Chapter 149: Revenge is not good
"Sister... what is wrong with you? Why aren't you speaking anything ?" Rubin asked, his expression twisted in confusion as he stepped inside the room. His eyes flicked to Reina, standing silent, frozen.
"I-I—"
"Because she can't," a deep, calm voice echoed from behind.
"What the—!?" Rubin flinched, instantly turning around, his hand flying toward his pocket. Leon stood there, looking at him with a smile as he closed the door shut.

"Hello, Rubin," Leon said, smiling like he was greeting a friend.
"Who the fuck are you? Sister, get behind me." Rubin growled, protective, stepping in front of Reina as his fingers curled inside his pocket.
"You might not want to do that," Leon said, his eyes never leaving Rubin's. "I mean, why would you want to kill your sister's husband?"
"W-What!?" Rubin's voice cracked as he glanced between Leon and Reina, utterly stunned.
"Darling," Leon said, his voice soft yet sharp like a dagger under silk, "why don't you come here and tell your dear brother the truth ?"
"Y-Yes..." Reina whispered as she walked up to Leon, trembling, and stood beside him.
