Looking at the dead alter ego of the Ghost King, Li Chen turned and walked out.
Upon arriving in the hall, by this time, others had also fought their way in, and Alice had been released. The reason Alice didn't let Li Chen go inside was that inside the prison, a good number of hidden weapons had been installed by the Ghost King.
"Master, I thought I'd never see you again." Alice looked at Li Chen, tears streaming down her face, her bosom heaving tumultuously, as if she was about to throw herself at him.
The others offered words of comfort, and just as Li Chen was about to speak, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a figure flashing through the darkness.
In almost an instant, Li Chen looked up to see the figure fleeing into the distance amidst the shadows, his expression immediately turning grave.
It was Shadow!
She must have been in this hall the whole time, probably waiting for the right moment to strike from the darkness.
"Take good care of Alice."
