With cautious steps, Lilis approached Kania, who lay sprawled on the floor but still clutched her pistols. Kania grimaced, clutching her wounded leg near the window at the edge of the room.
Her long tied purple hair was now a tangled mess, sweat dripping down her forehead. Yet, her hands still gripped both pistols tightly, refusing to let them go.
Her dark eyes glared straight at Lilis and Nina, who now stood beside her, but even so, Kania was still desperately searching for one last chance to escape.

She pulled the triggers several times, but a bitter truth struck her—every pistol was out of bullets.
And worse, she had no more loaded magazines left. Everything was completely spent.
“This is truly the end, Senior Kania. There’s nowhere left for you to run. On the first floor, the battle has ended too, and you can already hear the footsteps coming this way, can’t you?”
Nina stood right beside Kania, watching her every move with utmost vigilance. They both knew just how dangerous Kania could still be.
Not just because of her skills as the bureau’s number one agent, but because she carried information too important—information that could endanger the bureau if it ever fell into the wrong hands.
From outside the building, the roar of approaching vehicles echoed closer, rushing toward the abandoned structure.
It seemed to be the reinforcements from the bureau, arriving to surround the building and ensure Kania would have no way of escaping.
Seeing the blood still flowing from her senior’s leg, Lilis’s heart ached. She quickly knelt beside the pale-faced Kania.
Without hesitation, she tore off a strip of the white curtain in the room to make an emergency bandage.
“Please, don’t move, Senior!” Lilis said softly, her voice filled with genuine care.
Quickly but carefully, she wrapped Kania’s wound, pressing the bleeding as best as she could with the fabric.
Kania, who had been suffering moments before, now looked at Lilis with a mix of emotions in her eyes. Her lips curved into a small, ironic smile.
“You really haven’t changed, Lilis,” she said weakly, though there was warmth behind her words, the same warmth she once showed when they were teammates.
Lilis paused, her eyes filled with sadness as she looked at her senior.
“I’m only doing what I believe is right, Senior. I can’t just let you bleed out and die like this… not when you’re the one who once guided me in the bureau.”
“So, deep inside, you still have that unchanging conscience, huh? That’s what makes you different. But… this world won’t always be kind to you, Lilis.”
Even through her pain, Kania could still recall the past she once shared with Lilis.
Lilis sighed softly, then returned to tending the wound.
“I know… but I can’t turn into someone who doesn’t care. You know me better than anyone, don’t you, Senior?”
When she tied the final knot of the makeshift bandage neatly, Kania closed her eyes for a moment, as if reflecting.
“Lilis… maybe that’s what makes you both strong and weak at the same time.”
A brief silence filled the brightly lit room—the only room with light in the abandoned building.
Before standing, Lilis looked down at Kania gently. “This isn’t the end, Senior. We’ll bring this to the bureau’s tribunal. And maybe… just maybe, there will still be a chance for you to set things right.”
Kania smiled faintly. She couldn’t bring herself to answer, only letting Lilis and Nina decide what came next.
By now, the entire area around the building had been surrounded by bureau agents, ready to arrest and take Kania into custody.
Kania exhaled heavily, her body weary and drained after the fierce battle with Lilis and Nina. Despair lingered in her eyes, as if she had already accepted that her struggle had been in vain.
All her running, all her resistance—it had all led to this point, where she lay defeated and wounded.
“You win. I only wanted to live freely on my own terms… but it seems I chose the wrong path,” Kania finally admitted, her trembling voice acknowledging defeat.
Lilis felt sympathy for her, but Nina stepped forward, holding a pair of handcuffs. With quick precision, she snapped them onto Kania’s wrists, which no longer held her pistols.
Kania sighed once more, accepting her fate with her head held high.
Beneath the faint moonlight seeping into the abandoned building, the three secret agents who had once fought fiercely now gazed silently at one another.
Moments later, the other agents stormed in and escorted Kania away.
“We did it, Lilis. We gave it our all,” Nina said, a faint smile tugging at her lips, though it looked stiff—since she rarely ever smiled.
“Yes. We did it, Nina,” Lilis answered, her face softening with relief.
Not far from the abandoned building, Rega quietly observed the surroundings before emerging from his underground hideout.
He stepped out cautiously, his sharp eyes scanning every corner. The cold night wind brushed against his face, but he felt a wave of relief.
“At last, I’m free. Kania, you were my best pawn! Hahaha!”
Rega glanced back at the building behind him, laughing again, his laughter brimming with triumph.
But his joy did not last long—
Bang!
The sudden crack of a gunshot shattered the night. Pain seared through his back like fire.
His body staggered, then collapsed heavily onto the ground.
His vision blurred, and he weakly tried to clutch at his back, but his strength was fading fast.
From another direction, heavy footsteps approached him, slow and deliberate.
It was Orlan, emerging from the shadows. His cold gaze fell on Rega’s collapsed figure. He stopped beside him, then without hesitation snatched a small notebook—the one containing all the bureau’s classified data.
“I’ll take this. You don’t deserve it, you filthy official,” he sneered, grinning in satisfaction at the fallen Rega.
Without another glance, Orlan turned and walked away, leaving Rega alone in the darkness of the night.
