Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

spray

As blood spurted from the wound, staining Jane's petite body red, the man fell to the ground, loosening his hold on Jane.

Bang

The world seemed to hold its breath, and everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Kaya watched everything happening in front of her with wide eyes and was the first person to regain her composure.

"simple!"

Kaya's heartbeat quickened, her chest rose and fell violently, and the sight she saw made it almost impossible for her to breathe. Jane stood there, tears streaming down her cheeks, shaking, but she was still alive. Kaya's legs moved before she was fully aware of the situation, and she quickly ran to her daughter.

She knelt down and pulled Jane into her arms, holding her tight as if she would never let go. Tears streamed from her own eyes, and her body shook with the fear she was letting go.

Kaya's voice was shaking with a mixture of emotions as she whispered to comfort her daughter. "Jane, you're safe. You're safe now."

"Wow--!"

Jane's sobs were heartbreaking, her tiny body shaking with fear and relief. She clung to her mother as if her life depended on it, her head buried in Kaya's shoulder.

"Mom, I'm so scared... It's so scary... Wow!"

Kaya rocked her gently, her hands rubbing soothing circles on Jane's back, and she held her daughter close, as if to block out all the pain in the world.

"It's okay, Jane." Kaya's voice was gentle and like medicine, a soft melody designed to calm the storm in Jane's heart. "You're okay. You're with me now."

However, as Kaya comforted her daughter, her eyes darted around, trying to figure out who had fired the shot.

Her eyes fell on a young boy who was about the same age as her nephew.

His face was hidden by a hood, but dark hair could be seen through the edge of the hood. He gave off an ordinary aura, so Kaya immediately ruled out that he might have done it.

However, just as she was about to turn her attention elsewhere, suddenly, her brown eyes met the boy's purple eyes.

Those eyes were motionless, like a person who had lost everything.

'Hmm?' Kaya asked herself. There was something familiar about those eyes, and then she remembered.

It looks like the eyes of that time.

However, Kaya didn't have time to wonder whose eyes those were. She looked around for any sign of the attacker, but found none.

' He might be nearby , ' she thought.

It was an unknown attacker, and she herself was unaware of it, so she needed to be careful.

She didn't want to put her daughter at risk again. Kaya focused her attention on her daughter and continued to comfort her.

Jane's crying gradually turned into sobbing, and her body gradually relaxed and nestled in her mother's arms. She gently pulled away and looked at Kaya with tearful eyes.

"Mom, Mom... I thought I... I thought..." Her voice trembled, and the mixture of fear and relief could still be seen in her eyes.

Kaya's heart ached at the fragility in her daughter's voice. She held Jane's face in her hands, her tears mixing with hers.

"You are strong, Jane." Kaya's voice was firm and proud. "I am here to protect you."

Jane nodded, clutching Kaya's arm tightly, as if she needed it to tie herself to reality.

"I love you, Mom." Although Jane's voice was low and weak, it was full of affection that could not be fully expressed in words.

Kaya's eyes sparkled with tears, and her heart was filled with love for her daughter. She lowered her head and gently kissed Jane's forehead.

"I love you more than ever, Jane. I promise I will always be by your side."

“…”

After she said these words, the girl did not respond.

'What's going on?' Kaya immediately looked at her daughter, wondering what was going on, but there was nothing wrong.

"Uh-huh……"

The girl just slept quietly in her mother's arms, with some traces of tears still on her face and hiccups occasionally.

Kaya gently wiped away her daughter's tears, her heart filled with relief and worry.

“Tsk!”

At this moment, a sharp smacking of tongues broke the atmosphere. Kaya's eyes suddenly turned to the injured demon contractor, who had barely stood up.

The injured demon contractor slowly stood up, his body trembling with pain. Blood stained his clothes, but his eyes flickered with anxiety. Despite the serious injuries, his eyes still carried a tenacious resistance.

Kaya's instinct was to confront him, to make sure he was no longer a threat. But the memory of firing the gun held her back. The unknown attacker might still be nearby, quietly watching, waiting for the right moment. Her protective instincts kicked in again, and she knew she couldn't risk Jane's safety.

As the demon contractor managed to stand still, Kaya tightened her grip on Jane. Her brown eyes locked onto the man, her face full of vigilance and determination. She was ready for anything.

"It's not over yet." His voice was heavy but firm, cutting through the air like a knife.

His words were a threat, and Kaya could feel them piercing her bones. Anger and fear welled up in her, and she wanted to make him pay for what he had done, but her priorities were clear.

She stared at the devil contractor and noticed that his eyes were changing and wandering, as if he was assessing the situation. A sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Kaya instantly understood that he knew her difficulties.

"You might want to focus on your next steps, Kaya Hartley." His voice was grimly satisfying. "This reunion has been an enlightening one. But remember, this is far from over."

Kaya clenched her jaw and breathed heavily through her nostrils as she tried to calm her anger. She knew she couldn't let him go unchecked, but considering that there might be another attacker who would target Jane's safety again, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Kaya sighed deeply and made a decision. She never took her eyes off the demon contractor, but she didn't rush over. Instead, she hugged Jane tightly, still protecting her.

