章 121: A Cruel Step to Ascension[3]

"Alice, I never thought that you had such an ingenious side in you."

"It seems like you are really underestimating me. I grew up with an excellent blacksmith as my father, how could I not be creative enough to think of a plan like that?" Alice stared at Joseph in disdain.

Joseph didn't mind her attitude. He knew that Alice would always be like this whenever she was irritated. Furthermore, they were on a race against time and had no time to waste doing unnecessary things so, Joseph wasn't mad at her for being like this.

Instead, he handed over a handkerchief and said.

"Wipe yourself down with this." 

Alice compiled.

She took the handkerchief and wiped the blood running down her knees.

"What did you think about my plan?" Suddenly, she asked.
