Venustus, who was still hiding in Jinrich, noticed Harold when Quintus saved him from The Poisonous Forest. She quickly got to high ground and set up her sniper rifle.

Once he gets out of that chopper, I'll shoot his head. To her surprise, Harold didn't disembark after he left the forest. Instead, he told the pilot to take him to Dellmoor once Evelyn and Quintus got off the chopper.

Venustus panicked a little. If she missed this chance, it would be hard to assassinate Harold. The moment the helicopter rose, she had the idea to eradicate the chopper.

Once she readjusted her position, the helicopter Harold was in was already flying over Myenath River. In just a few moments, the chopper would be out of her effective range. Venustus aimed for the gas tank and pulled the trigger.

Harold felt imminent danger coming for him. “Everyone, abandon ship!” he shouted and leaped off the helicopter.


He was a split second too late. The moment he jumped off the helicopter, the tank blew up, and a great heat wave slammed into his back. He could feel the shards of the chopper piercing his flesh.

The explosion's impact knocked Harold out, and he fell into the river. Even boats found it impossible to cross the rapids.

The pilot had a worse fate. Despite Harold's warning, he couldn't do anything, and the chopper exploded. He was blown to bits and fell into Myenath River with the chopper.

Quintus was hooking Evelyn up to an IV infusion when he heard the explosion. Everyone rushed out of the building and saw the burning remains of the helicopter fall into the river.

“We're done for.” Quintus felt all the strength leave him, and he plopped to the ground.

“That must have been Venustus. She's the only one who can do that. She's the only one who could shoot Mr. Campbell's chopper down, Mr. Langdon.”

Quintus' men were stupefied by what they saw, and some of the sharper ones deduced that Venustus was behind this.
