Chapter 108
Acting purely on instinct, Anastasia hurled herself to the ground.
“Guh—!”
A man in black suddenly leapt down and struck Victor to the ground in one swift blow.
Anastasia’s legs gave out—she couldn’t even think about standing. The man in black who had pinned Victor turned to her and said,
“Excellent reflexes. I was planning to rescue you anyway.”
A dagger was now clenched in Victor’s hand—when had it even appeared?
Where exactly had that dagger been aimed?
Goosebumps prickled up Anastasia’s spine.
Even if she hadn’t liked him much as a person, she had still trusted him as a colleague.
That was why, when Victor had said Namia had “asked him to bring the dragon’s blood,” she hadn’t doubted it for a second.
“Clever enough, I’ll give him that.”
Kiaros’s slow voice came from behind.
