Chapter 1259 Surrounded
Blood Rose cackled and replied, "What can I do? I can't sleep as long as you're alive."
A cruel smirk spread across Jewel's lips and taunted, "If you can't fall asleep, you should
die. That way, you'll sleep forever!"
However, Blood Rose grinned at her response and said, "There's no point in sleeping
alone. That's why I found you a companion today. Where's Olivia? The two of you are
joined at the hip, right?"
Jewel frowned, surprised that her investigation led her to Olivia. Suddenly, her heart
skipped a beat. Shoot! I have raced all the way over without any care. Olivia must have
chased after them as well. Even though I do not care about my own life, I cannot involve
Olivia in this. At that thought, she promptly turned around to run back the way she came
from.
However, Blood Rose knew she was going to do that. With the press of a button on the
remote in her hands, a thin coil of steel wire shot toward Jewel.

aware of the oncoming impact, she ran up the wall and leaped away to avoid the steel
claw that crashed into the alley's wall.
When Blood Rose's repeated presses of the recall button on the remote did not release the
claw from the wall, she became enraged and discarded the device.
After wasting precious seconds dodging Blood Rose's hidden weapon, the assassins
intercepted Jewel's escape attempt and surrounded her.
Then, Blood Rose slowly walked over with a cold, dismissive, yet deranged smile on her
lips. Her face twisted in hatred, and she uttered, "Be happy you were allowed to live for a
few more years. This is the end of the line for you."
Jewel scoffed in response. She had no qualms about dying, as she had known for a long
time that she was only alive because she was determined to get her revenge. Therefore,
she was indifferent to life or death. She knew she couldn't drag Olivia into this because
Olivia had a happy life, a loving husband, and a very cute son. Hence, she realized she
couldn't fight zealously.
As she prepared to eliminate the two assassins blocking her way and make a break for it,
she heard the sound of approaching footsteps toward the alleyway. Her heart sank, and
she prayed that it was not Olivia, but it was. Nonetheless, her heart was filled with warmth
when she caught a glimpse of Olivia's face out of the corner of her eye. She knew that
Olivia would never abandon her, regardless of when or how much she disliked Olivia's
presence to be there.
"Go back, Olivia," Jewel shouted.
On the other hand, Olivia could not leave Jewel alone after seeing her surrounded by
enemies.
When Blood Rose saw this, she laughed and said, "I never thought the two of you would be
so close after all these years. In that case, why don't I let you have what you want? That
way, you won't be alone ever again."
As Jewel fought, she spat out, "You should stop right now, Blood Rose. Olivia is not
someone you can make an enemy out of now."

Then, Blood Rose glanced at Olivia's approaching figure and scoffed. "She's the one who
came to die. What am I supposed to do?"
Jewel decided that it was pointless to argue with her and instead focused on launching
more powerful attacks on her enemies. She was regarded as an excellent close-range
combatant, but only when faced with a single opponent. Nonetheless, she was currently
up against five opponents, and while none of the assassins were as good as Blood Rose,
she would not be able to escape easily.
Additionally, Blood Rose joined in on the action as well.
They were on the same page, wanting to eliminate each other before Olivia arrived.
While Olivia raced over, she whipped a small bottle of bone-softening powder out of her
pockets. Although it might not be harmful, it could buy them valuable escape time. She
intended to scatter it all over the battlefield later, and then all the assassins would go limp
as their strength left their bodies in just a few minutes. However, one charged at her
before she could get near the group of assassins. Even though there was only one
assassin, she did not care because every opponent eliminated counted, so she promptly
scattered the powder.
