"Barth treated you with utmost kindness, why did you kill him?"
Lilah asked through gritted teeth.Arya suddenly froze."Kindness?
He was kind to me?
Have you ever thought about what I sacrificed for him? Because of him, I ended up like this, yet he despised me for being unclean, for not being pure, for being too cunning. Men are truly ridiculous. You sacrifice everything, yet they still find fault with you.Truly pathetic!"
Arya, dressed in black, her face ghostly pale, looked so frail as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Lilah noticed something peculiar, a bad suspicion forming in her mind.
"And you, all of you, are pathetic!"
Arya suddenly burst into hysterical laughter, pointing at Gerard and Miranda, her gaze then sweeping over Jeffery's sharp, thin face.
"Do you all know what I was doing when he fell?" Arya seemed truly deranged as she removed her sunglasses, revealing eyes red with fury and tears.
"I watched as he slowly slid down the wall, blood spreading beneath him. Even then, he was still saying to me, ‘Arya, turn back before it's too late.' Hahaha, that idiot told me to turn back. It's ridiculous, utterly laughable!"
Arya gritted her teeth, staring into the distance, tears of agony streaming from her eyes.
Her gaze was filled with profound pain.
"So, you deserve to die, " Lilah sneered, feeling that Arya was even more despicable than Karol.
Arya laughed through her tears, fixing her eyes on Lilah, her voice hoarse and strained, "Yes, I deserve to die, and I will. I'll go to the afterlife and tell him I've turned back. But before that, I'm taking all of you with me!"
With that, she aimed a black gun barrel at Gerard.
Lilah was startled, instinctively lunging forward and tumbling down the steps with Arya.
Despite the intense pain, Lilah remained vigilant, seizing Arya's gun before she could react.
However, Arya then revealed a terrifying smile. Her lip was split, blood spreading as she tore open her clothes to expose a row of bombs counting down.
Lilah's scalp tingled, instinctively wanting to flee. This lunatic intended to drag everyone down with her.
"Get away, there's a bomb!" she screamed.
But the next second, Arya went berserk, tackling her and holding on tightly.
By then, Gerard and the others had rushed down.
Lilah, terrified, roared at Gerard, "Go, get out of here!"
In that moment of distraction, Arya tightened her grip around Lilah's neck, nearly choking her.
