Chapitre 268: A Trade

While Bowzer remained at Eliza's side, Trank backed away toward the incoming Jack.

"You seem to be quite attached to that one. Show me your rage," Trank mocked Jack while licking his lips, savoring the reactions he was receiving.

In a fit of anger, Jack's charge was coming at full power. However, that left him wide open to a counterattack from the nimble Trank. Jack's fist glanced the man's side in return for Trank's slash across Jack's back.

"Not bad for losing control. But you'll need to be smarter than that if you want any hope of saving yourselves."

As the two party leaders faced each other in the growing heat of battle, faint red light started to envelop Eliza's fallen body. Bowzer defended her as Trank's men were in shock of the sight. The red glow soon amassed into an ethereal lily at her bosom and sank into Eliza's chest. Once it was fully absorbed into her corpse, the energy dispersed rapidly and the hole in Eliza's neck resealed itself.
