Mila rolled her eyes when she heard Aaric's answer which she thought was ridiculous.

A woman?! Mila really wanted to brutally beat this man.

​​

Even though what Aaric said wasn't wrong, since he was currently possessing a woman's body, he still couldn't say that with an innocent face, could he?

"Go over there and get the gun she is holding, or do something before Ellen's friend goes crazy and kills us both," Mila ordered Aaric, she grabbed the man's wrist and pushed him forward.

Even though Mila was suspicious of exactly what kind of a creature Claire was, because she felt that this woman in front of her was a different person, but now there was an even more urgent matter that had to be resolved first.

Staggering, Aaric ended up moving toward Claire and stood beside her.

Meanwhile, Claire was still in her original position, pointing a gun at Mila with a determined face. She only glanced at Aaric to make sure that her best friend was safe now.

"You must be an escaped research object," Claire said, appraising Mila's disheveled appearance. "They will take you back to the lab you came from."

Mila snorted in disgust when she heard that. She folded her arms in front of her chest and still maintained her arrogant attitude. Even with a gun pointed at her head, she didn't flinch a bit.

"I am starting to regret my decision to leave with you now, I should have gone with the vampires," she said to Aaric, ignoring the questioning look Claire gave her.

"Oh, come on, you change your mind so quickly," Aaric grumbled. "Just a moment ago you said you were happy to come with me."

The frown on Claire's forehead deepened as she listened to their conversation. What does they mean?

"Well, not now. Now I have the potential to be injured and returned to that damned place again," Mila cursed. "And now there is a stupid creature that threatens my safety."

"What does she mean?" Claire looked confused, but when she was about to glance at her best friend, Aaric had taken a swift action.

With a very shrewd move, Aaric easily disarmed the weapon Claire was holding and snatched it from her. The moment Claire recovered, she saw her best friend pointing the same gun at her.

"What the hell is this Ellen?" Claire tried to reclaim the gun, but Aaric pushed her away. "You are with her?"

Claire looked at Ellen in disbelief, then her focus shifted to Mila, who moved closer to Aaric and stood beside him.

"Don't look at me like that, if you have any questions, ask her." Mila nodded toward Aaric, then she walked toward the door. "We have to get out of here."

"Where do you keep your car keys?" Aaric asked Claire before he followed Mila out of the room.

"You are really siding with that non-human being? Have you gone mad?" Claire questioned Ellen's sanity. Every now and then she glanced at the window and realized that the house was completely surrounded. "You will not be able to escape from here," Claire hissed.

"That one problem, you don't have to worry about it, just tell me where you keep your car keys?" In Ellen's memory, Aaric knew that Claire would always park her car in the basement. They needed it because he couldn't possibly reach the car they had used earlier, as it was in the front courtyard that was now under siege.

"Ellen, you are not really going to do this, are you?" Claire was still staring at Aaric in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Mila, who was still standing in front of the door and preparing to leave the room, looked impatient to hear the two of them chat, but her eyes still narrowed suspiciously at Claire.

What did Mila feel different about Claire?

Mila re-analyzed and tried to remember what she had missed.

But, just at that moment, they heard a loud explosion sound from the direction of the front door. It seemed that the special forces chose to break down the main door and entered from there, because they didn't know for sure where Aaric and Mila were right now.

However, if Mila could say, this was very strange, because Claire should have known where their exact position was and this fact added to Mila's suspicion about Claire, that she was a different being.

But what?

And there was only one way that crossed Mila's mind to test it...

"We have to go now!" Aaric exclaimed, who then ran toward Mila, still with the gun in his hand. He didn't care about Claire's car keys anymore, he was going to find a way to start the engine without that damn key.

"Didn't I tell you earlier?" Mila grumbled, but as soon as Aaric was in front of her, she swatted away the man's hand which was about to pull her out of the room. Instead, Mila snatched the gun from his other hand.

It happened so fast and in the next second what Aaric heard was the sound of a gunshot from the gun in Mila's hand. It was aimed at Claire.
