Seven Sins System Chapter 326. Complicated
Puriel's PoV
Puriel sauntered out of the infirmary and closed the door behind her, the old hinges squeaking in protest. But that wasn't the end of it, not for Puriel. She didn't just walk away.
Instead of leaving, she crept back to the door, her fingers gently wrapping around the handle. With an almost mischievous glint in her eyes, she cracked it open just a smidge, just enough to get a peek inside.
It was a classic move, one that even the old-school private detectives would nod in approval at. She knew she had the advantage with her skill. But Puriel wasn't one to underestimate Azrael. The devil was slippery, and as sharp as a serpent's tooth. It was only a matter of time before he sensed her holy power so she preferred to spy on him in an old-fashioned way.
Puriel's keen eyes remained locked on the scene within the infirmary. The door was barely cracked open, just enough for her to get a glimpse of Azrael, who was sitting there like the picture of tranquility.
Azrael sat in his chair. A medical textbook lay open in his hand, its pages filled with diagrams and mortal knowledge. One hand cradled his chin, while his elbow rested lazily on the chair's arm. His legs were neatly folded, one ankle casually crossing over the other, and he appeared utterly at ease. This was a different Azrael than the one Puriel knew.
Puriel couldn't help but wonder what he was up to. It wasn't often she saw him so relaxed, so…human. It was a sight that intrigued her.
'He doesn't look that bad,' she thought, her inner voice catching her by surprise. It was the most random and wildest thought that had ever crossed her head. Seriously, of all the things to pop into her brain while spying on her nemesis, it had to be this?
