"What the hell are you doing here? And how did you get here? Were you hiding in the church from the day we met?" Finn, after locking the door, looked at Myne with a serious expression and began inquiring while walking toward the bookshelf in her bedroom. She pulled a red-covered book titled "Natural Way to Make Skin Shine." As she pulled the book halfway out and pushed it back, with a clicking sound, the bookshelf slid forward a few centimetres.

    Just as Myne thought she would open it and show him her secret room, she stopped, turned around, and stared at him with a frown.

    "What?" Myne couldn''t help but ask, seeing that she had no intention of speaking or looking away.

    "Why aren''t you answering my question? Do you think this is a joke? You better not test my patience, otherwise I don''t mind sending you to the west," Finn suddenly had a deadly cold expression, and a red aura enveloped her body. Her blonde hair began floating upward without any air. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

    Seeing that the other party was too serious, Myne hurriedly moved forward while laughing and put his arm around her shoulder, trying his best to behave like they were old friends.

    "Come on, Finn, you mustn''t be so serious. We''re not enemies. I just got distracted by your skilled moves. You know, it''s not every day we get to see our crush''s secret room, right?" He said, giving her a knowing wink, making her roll her eyes in annoyance.

    "I''ve already told you, I''m married and have no interest in a brat like you. Why are you still dreaming about me? Can''t you find someone your own age?" She pushed his arm away from her shoulder and pulled the edge of the bookshelf, revealing a one-and-a-half-meter-tall metal door behind it.

    "And where am I going to find young girls like you mentioned? In the stomachs of those monsters outside? Also, let me be clear, I have no interest in your stupid crying daughter. She''s too much trouble to handle for the rest of my life."

    "As for why I''m here, of course, it''s to find a way out of this disaster. As long as I''m not brain-dead, I naturally didn''t want to die. With my current strength, escaping the memory loss is definitely no problem, but surviving for three days is impossible, so, of course, I have to look for a powerful, beautiful, and kind-hearted backer."

    Myne didn''t hold back when it came to flattering beauty like Finn. He shamelessly followed Finn into her secret room, which looked like a storage room with boxes piled up like hills everywhere. She didn''t reply to Myne''s nonsense and quickly began searching through the boxes. When she found something useful, she put the entire box into her storage ring.

    Myne didn''t want to be misunderstood, so he stood at the door while continuing to talk, despite her ignoring him. This process continued until Finn put half of the boxes into her storage ring, came in front of Myne, stared into his eyes, and suddenly grabbed both his cheeks.

    "If you don''t want to get beaten, just be quiet and follow me. No more words until we''re safe, got it?"

    Myne nodded hurriedly like an obedient child, only then did Finn release his face and walk away in a hurry. Myne quickly caught up with her.

    After coming out of the secret room, she opened the wardrobe, and put away all her clothes. Then she walked to her queen-sized bed and put it away as well, before hurriedly walking out of the bedroom and into her daughter''s room. Myne, who wanted to see what she was up to, didn''t say anything and simply followed her.

    Myne, who was listening to the husband and wife''s conversation, suddenly had an understanding look on his face. He finally understood why the attack on those people''s side was so fierce. It turned out that because of their oversmartness, their trial difficulty had increased to an impossible level.

    "Then what about us? When are we able to go to that place?" Finn didn''t care about Jekal''s burning anger. Right now, she only cared about her and her daughter''s lives.

    However, to her surprise, Jekal didn''t reply. Instead, he stared at her coldly with an expressionless face, but disdain and a bit of disgust were clearly visible in the depths of his eyes.

    "Soon..." This was the only word he said before walking to other people who were maintaining the magic array, but secretly eavesdropping on their conversation with full of interest.

    Finn, whose face turned ugly as if she found her husband f*kcing her housemaid right on top of their bed, gave Jekal an angry glare while gritting her teeth, looked at Myne and Rosalind, and walked toward the stairs in a hurry.

    Both of them didn''t dare to stay with a bunch of creepy-looking old men who clearly weren''t good people without Finn''s protection, so they quickly followed her, while trying their best so no one noticed their presence.

    "Rosy, quickly pick up your belongings. We''re escaping," Finn said coldly after they returned to the fourth floor.

    "But... Mother, what about Father?" Although Rosalind knew that this question could earn her a good beating, her love for her father, who never stopped her from doing anything, still overcame her fear, and she couldn''t help but ask. Clearly, unlike Finn, she didn''t understand the hidden meaning behind her father''s last word.

    "Haven''t you heard enough? There''s no place for us in his backup plan. He''s abandoned us, so instead of wasting time on fantasies that he''ll come to save you, you better follow me and hope that we somehow survive the next few days and get the hell out of this goddamned place," Finn, although burning with hatred inside, still maintained her cool before her daughter and an unwanted outsider, and replied in a heavy voice.

    "How can this be..."

    "Stop talking nonsense and move your ass. We don''t have time!" Finn interrupted her daughter''s childish nonsense and kicked her into her room.

    "Ahm... Finn?" Myne, seeing that Finn had closed her eyes and was breathing heavily to calm herself, and surely didn''t want to be disturbed, hesitated for a few seconds and, in the end, couldn''t help but reluctantly break the silence.

    "What!" Finn gave Myne a look as if she wanted to eat him alive, and asked irritedly.

    "Well... I know a good place to hide. Although there are some monsters as well, compared to here, you can deal with them with a wave of your hand. And there are also some people to attract firepower, so you don''t have to worry much. As long as you hide well and don''t seek death by coming in front of them, you absolutely won''t have any problem finishing this trial mission."
