Chapter 135
Barbara and I saw Noel’s memories.
Barbara must have realized that I was in a situation similar to Noel’s. She was more than capable of figuring that out.
I had to make a decision. Barbara was an extremely dangerous existence. If I thought about it rationally, I had to kill her right here, even if it meant breaking my promise.
Creak.
My fingers groaned under the output I drew forth. If necessary, I could crush Barbara’s neck and burst her head. A single moment would be enough.
Would killing Barbara here be to our advantage? Or would it bring about an even greater disaster?
It was difficult to even speculate what kind of preparations Barbara had made in case of her own death.
Since I didn’t know the full extent of her capabilities, I couldn’t kill her recklessly. And Barbara knew that, which was why she had boldly chosen to face me in reality.
"Hmm, you’re in quite a complicated situation too."
Barbara spoke. She steadied herself and got up from the examination chair.
"Barbara, I don’t see you as someone loyal to the Empire. You must have some personal agenda. Either that, or you’ve made a deal with the upper ranks of the Empire."
