Chapter 38: Deal with the Devil
"What!? That heretic!?" Raventa's pupils contracted, all the smiles immediately vanishing from her face.
Kirin and Sebastian's auras manifested, Aether slowly beginning to cover their bodies, prepared to either run or kill at any moment.
"Well, it seems like I was right... anyways, you're still James, don't worry." Beatrice whistled nonchalantly, as if teasing Johan, then added.
"Of course, that could change anytime you get on my nerves." She smiled dangerously. Radhaan had said it very clearly—to kill Johan before Johan could kill him—so there was no way she would suppress this information.
It was just her way of getting revenge on her employer for overworking her so much, sending her completely alone to basically die in that dungeon, which understandably pissed her off to no end. She even suspected that Radhaan was trying to get rid of her to gain full control over the organization's channels.
She still couldn't directly refuse his orders, so why not go in with more hands? She knew all about Kirin and Sebastian's strength, and something was definitely weird about Johan's body too.
If they could survive the Doomsday Trial, she would send the information to Radhaan.
'Or maybe I can just tell Radhaan everything... then use him. He won't have to blame me then.' Her grin widened.
"No, there's no way! I can't just partner with a devil worshiper..." Raventa yelled loudly, attracting eyes from the surroundings.
She covered her mouth, but her gaze was still fierce.
Beatrice suppressed an urge to laugh. 'How ironic! What a good girl...' She sighed resignedly at Raventa, then looked back up at the still dazed Johan.
