บท 194: Capture the Heart: Part-6

When Jack engaged in combat with Aqualina to buy some time, his teammate, following Jack's meticulous orders, discreetly manoeuvred through the area.

He carefully placed an artifact in a location, ensuring it was hidden from sight. After completing this crucial task, the teammate returned to Jack, signalling that everything was set and ready.

Then, with a calculated move, Jack utilized his puppet to end Aqualina's life.

But why would he come here if he was planning to use the puppets in the end?

The answer was simple yet chilling: fear.

Yes, fear... but Not of Aqualina herself, but of someone far more formidable.... the person who had raised and trained her.

This person was none other than Empress Marisandra Naiadia.
