Chapter 400: ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ Suddenly, a memory surfaced in Kellan's mind — a gentle voice, a familiar warmth. "Kellan, should I wear this necklace to your birthday?" The graceful image of his mother returned to him, her smile as radiant as ever, stirring a deep ache within him.

His throat constricted as he reached out to touch the cool surface of the necklace.

"This really was my mother's," he whispered, the feel of the gem bringing back years of memories.

This was why he had joined the competition in the first place. Even if Allison hadn't won, he would have done anything to retrieve it.

"I never imagined I'd find it here," he said, his voice low and raspy.

"This necklace is called the Heart of Eternity, meant to symbolize undying love... though now, it feels almost cruel." The ruby gleamed, red like blood, like a heart.

But hearts change over time. What, then, was eternal? "Mr. Lloyd..." Allison began, but Kellan was already lifting the necklace from its box.

That was when Allison's instincts flared. Something wasn't right.

A soft "tick" echoed faintly through the night.

In the otherwise silent surroundings, the sound was impossible to miss.

Her sharp eyes darted to the wooden box. Years of training as an assassin sent alarms through her mind. "This box... something's off." Allison grabbed the box and, in one swift move, flipped it over.

Beneath the smooth wood, a hidden compartment revealed the truth — a bomb.

It was a micro-bomb, the kind developed in Vrining. Small, efficient, and nearly impossible to detect.

Once triggered, survival was almost impossible.

The worst part? The timer was counting down, only ten seconds left.

"No... there's no time." There wasn't enough tto think, let alone act.

The second she recognized the bomb, Allison reacted without hesitation. She hurled the box away and grabbed Kellan, pulling him with her as they dove into the nearby lake.

A powerful boom shattered the night as the bomb detonated, sending a massive spray of water into the air.

Shards from the explosion pierced the surface, creating violent ripples across the lake, like dark flowers blooming in the sky.

Soon, blood mixed with the water, swirling in the depths. Below, tangled in the lake's thick weeds, the roar of En the blast echoed in Allison's ears. The cold, biting water closed in around her, pulling her into the darkness. Death felt closer than ever.

Yet, amidst the chaos and the freezing water, she felt the warmth of a body pressed against hers, holding her tightly. Kellan wasn't letting go.
