685 At what costs

Quickly escaping the Manor that was collapsing, Jason rushed past the room Jennifer was still inside.

Jennifer was still releasing the tremendous pressure and energy currents that were filled with her wrath, frustration and agony, and Jason couldn't help but feel odd and helpless.

He wanted to stop and help her, but there was nothing he could do right now.

As such, Jason decided that it would be better to pay more attention to his own safety as he rushed outside the manor.

Taking a deep breath, he turned around to scan the manor and assess the entire situation with his Emperor Eyes.

The attack of the assassins, or whatever they truly were, had just begun a few minutes before. As such, many were still fighting, ignoring the collapsing house.

Instead of leaving, they were trying to make use of the sudden change to surprise attack each other.

This worked only partially, and in most of the cases, in favor of the assassins.
