Then, silence enveloped the room. Moments ago, Raegan was brimming with excitement, but now she seemed to vanish from existence.

As the smoke dissipated, Raegan was shoved forward, a cold gun barrel against the back of her head.

The figure holding the gun, drenched in blood and bearing a fearsome visage, was none other than Katie.

Katie's mouth was a gory sight, her lips blurred and grotesque, sending shivers down Raegan's spine.

"Drop the gun," Katie struggled to articulate. Though she managed to speak through her bloody mouth, every movement caused intense pain.

Despite the recent painkiller injection, the pain persisted and intensified with the slightest motion. It appeared her body was growing immune to the pain relief.

Raegan obediently released the gun, still reeling from the shock and fear of encountering Katie.

It was Raegan's first encounter with such horrifying disfigurement in a person. It wasn't a deformation of the spirit but a genuine physical repulsiveness. Not only was it hideous, but also profoundly frightening. This Lorenzo proved to be truly heartless.

However, considering Katie emerged drenched in blood, Lorenzo must have met his end at her hands. Reflecting on it, Katie appeared even more menacing than Lorenzo. And Katie's current predicament was simply the consequence of a ruthless struggle for survival.

Concerned for Raegan's safety, Mitchel spoke firmly. "Katie, you can still lower the weapon."

Katie emitted her distinctive chilling laugh. "What's the use, Mitchel? Can it restore my face?"

She blinked and made an exaggerated expression, questioning him, “Why won't you look at me? Is it because you find me repulsive? Or should I disfigure your beloved? So she looks just like me? Ha-ha..."

Delighted with her notion, Katie clapped her hands and chuckled anew.

Mitchel's countenance darkened. "Katie, Lorenzo caused your wounds, not Raegan. Release her now!"

"Release her? What fantasy world do you inhabit?"

Mitchel responded with a resolute expression, "This is Ambrosia, a realm governed by laws. Commit harm, face imprisonment."

Initially anxious, Raegan began to harbor doubt upon hearing Mitchel's words. It appeared Mitchel aimed to elicit something from Katie.

Observing his demeanor, Raegan felt more composed and compliantly stayed quiet.

Yet, Katie showed no intention of yielding, gripping Raegan's scalp tighter and pulling forcefully.

"Ah..." Raegan cried out in pain, playing her part.
