Chapter 313: Planning Her Revenge

After 10 days of living in this cave, Ryan had continuously absorbed the energy of his mysterious power. Now he had managed to absorb 1/10 of the total. However, no matter how many fish he ate or how deep he dived, this energy absorption stopped at 1/10. Ryan could only give up to absorb all the strength.

But thanks to this 1/10, Ryan's strength was incomparable to the old one. Moreover, if he succeeded in absorbing all these mysterious powers in the future then he would clearly become number 1 in the world.

"Ivy, it's time. Prepare to leave this place," Ryan said with a smile.

Hearing Ryan's words, Ivanka's eyes lit up. Finally she could leave this place.

...… ..

At the same time in Batavia, at the Kruger family residence...

Renault's face was gloomy as he stared at the door in front of him. It seemed that he didn't have the courage to push it open.

At this moment, his heart was not only filled with doubts, but also a feeling of helplessness.

"Father, come in if you want." At this time, a voice sounded from inside the door. Although the voice sounded calm, it contained a cold tone.

Renault opened the door and looked at Irina, who was sitting still. There was a very luxurious wedding dress on the table.

Renault was silent for a few moments. Even though he wanted this one child to marry into the Kruger family, this was not what he wanted. However, even if this method tarnished his name, it was enough to assuage the anger of Krugers. He inevitably had to accept this decision. In other words, he had no room to refuse.

A few days ago, the Krugers brought Irina back to Batavia. Irina was then detained at their main house so that she could not escape again. Renault knew about this incident of course, but what made him pale were Nicholas' words. The Kruger family sent a message that even though Gerard had died, Irina would still have to marry him.

This meant Irina would perform a Ghost Marriage, where she would be betrothed to the spirit of the deceased in order to maintain the family's lineage.

The news of this marriage spread all over the country, the Kruger family really didn't tolerate Irina.

However, the Lacroix family really had no other choice. Renault had come to Nicholas' residence to discuss this but Nicholas responded with a declaration of war. 

"If your family dares to avoid it once again then don't expect us to live in peace!"

In the instant, Renault's cold sweat poured down, he could only be silent. If war really broke out between their two families, then the Lacroix family was destined to fall.

Now, Renault was standing in front of Irina and didn't know what to say to this daughter. Even though he would force Irina to fulfill their wedding vows, Renault didn't expect the Kruger family to perform Ghost Marriage. This also severed the relationship between the two families.

After a moment's silence, Renault said to Irina, "Take a rest, tomorrow is your wedding day. Don't mess it up,"

"I understand," Irina was still as cold as before and her expression didn't change at all. However, her gaze was blank and dead.

Renault took a deep breath and closed the door. Not long after, Nicholas came in and looked at the 'dead' Irina and gave a cold snort. "You will marry my son whom you killed tomorrow. With this, you will always be the property of the Kruger family,"

Irina didn't reply to him.

Nicholas looked at her and said in a cold tone. "If it weren't for you, that guy would still be alive. An eye for an eye and a life for a life, that person is destined to die for his courage to fight my family!"

Hearing those words, Irina trembled wildly. But that still didn't make her speak.

Seeing that the girl didn't want to speak at all, Nicholas spat on the floor and left the room.

This marriage tarnished the Lacroix and tied Irina to the Kruger family. Even if she decided to abandon her initial surname, Irina couldn't get rid of the fact that she was a descendant of the Lacroix family.

It was a pity that Renault didn't dare to fight harder, he allowed himself to be trampled like that.

As Nicholas walked outside, the two guards in charge of watching Irina began talking.

"Feel your suffering, it's your own fault to dare to fight our family!"

"But isn't it really a shame? The woman is really beautiful," the guard said while licking his lips.

"Never think of anything weird. You dare to go against our master's orders? He will skin you alive! Be patient, we will go to the red light district together after we finish this work,"

"Really?"

That one perverted guard couldn't wait to vent his lust that had accumulated.

Irina still didn't let out a sound, she just stood and stared at the mirror.

She looked at her own reflection, the face of a beautiful woman once proclaimed to have made men from all over Crimea willing to go to the city of Avalerion, and try to win her heart.

But now that beautiful face looked gloomy, helpless, almost the same as a dead person.

Seeing her pale face, Irina shed tears. Her tears symbolized the frustration and regret she had been harboring for all this time.

"Ryan…. Ivanka… "Irina's crying was getting worse. "Why didn't you let me die at that time?"

When she thought of those two people, Irina's heart really hurt. Ryan was the only person she loved in this world and Ivanka was her most precious sister. Both of them were like her own family, a family even closer than the family that raised her in the past.

Her tears soaked her clothes and ruined her makeup.

Her mind never ceased to imagine that Ryan would come and save her from this cage. But unfortunately, her hopes wouldn't come true this time.

"No matter how many times I am reborn, I will always be your wife..." Irina repeated the words she said to Ryan when the man saved her from Golge.

From the moment Ryan freed her from the clutch of the Kruger family, she had made up her mind. Since then, Irina promised to go through everything with Ryan. It didn't matter if Ryan took her to the ends of the earth or dragged her to hell, her love would never die.

But now that Ryan was gone, what was the point in her still breathing?

A future without Ryan was like walking on the moon alone.

Irina was crying uncontrollably but she could not hide the anger in her heart. Before she died, she vowed to kill Nicholas to get revenge on Ryan and Ivanka.

She planned to kill Nicholas before committing suicide.

Irina stared at the knife she was hiding. Tomorrow she would kill Nicholas with her own two hands.

The woman then smiled and said to her heart. "You don't have to worry, we will be together again tomorrow."

Irina then hid the knife back and wiped her tears.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Ryan and Ivanka had finished preparing everything that was needed.

"Bro, are you sure? I'm not going to fall right?" Ivanka said in a worried tone.

"Don't worry, close your eyes and we'll be out of here in a moment," Ryan said with a smile.

When Ryan intended to take a diamond, he was surprised to see a worn rope beside the skull in the cave. Even though it was worn, the rope was still strong enough.

After their preparations were complete, Ryan made Ivanka stand in front of him and tied their hips together with the rope.

Feeling the muscles in front of her, Ivanka blushed in embarrassment. Since they were so tightly bound, she couldn't help but let her breasts squeezed against her brother-in-law's hardened chest.

However, Ivanka didn't mind this as they were in a difficult situation.

The two of them stood at the entrance to the cave, above them was a mountain cliff that they had to conquer. Now that he had gained more strength from his training, Ryan was ready to take Ivanka out of this mountain.

The man took a deep breath then looked at Ivanka and said with a smiling face. "Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Ivanka then hugged Ryan's waist with both hands. At this time, Ryan's internal power was working and spreading throughout his body. But his inner power concentrated on his hands.

In his right hand, the knife he had previously obtained was also filled with energy from within. One snap and the knife perfectly stabbed into the cliff.

After making sure the grip was firm, Ryan started climbing. His feet started to leave the ground and his left hand, which formed like a claw, also started to jab into the cliff.

Ryan returned to climb this mountain but in a different way. However, it got even more challenging with Ivanka hanging in front of him with her eyes closed.
