A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 625

At that moment, a deadly rage flashed in Yvan's eyes as he bellowed, "Let's go!"

In the next second, countless hidden forces emerged around Plum Resort, perched atop a cliff with fertile soil and scenic views, an ideal retreat for relaxation. But now, the air was thick with an ominous intent, the breeze carrying a whisper of bloodlust that sent shivers down one's spine.

Before Chad could even process what was happening, someone beside him silently fell, coughing up blood before convulsing a few times and lying still. The speed of death was so swift, there was no time to react.
