Chapter 185
- Luka, please prioritize protecting Anguis Regina. I’ll explain the details later, but... the target of this attack is me. Anguis Regina is only a secondary objective. I’ll contact you again once this situation is resolved.
I listened to Jafa’s recording. Toward the end of the recording, there was even the sound of an explosion. Jafa was under attack as well. It seemed like an emergency in more ways than one.
