Eiden's eyes widened in disbelief as his brain struggled to process the sight before him. Arin was here and not just her, but also a buffed-up guy standing right beside her. She glanced at Eiden, then turned her gaze towards Ruel. Without speaking a word, she nodded at the man beside her. That was all it took. The buffed guy immediately dashed forward, running toward Ruel with surprising speed and precision. Ruel remained unaware, completely focused on Lyra, who was desperately struggling in his grip. Her eyes were clenched shut as she tried to yank her hand away from him. But Ruel, much stronger than her, kept shaking her arm, pulling her close, his grip unrelenting. Lyra began to sob, her body trembling from the helplessness and fear.
