Even After Death by Lilting Champ

Chapter 396

Leia thought that Avery was here to question her departure, but he wasn’t. It didn’t take long before he let her go.

Avery and Olivia didn’t leave the place because they knew that Marina was in the castle. They settled down in a room Ryan had arranged for them.

After making sure that there were no hearing devices in the room, he asked, “What is it that you want to ask?”

“Have you known her for a long time?”

“Yeah. I saved her. But I kind of pitied her when I first met her. Most of her body was burned. Even half of her face was burned. That was why I wasn’t that certain that she was the person you were looking for.”

She was baffled. “No wonder her voice sounded kind of weird.’”

“Aside from the burns, she had a lot of wounds on her. When I met her, she was barely alive.

“She was just skin and bones. Not a single part of her skin was free from burns. She only woke up after resting for half a year, and even then, she barely looked like a person.”

He shook his head. “Not long after that, she left Peace’s Embrace with the mutineers. I hadn’t met her since then. Now that I think about it, I hadn’t met her that much at all.”

Olivia said carefully, “So, you’re…”

He said, “You might have guessed it, so I might as well be honest with you. I’m one of the founders of Peace’s Embrace. As I’ve told you, my initial intention was to help more people.

“But I didn’t expect things to turn out this way in the end. Although Toxic Hive was founded a long time ago, they didn’t dare to do things their way so obtrusively back then. They would still show me some respect.”

Only now did Olivia understand the whole story. She hadn’t expected the person she had saved by chance to be a powerful individual.

“Thank you, Mr. Avery. It’s getting late. You should get some rest. I’ll get out of your hair,” she
