“Give her my location.”

Conan hesitated. “But she…”

Right now, Marie was like a madwoman when it came to Dan–every meeting turned into a brawl, and she always went for blood.

She wasn’t worth seeing. Not like this.

Dan lifted his gaze slightly, eyes sharp and icy. One look was all it took to shut Conan up.

Whatever protests he had died in his throat.

He went off to pass the message.

Left alone, Dan sat quietly as a tide of emotion flickered in his dark eyes.

“She came in person… good.”

Whatever her reasons, he didn’t care.

All he knew was, if Marie didn’t come to him now, there might not be another chance to see her for a long time.

Just thinking of the fury she always brought with her lately, Dan rose from his seat and walked to a nearby cabinet.

He opened it and pulled out a small box–inside were sticks of incense.

He chose one, lit it, and set it into a carved peacock–shaped burner.

Then he returned to his desk and, from the drawer, took out a small bottle of pills. He swallowed one.

It didn’t take long for Marie to receive Dan’s exact location.

She charged over immediately.

Sophia raised a pair of binoculars to survey the area surrounding the castle.

“No guards?”

Seriously?

With Ashen Pact in such chaos, Dan had no one stationed around his castle?

That alone reeked of a trap.

Marie, hearing this, smirked. She strode forward without a care. “Relax. He knows I’m here for him.”

Clearly, she hadn’t beaten him hard enough last time.

Why else would he dare use her again?

Marie snuck into the castle.

No one tried to stop her. Not even once. When she found Dan, he was exactly where she expected him–in the study.

The air was thick with scented smoke the moment she stepped inside.

Marie wrinkled her nose in disgust. Seriously? Still with the incense? Smells like death in here.

Then she met his eyes–sharp, predatory, unreadable.

Dan sat casually behind the desk.

Seeing her, he gave a faint smile. “You chased me all the way here? What now–trying to pin another-”

Before the word blame even left his mouth, Marie launched herself at the desk.

One swift kick aimed straight at his face.

She was savage. Vicious.

Dan’s face darkened. “Marie.”

“You bastard.”

All her fury from the past few days surged forward at once. She couldn’t even see straight.

But this time, Dan wasn’t caught off guard. He spun his wheeled chair back just in time to dodge her full–force kick.

Marie was livid.

She lunged.

“Where’s Tessa? Where the hell did you hide her?”

Just saying Tessa’s name made her angrier. She went at him even harder.

But Dan was ready.

This wasn’t like last time. He knew Marie was out for blood now–he wasn’t about to just let her beat him to a pulp again.

He fought back, blocking her blows with equal force.

“Tessa’s missing?” Dan’s voice dropped cold. “I didn’t take her.”

“You’re still denying it?” Marie shouted, heart pounding with rage. She threw punch after punch, each one heavier than the last.

Even prepared, Dan took several hard hits. The bruises on his face that had just healed began to swell again.

But as she kept fighting, Marie’s body suddenly felt… off.

She was still angry–but her strength was draining, her head growing heavy.

Her limbs lost power fast. Within minutes, Dan had her pinned against the desk.

“Enough,” he growled. “I told you–I didn’t take her

Marie slapped at him, grabbing his collar. “If not you, then who?!”
