Roseweisse, Irene Is the Mole!
Suddenly, Aili felt that her sister seemed to be in an even worse situation than herself.
After all, she was about to die, ending her sorrowful life, while her sister had to continue to please this man like a doll.
Her eyes were empty. After learning the truth, the last bit of struggle in Aili's soul vanished completely. Now, Aili was just a piece of flesh that could still breathe.
"Kill me."
"Kill you?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow.
He let out a sigh of relief and stretched, "I'm a good person, you know."
"I wouldn't kill someone randomly for no reason; that would damage my image."
If it were someone like Karthus and Benson, Qin Chu might have found it somewhat interesting, but a girl lying on the ground unable to move was really not very interesting.
"However, Aili, you should know that this place is actually on the edge of an area where Magic Creature roam... so, Magic Creature appear from time to time." Qin Chu's expression was somewhat strange.
Aili's previously empty eyes suddenly lit up with a light—fear.
Qin Chu was right. This was an area where Magic Creature frequently appeared. It was just that we had previously relied on our strength and thought that even if there were Magic Creature, they were just low-level creatures and we didn't take them seriously.
But for someone who has now lost all his power, even a low-level Goblin is definitely not something he can handle.
If they fall into the hands of these Magic Creature, they will probably suffer a fate worse than death.
Qin Chu glanced at the mountains and forests behind him, a malicious smile on his face, "It seems some Magic Creature have already noticed the commotion here."
He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the frightened Aili: "Well then, beautiful Miss Aili, please rest well, and I wish you a speedy recovery. Goodbye."
After offering a blessing, Qin Chu left with Heloise, Antasia, and the others.
"Wait, save me! Don't leave me here! Please, no, save me!" Aili struggled desperately on the ground, screaming loudly as she watched Qin Chu and the others leave.
No, she didn't want to be stranded here alone.
Don't fall into the hands of those Magic Creature.
Unfortunately, those people didn't care about Aili's screams at all.
As Qin Chu and the others walked further and further away, the fear in Aili's heart grew stronger. Suddenly, Aili heard a rustling sound coming from the forest.
Her body shuddered slightly, and she turned her head sharply towards the direction of the mountains and forests.
Under the midday sun, some short, green-skinned creatures emerged from the woods, carrying simple wooden sticks.
It's Goblin!
This is a very weak Magic Creature.
Aili would never have paid any attention to such weak creatures before, but now these tiny figures were sending chills down Aili spine.
She would rather have encountered Ogre or Corpse Ghoul — Magic Creature that prey on humans.
So this is how Qin Chu... no, this is the way my sister planned her own death?
No... no... no...
Knowing Goblin well, Aili knew that falling into Goblin hands would be worse than death. She didn't want that. Her mind raced, searching, and finally, a blinding light shone into her eyes.
That was the dagger she had dropped on the ground earlier.
She struggled to move her body on the ground, like a pathetic maggot wriggling on parched earth, until finally she managed to move herself next to the dagger.
A silly smile crept across her disheveled face.
Haha, that's great, all the problems are solved now.
All you have to do is grab the dagger and slit your own throat. It's that simple.
Qin Chu did nothing.
Really, he just felt sorry for Aili and kindly told Aili the whole truth.
Because he was so kind and compassionate, even though Aili was his enemy and had a deep-seated hatred for Qin Chu couldn't bear to kill Aili and instead spared Aili life.
Qin Chu was almost moved by his own kindness and magnanimity.
He had already given Aili a way out, so what more did he want from her? What Aili would become later was none of his Mana.
However, Aili's physical condition wouldn't allow her to live much longer. Even without being tortured, she would pass away in another hour and a half.
It wasn't Qin Chu who caused Aili to end up in this situation, but her own sister, Eileen.
Come to think of it, that girl is really cruel.
Did he foresee that Aili would end up like this by cutting off his sister's fingers? If so, that's truly terrifying.
Qin Chu was accompanied by Athena, Heloise, and Antasia.
Ileta remained nearby, waiting to confirm Aili's death and collect Aili soul. Qin Chu even suspected that Ileta might not be able to bear watching and would eliminate Aili prematurely.
"Athena, when you get back, just do this..." Qin Chu whispered in Athena's ear.
His warm breath made Athena's cheeks flush slightly.
Ever since Qin Chu saved her from the darkness of death, Athena felt Qin Chu's image becoming clearer and clearer in her mind, and even the slightest contact would make Athena feel strange.
She kept Qin Chu's instructions in mind.
She knew that although Qin Chu didn't immediately make a move against Eileen, he would definitely not let that woman go.
Meanwhile, Eileen continued running wildly down the road.
After absorbing her sister's power, her strength became unprecedented.
She felt as light as a feather, like a bird that could soar into the air with a light touch of its toes on the ground.
The speed was much faster than before, and all that could be heard was the howling of the wind. The sharp wind felt like knives slapping against her face, giving Eileen a feeling of exhilarating pleasure.
My dear sister, I will make good use of the power you have given me.
With this extraordinary power, Eileen returned to the imperial Imperial City in less than half the time she had previously taken.
