situation, but he noticed that Freya's condition wasn't quite right.

As a doctor, the most important thing to determine if a person is sick is to look at their complexion. Freya's skin was very pale, but it had a faint sickly and transparent look. Xavier immediately sensed that something was wrong.
