Chapter 631
[Today I beat two people. Got stronger! So happy_-]
[It’s been so long since I’ve had any proper meat. Today, Madelyn brought me so much! She said if I ever wanted more. she’d go snatch it for me. Madelyn is the best.]
[Today I made a new friend named White. The three of us shared roast chicken. From now on, I won’t be lonely anymore.]
[Marcus came to see me today. He said if I don’t kill Madelyn, he’ll make my life a living hell. But I’d never hurt her. I want to make it through this with Madelyn.]
[Today, I overheard Marcus talking with one of the elders. They said I was sent here by the Wolfshade Syndicate and must never leave the Solemnity Guild alive-they need to eliminate me quickly. If Madelyn tries to stop them, they’ll kill her too. Should I tell Madelyn?]
[Today, a wooden plank almost hit me-it was no accident. Madelyn saved me. I still haven’t told her the truth. Being with me brings bad luck.]
[It’s Madelyn’s turn for the supply run. I know Marcus has set a trap for her. I pleaded with her for hours until she finally let me come along. I desperately want to live, but I know I won’t make it. All I hope is that Madelyn survives.]
The diary ended here. Russell gently closed the notebook, cradling it against his chest.
He thought, ‘I was such a fool-treating my enemy as family, failing to protect Sara, and in the end, even mistaking my real foe.’
Then his phone buzzed. Russell picked it up, and his eyes were burning with chilling, murderous hatred.
He said, “Olivia, what’s wrong?”
Olivia said, “Russell, when are you coming back? I miss you.”
Russell said, “It might take a while. I still haven’t found Owen.”
Olivia said, “Russell, can I come to you? Let’s take Owen down together.”
Russell’s expression was ice-cold, yet his voice was deceptively gentle as he said, “Olivia, your face still needs treatment.”
Olivia said, “I can bring a doctor along. It’s settled then-I’m coming to you right now!”
Olivia hung up. Russell stared at his phone with a cold sneer. He was just figuring out how to lure Olivia out, and she walked right into his trap.
He thought, ‘Damon and Marcus are dead and only Olivia, Curtis, and Tyree remain. I’ll end them myself, even if it costs me my life.
That afternoon, Flynt came to the lab looking for Ethan, bringing Luna along with him. “From now on, you’ll be Aria’s assistant. Do whatever she says.”
After she stayed just a few days here, Luna’s defiance had all but melted away.
She had braced herself for beatings and insults, but instead, all she got was suffocating silence. She lost count of how many people she tried to talk to-not a single soul acknowledged her.

The psychological torment had pushed Luna to the brink of collapse, so when she received the order to become Aria’s assistant, she nearly wept with relief.
Luna said, “Got it.” She stood beside Aria with tears in her eyes, inadvertently blocking Flynt’s sight.
Feeling annoyed, Flynt frowned. But then Ethan finished up his work and walked over. “Let’s go.”
Flynt said, “Okay.” The two left.
Luna leaned in and whispered, “Finally, someone to talk to! These people are terrifying-no one says a word for days. If I had to stay here any longer, I’d lose my mind.”
Laura said coldly. “Absolute silence is required in the lab at all times, Aria. Keep your new assistant in line.”
Laura seemed like someone not to be trifled with, so Luna immediately clamped her mouth shut.
Aria replied casually, “Is there such a rule? You and Ethan were having quite a lively discussion this morning, weren’t you?”
Laura said, “That was a scientific discussion, not idle chatter.”
Aria retorted, “And how do you know what we’re saying is just ‘idle chatter”?”
Aria’s sharp retort left Laura momentarily speechless. As the senior researcher second only to Ethan, she wasn’t accustomed to being challenged like this.
Aria pressed on, “You’re researching things that hurt people-you’ll burn in hell for that. So, what exactly are you so proud
- Laura?”
“That’s nonsense.” Laura glared. “Our gene editing can free humanity from suffering and disease—even Mr. Hartley himself volunteered as a test subject.”