"You're right," she said, her voice carrying the same resolve as his own. "This is far from over. But right now, I have more important things to deal with."

The Demon Contractor's smile grew brighter. It was obvious that he knew he had touched Kaya's pain point, and he was immersed in it.

"Sure enough, you're still that selfish bitch who only cares about the people around you."

His voice echoed through the museum, but Kaya remained still, her expression unchanged. She held her daughter tightly in her arms, staring intently at the demon contractor. She could feel Jane's body trembling in her arms, reminding her of the stakes of this dangerous game.

As the Devil Contractor finished his words, he began to move. Kaya turned her gaze to him and saw a group of people standing there, confused and injured, but still alive, trying to recover themselves in the chaos. They were the survivors of this nightmare, still fragile and helpless.

Kaya looked at the group of people with cold eyes. She had a premonition of the devil's intention.

"don't want!"

"Help us, Miss Kaya!"

“Help!”

Their shouts reached her ears, but she did not move. She just stood there, watching quietly.

"See... this is you, the selfish bitch. Even now, you're abandoning all these people for your child, just like you did before."

As his words deepened, the Demon Contractor's hands stretched out, and his fingers glowed a sickly green light.

When his hands touched the wounded, their faces twisted in agony. Kaya's brown eyes never wavered, watching quietly.

Between those people she didn’t know and her daughter, the priority was always her child.

The scene before him was like a slowly unfolding nightmare. The power of the Devil Contractor sucked the life force from the injured, and as their life faded, his form began to revive.

"Never forget...the karma of everything you do will find you in the future. I will make it happen."

“Everyone will suffer the consequences of their actions.”

Following these words, the Demon Contractor pushed the artifact in his hand and disappeared from his original position, leaving only a small puff of smoke.

Kaya's expression remained indifferent, and her heart was not shaken by the choice she made.

It was a cruel world where the strong prevailed, and she had no regrets about choosing her own child over those strangers.

She's not a hero, and she's not someone who fights for justice. She's just a strong mother who only wants to protect her children.

Thump thump thump

At this moment, heavy footsteps echoed in the museum. A group of uniformed officials quickly rushed into the scene, their expressions mixed with urgency and concern.

"First control the scene and check the situation. If you find anyone seriously injured, provide first aid immediately."

They quickly assessed the scene, observing the injured, the chaos, and the still figure of Kaya holding Jane in her arms.

One of the prosecutors, exuding an air of authority, approached Kaya with a look of sympathy and determination. "Ms. Kaya Hartley, are you okay? What happened here?"

Kaya's eyes turned to her daughter, a warm expression on her face.

Seeing Jane sleeping peacefully, she raised her head again, a serious, professional expression on her face.

"When I arrived, the situation was dire," Kaya began, her voice steady and calm. "Monsters and a demon contractor launched a coordinated attack on this place. Security was quickly breached, and chaos ensued."

She looked around, her eyes briefly resting on the injured and the destruction around her. "I took immediate action to protect my daughter and those around me. I was able to create a barrier around Jane, ensuring she was not in danger. Once that was done, I worked with several other capable individuals to assist the injured and guide them to safe evacuation."

Her words were succinct and focused on the facts and actions taken rather than the emotions that accompanied them. She continued to focus on the prosecutor and recounted what happened in a professional manner.

"We confronted the attackers and managed to repel them. However, the demon contractor used some kind of artifact to absorb the life force from the injured, allowing him to regain his strength. He said something and disappeared, leaving behind only a puff of smoke."

At this point, Kaya did not mention the choice she made. She had decided to ensure that what happened here would never be reported to the media or society.

"I will provide the necessary information and cooperate fully to ensure that these people are brought to justice." After she finished speaking, she slowly hugged her daughter.

The prosecutor nodded, listening carefully to Kaya's account. "Thank you, Ms. Kaya. Your efforts have undoubtedly saved many lives today. We will give you the time you need to receive treatment for Ms. Jane. If you would like a quick checkup, you can go to our doctors. Although they will be busy, I will arrange a room for Ms. Jane to be examined."

After the official finished speaking, he looked at the little girl in Kaya's arms.

"I'm just glad little Miss Hartley is okay."

Hearing this, Kaya nodded.

"Indeed, luckily she's okay." Her mind was filled with the image of the unknown attacker. That person saved her daughter, but he was also a threat.

One who could hide from all her perception, even when all her perception was focused on her daughter and another demon contracted one.

'It seems that I am still lacking in detection ability.' At this moment, Kaya secretly vowed to find the unknown attacker, but she didn't know that he was standing behind her.

However, when she saw the prosecutor in front of her paying so much attention to her, she naturally turned the focus back to herself.

"What's your name?" She saw a smile on the female official's face when she asked her name.

"My name is Kian Miller, from the 15th police station in Nissauria."

"Understood, Miss Miller. I'll remember your name."

Creep

"Um...Mom..."

Seeing the little girl twisting in her arms, Kaya decided to leave this bloody place immediately, knowing that she no longer needed to stay here.

Just like that, she left the scene and walked outside...
