Theodore was very calm about Rosalie's confession.
"I already know he's my child. | don't blyou. | know | did wrong, that's why you didn't tellthe truth."
Nothing mattered in the face of death.
"Theo..." Rosalie sobbed brokenly.
"Cry, Rose. Cry as much as you want. Cry and vent all your frustrations. It's not good keeping it to yourself," Yerick said with a
devilish smile.
Just then, a helicopter roared overhead.
Yerick looked up and remarked calmly, "Seems like they found me."
Rows of armored cars suddenly sped toward them, screeching to a halt as they surrounded them. Everyone in the sky and on land

"Don't move! Put your weapon down!"
Rosalie looked up at the helicopter and the cars, and realized that someone had finallye to their rescue. She broke down in
tears of joy.
Many people hade, including sfamiliar faces such as Sebastian and Christopher.
Amidst the crowd, she saw a familiar figure. It was Justin, standing right at the front with a gun in hand, aimed right at Yerick.
"There's no escape for you, Yerick Zeller. Put your weapon down."
"Haha..." Yerick put the shovel down. "That took a while. You finally foundafter so much effort."
"Yerick Zeller, surrender your gun and put it on the floor where we can see it. Hurry up!" Justin ordered threateningly.
Yerick looked around and saw everyone armed with either guns or weapons, clearly able to subdue him in a second. Yet, he said
with a smile, unperturbed, "It's good to see so many people dying alongside me. | wouldn't be lonely in the underworld."
"Still trying to be stubborn even in the face of death," Sebastian said furiously. He then turned to Rosalie. "Rose, I'vee to save
you."
"Sebastian, don'te over!" Theodore suddenly yelled.
Sebastian smirked. "Theodore, you couldn't save Rose, and now you're stoppingfrom saving her?"
"Theodore's right, don't go close to Rose," Yerick warned. "There's a bomb below her feet. You'll only get hurt if youe."
Sebastian stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head around. "What did you say?"
"I planted many bombs underground, and there are timers on them all. I'm so happy that so many people are going to die with me.
Thank you, all."
Everyone's faces turned solemn.

"Yerick Zeller!" Christopher said. "You have nowhere to run, and you have no right to negotiate terms with us."
"So be it. Three minutes left till the bombs explode. The landmines have a kill radius of tens of kilometers. Seems like your rescue
efforts are going to be in vain."
Justin tightened his hold over the gun. "You're still in tto surrender now and tell us where the main switch is. For all you know,
you might survive."
"What exactly do you want? Do you really want to die with everyone here?" Sebastian yelled furiously.
No one expected Yerick to do this.
"lI don't care if all of you die, but | don't want Rose to die," Yerick said as his gaze landed on Rosalie. "Whether all of you survive
depends on what she says."
Yerick's words made everyone tense up as they shifted their gaze to Rosalie.
"Of course | want everyone here to live on," Rosalie immediately said.
But she knew things wouldn't be so simple.