Upon arriving at the Imperial City, Eileen adjusted her aura, controlling her strength to a level similar to before. Her unprecedentedly powerful strength was Eileen's secret and trump card, which would produce unexpected results at crucial moments.
Suddenly, Eileen frowned slightly, and her small, fair hands touched her forehead, feeling warm.
My throat feels a little itchy...
Eileen couldn't help but cough softly.
Am I sick?
For a moment, Eileen felt a little strange. After all, for a master of her level, being sick was something hard to imagine. How many years had it been since she had experienced illness?
However, Eileen didn't take her physical reaction to heart.
Fever and cough are just minor illnesses; they will heal in no time.
The most important thing now is to inform Rosweisse of what happened at the Snowlink Mountains... Although she disliked this pretentious woman, Eileen understood that she couldn't kill her yet.
She is very important.
As a saintess of the Holy Church, Rosweisse possesses resources that ordinary people do not have, enabling her to obtain a large amount of important intelligence.
For example, only Rosweisse knows where the fragments of Jello's Soul Fragment are scattered. If I were to investigate, I don't know how long it would take.
There's no need to keep Ekaterina around, although as a mole within the Second-Generation Hero's inner circle, she could play a crucial role in the future assassination of Qin Chu...
But now, his strength is formidable enough that he can kill Qin Chu single-handedly, and he doesn't need Ekaterina, the traitor, at all.
That Sylph must be dealt with; proud elves are disgusting.
For now, it's enough to leave only Rosweisse alive. Once Rosweisse's value has been completely exploited, her death will be imminent.
It has to be said, Aili and Eileen truly are sisters.
They both have a very strong possessive streak and their thoughts are highly similar.
Neither of them wanted any other girl to be around Jello, even if that girl was their older or younger sister.
All Jello needs is me.
Taking a deep breath, Eileen adjusted the expression on her face, which gradually turned into one of sorrow and pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she walked towards the direction of the Holy Church.
As a member of the Hero's Party, Eileen easily entered the Holy See and went straight to the Saintess's boudoir. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Rosweisse inside investigating some information. Suppressing the urge to snap Rosweisse's neck, Eileen threw herself into Rosweisse's arms and burst into tears.
Its small body seemed to be convulsing from extreme grief.
What does it mean to cry buckets of tears? In just a few seconds, Rosweisse's chest was soaked with tears, clinging uncomfortably to her skin.
Just as Rosweisse was about to speak, she saw Eileen's expression and her heart skipped a beat; a bad premonition was rapidly growing within her.
How infuriating!
Why do the former members of the Hero's Party always run into problems during their meticulously planned, almost foolproof operations?
What exactly went wrong?
Unseen forces were interfering with his plans.
Who exactly is it?

Chapter 307 Rosweisse, Eileen is the mole! (2)
The sound of Eileen crying in her arms made Rosweisse extremely irritated, and her bad premonition grew stronger and stronger.
Especially seeing that only Eileen had returned... and seeing that Eileen seemed destined to continue crying, Rosweisse could no longer hold back. She forcefully grabbed Eileen's thin shoulders and pulled Eileen away from her embrace. "Eileen, tell me, what happened?"
Where is Aili?
Where is Athena?
"Where is the Muse?"
Why are you the only one who came back?
Rosweisse felt her voice trembling. She feared things might turn out the worst possible way. She didn't want to think about it, but the images kept flashing through her mind.
"Dead... all dead."
Buzz...
Eileen's voice sent chills down Rosweisse's spine.
Her body swayed violently, and she almost fell over.
Her mind went completely blank, and the world spun before her eyes. Rosweisse could no longer hold back; she staggered backward, plopping down in a chair, her mouth agape but unable to utter a sound, even her breathing stopped...
After a very long time, Rosweisse finally let out a whoosh, and her chest began to heave rapidly.
At this moment, the saintess felt her hands and feet were ice-cold.
She didn't even have time to maintain the etiquette of a saintess; the news Eileen brought back shocked Rosweisse beyond her capacity.
God, the last time I went to Ramon's territory, the news of Ronald's death dealt a huge blow to Rosweisse.
Now I'm being told that Athena, Muse, and Aili are all dead... Why is this happening?
Why did so many people die when there aren't that many powerful Magic Creature in the Snowlink Mountains?
Rosweisse didn't understand. All she knew was that if all three of them died, the entire former Hero's Party would be left with only herself, Eileen, Sylph, Ekaterina.
The hope of reviving Jello is becoming increasingly slim.
Goddess of Holy Light, why can't you favor me just once?
"What happened? Tell me what happened!" Rosweisse couldn't hold back her tears. She wasn't grieving for the deaths of her former comrades; she was grieving for the fact that so many people had died and the future of resurrecting Jello was becoming increasingly bleak.
She wanted to know what had happened over there.
Could it be that it was that bastard Augustus was behind it all?
Eileen bit her lip lightly, seemingly struggling to control the grief welling up in her chest, and said between soft sobs, "It's... it's Athena..."
"Athena betrayed us."
What?
The unexpected answer made Rosweisse suddenly raise her head, her face full of shock.
