My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 533

Because of this, no one has ever successfully removed a demonic insect from its host.

However, since 008 was the one who proposed this solution, Kisha was confident in their success, especially since they had plenty of vials of the blue liquid prepared.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged wide-eyed glances, their mouths agape, but the excitement in their eyes was unmistakable.

They too longed to be free from the torment they had endured.

It felt as though sharp needles were stabbing into their chests, and something sinister was writhing within their hearts, tightening its grip with unrelenting force.

The pain was worse than anything they had ever experienced before.

Now that Kisha had decided to rid them of this abominable demonic insect, a wave of relief surged through them.

They rejoiced with vigor, Kisha could feel their collective joy, knowing just how deeply they had suffered from the insect’s relentless stirrings.

Without the antidote to keep it dormant, the demonic insect had wreaked havoc within their hearts, and now, finally, they would be free.

With the problem resolved, all they needed to do was wait for 008 to complete the purchase before they could proceed.

"Quiet down, please," Kisha said, her gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces.

"I’m speaking to you as someone Duke considered family, which means you are also part of mine. So, I expect none of you to bite the hand that feeds you."

"I can assure you, even if my husband chooses to tolerate betrayal, I will not. And I will ensure you answer for any treachery." Kisha’s voice was stern, her tone unwavering.

"Now, I need to gather the materials for the demonic insect’s extraction. In the meantime, you may return to your tasks. I’ll call you back when I’m ready."

"Do not worry, Madam, we understand," Sparrow said, stepping forward with respect.

"The Master has always been our Master since he took us in. If anyone dares to betray him, we will ensure that they face the consequences."

"You need not stain your hands with such matters—we will deal with the traitor, ensuring they meet a cruel and regretful end. And, Young Madam, as the Master’s wife, you are our master as well. Please allow us to serve both of you without concern."

Sparrow bowed deeply in front of Kisha and the Duke. Duke, standing behind Kisha like a lion guarding his lioness, watched with pride as his men showed the respect his wife deserved.

A smile spread across his face, knowing that his loyal subjects recognized Kisha’s rightful place.

After Sparrow, Vulture stepped forward, his voice steady and filled with reverence. "Young Madam, from the moment you helped our Master bear his burdens in City A, we recognized you as his true partner."

"We knew only you could stand by his side. Our respect and admiration for you is no different than the loyalty we feel for him."

"You are now one of us, and we will never betray the hand that has fed us, clothed us, and given us a future. Those who dare to do so deserve nothing less than a thousand needles pricking their skin, followed by a death so agonizing that they will regret their betrayal."

"That’s right!" Everyone echoed in unison, their voices filled with unwavering support for Sparrow and Vulture’s words.

Their loyalty was clear, and it was enough to make Duke’s heart swell with pride. He couldn’t help but smile widely, a grin that spread across his face like a satisfied lion.

As soon as his men left, Duke wasted no time. He wrapped his arms around Kisha from behind, his grin widening as he held her close.

"I’m so happy to hear my wife acknowledge me in front of so many people," Duke chuckled, the sound rich and deep, vibrating in Kisha’s ear and sending a warm, melodic hum that lingered in her senses.

Duke openly flirted with Kisha, his affection evident for all to see.

Sensing the intimate moment, everyone tactfully excused themselves, giving the couple the space to enjoy each other’s company.

The Winters’ men quietly returned to their work, leaving without a word, while the STAU team, inspired by the display of loyalty and unity, felt a surge of motivation.

Witnessing the pain the Winters’ men had endured from the demonic insect’s attack on their hearts, the STAU members knew they would soon face the same fate.

Yet, before that day came, they were eager to ensure they, too, would be part of the group Kisha would help extract the demonic insect from.

Their dedication grew stronger with each passing moment, as they knew the cost of delay could be far greater than they had imagined.

After all, they were only human, longing for a better life.

They had merely stumbled upon a secret they weren’t meant to know, and in truth, they hadn’t done anything to wrong Kisha or her people.
