Chapter 557: Chapter 500: Discovered
M Continent.

In the backyard room.

Edward Kirsten stood by the table, his pale blue eyes seemingly bloodthirsty, wrapped in a layer of terrifying murderous aura.

Alice Eugene knelt on the ground, her face pale, her forehead covered in beads of sweat, and blood seeping from the corners of her mouth.

She had laid in the hospital for more than forty days before barely surviving. She was just discharged today, and when she learned that Edward Kirsten had arrived, she hurried over.

At first, everything was fine, and Edward Kirsten even cared for her a bit.

But after resting in the backyard room, he went out for more than an hour, and when he came back, he started fighting with her.

The person who had gone with her to Mountain Sea Continent must have said something to Edward Kirsten.

That person had always been secretly hostile to her and didn’t even want to bring her back. Someone else brought her back, and now seeing her alive, they want to target her again.

Edward Kirsten took off his coat, revealing a neatly buttoned white shirt and a gray suit vest. He looked down at Alice with his chest heaving, “What did I tell you?”

Alice knelt on the ground for a moment in silence.

“Speak!” Edward said.

“Let me… let me bring Enigma back,” Alice said, trembling.

“How did you do it?” Edward Kirsten lifted his foot and kicked her left breast, “You want to kill Enigma, how dare you try to kill her!”

Alice lay on the ground and found that she couldn’t get up no matter how hard she tried. The place where he kicked was exactly where she was injured. Although the special effects medicine given by Edward Kirsten allowed her wounds to recover quickly.

But after being hit like this, it still made her feel so much pain that her whole body couldn’t exert any strength.

“Alice, was I too lenient with you, so you think my words to Enigma are just empty talk?” Edward Kirsten said softly.

Alice struggled to get up, bracing herself with both hands on the ground: “Henry, it’s precisely because you treat her too well. So well that even though you know she wants to kill you, you still want to keep her by your side.”

As soon as she finished this sentence, she started coughing.

Edward Kirsten had kicked too hard, and Alice coughed for a while before she finally started coughing up a bit of blood.

“So now you’re making decisions for me?” Edward Kirsten coldly stared at the blood in her palm, “Do my orders mean nothing to you?”

“No.”

“No?” Edward Kirsten crouched in front of her, looking at her, “I can’t even bear to raise my voice to her, yet you try for her life. Isn’t that going against my orders? Isn’t that treating my words like nothing? I was foolish to trust you.”

“Henry, I didn’t, I won’t, I will only be loyal to you alone, only be faithful to you alone.” Alice suddenly panicked.

Edward Kirsten looked at her without saying anything.

Alice looked at his expression and his unfamiliar eyes, and her heart trembled, “Henry, I never thought of betraying you. I was just worried about your safety. Enigma is no longer the Enigma of the past, it’s too easy for her to kill someone.”

Alice had never seen Edward Kirsten’s eyes like this before, and she felt that he no longer wanted her.

She was already struggling to breathe, and suddenly she became even more uncomfortable. It felt as if her throat was stuck with blood, so she struggled to breathe and tried hard to speak. So when she opened her mouth to speak, her voice was louder and more exhausting, “Henry, I really am worried about you, I never thought of betraying you. Enigma has been investigating 319, we are the source. Even if she doesn’t care about the past, she won’t let go of 319.”

Stella Edwards outside the courtyard, upon hearing the three digits “319”, suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and immediately hid behind the tree next to the Moon Gate.

The courtyard was not very large, and Edward Kirsten and Alice were still in the room. Stella Edwards was still two or three meters away from the Moon Gate.

But… perhaps the sound insulation of the room was not very good, or maybe it was because Alice’s voice was a bit loud, Stella Edwards heard Alice’s words very clearly.

She also heard some of Edward Kirsten’s words vaguely.

Although she only heard fragments, she could piece together the conversation with a little thought.

Alice’s words were too shocking for Stella, and she couldn’t digest them for a moment. She could only instinctively hide according to her body’s reaction.

In the room.

Looking at Alice’s tears, Edward Kirsten’s expression didn’t loosen at all, and even seemed a bit curious.

The person in front of her could actually cry too.

“Henry, I will never betray you, I will never.” Alice looked at him and said forcefully, “It’s just…just that I think Enigma is too dangerous. Henry, she has already influenced your judgment. I’m just worried about you.”

Edward Kirsten looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat.

Alice couldn’t breathe immediately. She raised her hand to grab his hand, but then put it down and let him choke her.

“Where did you hurt her?” Edward’s hand tightened slightly.

Alice’s lips trembled lightly, and her eyes closed and opened again, gradually rolling up.

She couldn’t say anything and just shook her head slightly.

Edward Kirsten choked her with his left hand, and a Spring Knife appeared in his right hand at some point.

He put the knife against Alice’s collarbone and moved it down inch by inch: “Alice, besides Harris, you are the only woman who grew up with me. You should know that my father chooses killers who are never women.”

Alice desperately tried to breathe in the fresh air, her body slowly convulsed.

“You are very clear that my father kept you in the beginning as a research subject. Because your heart was interesting.” Edward stopped the Spring Knife at the place of her left ventricle, “It’s not here, a very special case, my father was interested and that’s why he kept you.”

Edward said as he stabbed the Spring Knife in, blood sprayed out instantly, splashing onto his face.

“But keeping you is not for you to make decisions for me. Since there’s still a life left this time, I won’t drive you away.”

After finishing speaking, he let her go, stood up, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and slowly wiped the blood on his hands.

Alice lay on the ground with her eyes closed, showing no signs of life.

Just as Edward Kirsten was about to leave, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside: “Henry.”

Edward Kirsten directly opened the room door, and two people dressed as servants stood outside, one of them grabbing Stella Edwards’ arm.

Stella was struggling, but after seeing the blood on Edward’s face and collar, she was so scared that she forgot to struggle, and even her legs began to tremble and soften.

“What’s wrong?” Edward looked at Stella.

“Henry, she was sneaking around outside the courtyard, it seemed like she was eavesdropping.”

Edward looked at her: “Is it?”

Stella shook her head: “I, I didn’t. I didn’t.”

“If you didn’t, then what are you afraid of?” Edward took a step outside and said to the other person, “Take the one inside to the hospital.”

“Yes.”

Alice was carried out horizontally.

Stella glanced at the bloodstains on Alice’s body and trembled even more.

Edward got closer to her, grabbed her other arm, and then gestured for the other person to leave.

Stella couldn’t stand on her own, especially after Edward touched her.

She was now completely relying on Edward to support her.

“When did you come?” Edward’s voice was as gentle as usual.

But Stella was just scared: “Just, just now.”

“What did you hear? You’re so scared.” Edward laughed.

“I, I didn’t hear anything.”

“Chloe, lying is not good.” Edward’s other hand touched her neck and the blood got on her fair-skinned neck. His indifferent gaze deepened.

“I, I really just arrived.” Stella closed her eyes tightly, feeling the coldness of Edward’s fingertips, “I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t even enter the courtyard.”

Edward smiled gently: “Miss, lying can cost you your life.”
