Chapter 1670: Standing on the same battlefield


    "Charl!"


    After Charl stomped out of the room, Sigmund, Raishin, Yaya, and Frey chased after her.


    "Calm down, Charl."


    Sigmundnded on her cap.


    "You''re being rash. You''re not going to be able to save Wu Yan like this, you might even make things worse."


    Sigmund warned her.


    "Sister! Please, don''t go!"


    Henriette pulled Charlotte back while shaking her head.


    "Even you won''t be able to stand against them.""You want me to watch like this?!"


    Charlotte yelled.


    "He did this for me. And, Kingsfort is trying to get him!"


    "I made Felix jump into that sting operation. I am also responsible for dragging him out. Wu Yan attacked Felix because I was too weak to fight. They should have gone after me, not him."


    Charlotte''s eyes moistened.


    "He is being used because of me. How can I sit idly by?"


    "It is just Kimberly''s guess."


    Raishin red at her.


    "We don''t know the truth yet."


    "You said only the Kingsfort could threaten him. Only factions like that can make him bend to their wills."


    Charlottepletely jumped the gun, she realized it now.


    "The Kingsfort are losing power but they have a reputation. He isn''t a one-man army."


    "There are factions on par with the Kingsfort, why are you so sure it is them?!"


    Raishin refuted.


    "You think just with the addition of you, you both can somehow turn this around?!"


    "Even if I can''t, I must try!"


    Charlotte yelled back.


    "He isn''t going to do this alone!"


    Charlotte turned around to leave but one slender hand grabbed her while her other hand was grabbed by a firm grip.


    "Sister."


    Henriette pleaded with her.


    "Don''t go..."


    "Wu Yan wouldn''t want to see you like this."


    Frey advised her.


    "He tried to kill the principal for you. Calm down and only then can youe up with a n to bring him back."


    Charlotte lowered her head before something transparent dripped to the ground.


    "Ugh..."


    Sigmund sighed...


    "At least, we know the faction is a big one. Wu Yan did what they say so they released Henriette."


    "She is still a hostage."


    Raishin said.


    "But, since she is here, maybe there is a way to get out of the deal?"


    "No, this only means the viin can threaten Henriette''s life at any time."


    Sigmund roamed his gaze over everyone.


    "Maybe, there are people watching her from a distance."


    Everyone tensed up.


    "Well, that might be the case."


    Raishin started scanning Henriette up and down, including stopping a few seconds on her rump and racks.


    "Y-You scum!"


    Henriette backed away with a pale face.


    "W-what are you nning to do to me?!"


    "Raishin..."


    Yaya looked at him like an Asura.


    "You''re using such a lecherous gaze on this foxydy, are you charmed by her?"


    "Just think about my true intentions."


    Raishin protested.


    "I am just wondering if they installed bombs or magic formations on Henriette."


    That would exin how the hostages are so confident in letting Henriette run around like this.


    Granted, there is still the possibility that there are assassins on standby.


    At least, they couldn''t see anyone spying on them currently.


    Frey also told Garm dogs to sniff the area out to ensure there are no intruders around them.


    "Henriette."


    Charlotte asked anxiously.


    "Did they do anything to you?"


    Henriette calmed down before she slowly released Charlotte''s grip on her.


    "Don''t mind me, sister."


    Henriette exined.


    "Wu Yan was ckmailed, sister is in pain, everyone is worried, and I am the reason. Just let me die on my terms so Wu Yan cane back."


    "What are you saying?!"


    Charlotte yelled at her.


    "You''re my sister, I am not going to let you do that."


    Henriette gnashed her teeth.


    She turned to run into the forest.


    "Wait! Henriette!"


    Charlotte wanted to chase but Sigmund stopped her.


    "Let her go."


    "Sigmund, why are you?"


    "Let Henriette leave us for now."


    Raishin cut Charlotte off.


    "Let''s think about how to get Wu Yan back. If there are people tailing Henriette, letting her stay would just expose our ns."


    "I..."


    Charlotte said anxiously.


    "I am afraid she would do something hasty..."


    "Henriette is the key to making Wu Yan listen, they will do their best to keep her alive."


    Sigmund warned her.


    "She will be safe for now."


    Charlotte sighed after holding her breath.


    "Okay, you guys joining?"


    "He saved me before."


    Frey offered her help instantly.


    "It is my turn to save him!"


    "I am not that familiar with him."


    Raishin and Yaya exchanged a look.


    "We promised to fight so it would be troubling if he ran now."


    "You guys..."


    Charlotte mumbled.


    "So foolish..."


    "Anyway, let''s draft a n first."


    Raishin said.


    "Wu Yan is targeting the principal and the target is still alive. Wu Yan will most likely strike again."


    "We have to stop him at all costs!"


    Sigmund said.


    "If he killed the principal then it''s game over for us, there is no redemption for him."


    Charlotte and Frey nodded after exchanging a look.
