Killing Shermaine? It was impossible.
Secing that Dave was safe, Shermaine swiftly relocated.
Judy’s men couldn’t pinpoint Shermaine’s location, and the mutant remained locked in combat with Joshua.
Judy’s plan had been flawless, yet it failed spectacularly. Shermaine seemed to have anticipated every move, leaving Judy scrambling.
Dave escaped. While others couldn’t find Shermaine, Dave had no trouble. Over a year apart, and Dave was overjoyed. It landed on Shermaine’s head, tearful with relief. “Sheary, you finally came for me!”
Shermaine teased, “Saving you was just a side mission.”
Dave shook its head stubbornly, certain she had come specifically for it.
Shermaine raised her binoculars, observing Joshua.
The mutant outmatched him in speed and strength, yet Joshua grew stronger with each exchange.
Dave, utterly unconcerned about Joshua, plopped onto the binoculars, blocking Shermaine’s view. “Sheary, Judy was so mean.”
Shermaine lowered the lenses. “How so?”
“She locked me up and starved me. A whole year without food. Look how skinny I got.” Dave whined pitifully.
Shermaine examined it. “A bit thinner, yes.” Her eyes crinkled with amusement. “Missed fried chicken and barbecue?”
Dave nodded frantically, drooling at the thought, its stomach growling loudly.
Shermaine chuckled, “Too bad we’re in the Kingdom of Xyperia. No fried chicken here.”
Dave pouted, “Then let’s go back.” Earth’s delicacies were all it craved.
Shermaine had been waiting for this. She had doubted Dave’s capability, but now, relief washed over her.
Dave hesitated. “But…”
“But what?” Shermaine asked.
Dave rubbed its belly. “I need lots of aura stones first.”
“After we deal with Judy, eat all you want,” Shermaine said, patting its head.
Dave huffed, “Good! She deserves a beating.”
Just then, a deafening explosion erupted from Joshua’s direction.
Shermaine shoved Dave aside and snatched up the binoculars. Through the smoke, she saw blood dripping from Joshua’s arm. Her expression darkened
as she pulled out a sniper rifle–loaded not with bullets, but a custom serum.
The mutant, sensing he was going to lose control, gulped down a stabilizing potion.
At the same time, Shermaine fired. The syringe struck the mutant’s neck.
Two conflicting serums surged through the mutant’s veins. Agony tore through its skull.

Chapter 515
Seizing the opening, Joshua slit the mutant’s throat and then vanished into chaos.
After that, Judy searched frantically but couldn’t locate their hideout. She ordered city–wide house raids, plunging Summerbank into chaos.
Fury burned in Judy’s chest.
Harry spoke cautiously, “Princess Judy, I suspect a traitor.”
Judy’s face darkened. “Impossible. My royal advisors are loyal.”
“Sut only they knew the plan. If Shermaine and Joshua were prepared, someone must have warned them.”
“Investigate.”
