CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 596: WHO WAS THE PERSON WE SAW THAT DAY? (PART 2)

We just got together, I should have been pampering and cherishing you every way possible, but who knew a clueless assassin would ruin it. I was afraid you’d be upset, so after finishing my tasks today, I rushed over immediately. Who would have thought you were so busy that I’m only seeing you now."

Raina said with a full face of helplessness.

The Lord of the Dark Tower’s face grew increasingly old, as if covered with frost, and he sneered: "So this is my fault."

Raina quickly waved her hand: "No, of course it’s not your fault. It’s just that good things take time, look, now we’ve met, haven’t we?

Besides, we understand each other, there’s no need to worry in this moment. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, can this thing be put away? If it accidentally goes off, you’ll be a widow."

Saying this, Raina bent her finger and tapped the gun aimed at her forehead.

"A widow?" The Lord of the Dark Tower couldn’t help but snicker: "How do you know I don’t want to be a widow?"

Raina: "..."

Seeing a flash of murderous intent in the man’s eyes, Raina knew she had misplayed, and quickly submitted: "I was wrong, big shot, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have babbled nonsense. Please don’t get agitated, think carefully, if I get shot, I won’t survive."

"Since you won’t survive, then just die. I’m doing this for Alliance Leader Rivers’ good, if you don’t die, how will you learn the lesson that disasters come from careless talk?" After saying this, the Lord of the Dark Tower prepared to show no mercy.

The hairs on Raina’s back stood up instantly.

Hell, she was really about to bite the dust.

At this final moment, Raina suddenly thought aloud: "That day when I returned to the Umbral Zone, I saw someone."

The Lord of the Dark Tower’s finger paused: "Who?"

Raina’s eyes darted as she said: "Shift the gun a bit, of course, you can refuse, but I assure you, except for that person I saw, no one else in the world knows this matter."

The Lord of the Dark Tower’s eyes grew colder.

Raina neither flinched nor avoided.

The two stared at each other for quite a while, and finally, the Lord of the Dark Tower moved the gun aside: "Who exactly did you see that day?"

"Jonah Rivers. I saw Jonah Rivers."

The Lord of the Dark Tower sneered: "Words without proof, do you think by just mentioning a name, I’ll believe you?"

"It’s true!" Raina swore she didn’t lie to the Lord of the Dark Tower, that day she indeed saw Jonah Rivers, but she didn’t mention that Jonah Rivers was there to save her in Veridia.

The Lord of the Dark Tower put away the gun: "If that’s the case, I’m sure Alliance Leader Rivers won’t mind staying at the Dark Tower for a few days."

Mind.

Of course, she minded, okay?

But she seemed to have no choice now.

Seeing Raina agree, the Lord of the Dark Tower’s expression finally improved a bit: "Then let’s invite the Alliance Leader."

"No need to be so polite, I’ll just treat this place like my home." As Raina spoke, her hands suddenly darted out, and the silver needles between her fingers shot towards the Lord of the Dark Tower.

The Lord of the Dark Tower instinctively stepped back, avoiding the silver needles heading his way.

Raina seized the opportunity, took three steps in two strides to the balcony, flipped through the window, and leaped down.

At this point, a figure emerged from the shadows and asked in a low voice: "Should I catch him back, Lord?"

"No need, he won’t be able to escape." The Lord of the Dark Tower looked down at the silver needles in his hand.

When he saw clearly the appearance of the silver needles, a thousand ripples suddenly surged in his eyes.

Raina...
