Chapter 1278
Alan and Ike were like light and darkness. If Alan was sunshine, then Ike was the dark, endless night.
Ike's hands were tainted with filth, and he only appeared in the darkness of the night.
Of course, Alan wouldn't let Ike kill the innocent.
"Ike, you don't have any evidence to prove that there's something wrong with Dr. Ophelia.
"Tell me, which spy would be so skilled in medicine that even the hospital director would praise her?
"Don't forget, Mr. Maxwell had insisted on bringing her back.
"She tried to escape a few times, but she was caught and brought back here.
"You're trying to kill her because of vague charges. Don't you know how mad Mr. Maxwell will be if he
wakes up and finds out?"
Ike replied, "I know that Mr. Maxwell will get mad, and he'll even punish me. Even so, I won't let any
potential dangers off the hook.
’Other people may not know how the Moonflowers got here, but you are well aware of that."
Olivia looked at Alan. "What's with the Moonflowers?"
"The soil in our country isn't suitable for Moonflowers to grow. Mr. Maxwell sent our people to dig out
the Moonflowers in Dexim City so that they could be planted here.
'He had spent a lot of manpower and resources on this project."

Wayne had never spoken a word of this. That night, Olivia was so focused on stealing the ring that she
didn't think much of it.
At that moment, when Alan mentioned it, Olivia finally realized what was going on.
"You must be so happy, right? Mr. Maxwell spent a lot of money just to move the Moonflowers for you."
Olivia's expression was cold.
"I'm not happy at all. To me, his feelings for me are no more than burdens. I don't like him, and I can't
reciprocate his feelings.
"I just want to leave here as soon as possible. That's all."
Ike said, "Leave? Hah, do you think I have no idea what you women are planning? You're playing hard-
to-get, aren't you?
"As long as you're still alive, Mr. Maxwell will be able to find you."
"That may not be the case. If I leave, you guys will never find me again.
"Chief, please get me out of here. Your brother is crazy. I promise you guys, I will never come back
again!"
Alan declined. "Sorry, Dr. Ophelia. I won't let my brother kill you, but I won't let you go so easily. Only
Mr. Maxwell can decide if you leave or not."
"What if I say that I want her dead by today?"
With a determined look on his face, Alan shielded Olivia. "Dr. Ophelia, please leave first. I’ll handle
things here. Hurry and go to Mr. Maxwell."
Olivia glanced at Alan earnestly. Mr. Tanner, I'll remember the kindness you've shown me today."
With that, she hastily ran away without looking back. She ran in the opposite direction, and when she
passed by some rockery, her body was suddenly pulled to the side.
"It's me," Undecim said in a low voice, "Did you get it?"
Still feeling some lingering fear, Olivia said, "Yes, but my identity is almost exposed. Ike wants to kill
me.
"Take the ring, and we'll go separate ways. There's a positioning device on the ring."
"Got it. Be careful."
Undecim handed the changing equipment, which was prepared beforehand, to Olivia. "I'm leaving now.
When we get the commission, the same rules apply."
"See you."
After handing the ring over to Undecim, Olivia could finally sigh in relief.
Throughout the process, Undecim never revealed himself. He had his own means of leaving.

they wouldn't be able to escape if they got caught.
Going their separate ways was the most effective and also the safest option.
After watching Undecim leave, Olivia slowly touched her thin mask. Then, she slowly peeled it from her
face. After that, she set it on fire with a lighter.
Soon, the mask turned into a pile of ash. Her identity as Ophelia had completely disappeared from this
world.
Olivia put on the dress Undecim had prepared for her.
She also sprayed a temporary dye on her hair, turning her dark hair into a chestnut color. Then, she hid
the red marks on her neck with concealer.
Sometimes, getting clear skin wasn't a good thing. Just a slight mark on her skin would stand out a lot.
When Olivia was hiding in a corner and putting on makeup, deafening thunder suddenly sounded
above her head. It seemed to tear the sky apart.
Olivia looked up at the sky, which had suddenly turned dark. "What's going on? Why is it suddenly
going to rain?"
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
The sleeping man was woken up by the thunder, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
