[Anton's P.O.V]
"That's good." As long as she was still alive, there was still a chance. Everything could still be salvaged.
When I saw Ellie barely breathing in my arms, I was genuinely afraid that she would die at that moment. If she were gone too, I would lose another loved one.
Seeing that Ellie was out of immediate danger, I went to meet Odin and Freya. I told them, "Now that those people are all under control, if we can't find the mastermind's body in three days, I will have my men evacuate everyone from this dense forest. By then, you and your people won't have to live in this cramped space anymore."
Three days. That was the timeframe I gave Ollie to find Panse's body. But I knew, in a deep abyss, once one went down, there was no finding a body, just shattered bones. But Panse mentioned a long-term plan, making me calm down. Perhaps he had already planned an escape route, and beneath the deep cliff, there were people or things assisting him.
