Chapter 1483 The Candy That Tasted of Blood
Selena was left hanging there until dawn.
No one came to see her during the night. Apart from the corpse lying in front of her, she was alone in the room.
When the sunlight finally streamed in, the door creaked open.
Someone walked in, cut the ropes binding her with a dagger, and spoke in a cold tone, "This is the note that guy left for you. We already burned him."
With that, he left without another word.
Selena stood there, speechless, her mind blank.
After a few seconds, she chased after the man, trying to catch up.
"Didn't you already get the seal?"
"Blame it on him for talking too much."
The man got into a nearby car. Not far away was a pile of ashes, still warm, with bones mixed in.
Selena's body was already on the verge of collapse. Seeing this, she felt her vision darken.
She wanted to faint but knew she couldn't afford to.
Now that they had released her, she had to leave immediately.
She had to get out of here!
She kicked the still-burning ashes aside and picked up a few pieces of bone.
She couldn't tell if the remaining pieces were human bones or something else.
Her hands were blackened from picking up the bones, and the ashes were still hot, with some areas still burning.
Selena spent about ten minutes gathering what she believed were Emilio's bones, then tore a piece of fabric from her clothes to wrap them up.
She didn't have deep feelings for Emilio.
But when she first opened her eyes in Mystic Prison, Emilio was the first person she saw. He often acted strangely, but Selena always found excuses for him.
In a place like this, being a bit odd was understandable.
Perhaps it was her pregnancy that made her more emotional. She believed she could take Emilio away from this place, resolve the issue with his tattoo, and help him become whole.
But in reality, she had achieved nothing.
She had brought him to the island without permission, leading to his death, and couldn't even retrieve a complete set of bones.
She didn't know what to say, just numbly carrying the bones, staggering away.
She had endured hours of punishment, her body on the brink of collapse.
Now she was moving forward purely on instinct.
She had to leave this place.
As soon as she left, Emilio emerged from a nearby corner, looking at the ashes Selena had sifted through.
Smoke was still rising from the ashes. She had used her bare hands; were her fingers blistered from the heat?
A wave of irritation surged within him, and he took a few quick steps, kicking the ashes furiously.
The irritation burned within him like a raging fire, leaving him completely parched inside.
He recalled the moment she had given him that piece of candy.
He had never tasted candy before. The one he had as a child tasted of blood, bitter.
Maybe the candy Selena gave him was sweet, but he had given it to Mario.
Perhaps he shouldn't have given it away.
Emilio didn't know what he was thinking. He kicked the ashes until they were scattered, then stopped, panting.
The group of people standing behind him didn't dare say anything, just lowered their heads in fear.
After venting his frustration, Emilio touched the jellyfish seal in his pocket.
"Where are K's people?"
"Mr. Blair, they're spread across middle island and the inner island. Previously, Raymond was captured by the Soto family. K’s probably after Raymond, which led to a clash with the Soto family on the inner island. During the conflict, Raymond disappeared. Eldon took the Soto family's token and fled. Now Eldon has been captured, and Yosef has arrived on the island. K's people are likely concentrated on middle island."
Emilio still felt irritated. He had many things to do.
He had obtained the jellyfish seal and needed to return to the organization immediately to avoid conflict with K's people.
He stood frozen, his mind in turmoil, until someone spoke up, "Mr. Blair, K's people have captured Mr. Dickson."
Among the ten leaders of the BK organization, most had already accepted K as the leader.
Only Donny Dickson and Efrain Hubbard still wanted to find the missing Barbara and occasionally caused trouble for K.
Now that Donny had been captured, it meant K had finally decided to eliminate him.
Emilio disliked K's hypocrisy, his brow furrowing. "Let's go back."
He spent most of his time in Mystic Prison, rarely involved in the organization's affairs, and had no direct conflict with K. But their relationship was not good. He hadn't stopped K from taking over BK's power, but he didn't acknowledge him either.
Now that he had the jellyfish seal, he needed to return to the organization immediately.
However, K probably knew he had the seal. As soon as he left Mystic Prison, there would be an open battle between them.
