Ivy's gaze grew colder but remained silent.
"My task," Angelina admitted, "was to bring him the human meat."
She swallowed.
"After I did that, I began to regret it. I realized something was wrong. Damien… was losing control of himself. It felt like someone else was replacing him."
Ivy's eyes flickered.
She had already suspected that the ring contained a higher consciousness attempting to take over Damien's body.
Angelina's testimony confirmed her theory, but it also introduced a new shock.
'So Damien was the one reborn… not Angelina,' Ivy realized.
The misunderstanding she once held quietly unraveled.
"Continue," Ivy said.
Angelina nodded.
"I believe Damien is preparing to attack your base. Now that he has recovered his strength, he sent me here, into your base, with another mission."
She looked directly at Ivy.
"He wants me to get Arthur out."
Ivy frowned, her brows knitting together as a chill crept up her spine.
"Why?" she demanded, her voice tight with suspicion.
