Chapter 367: Your Ego Knows No Bounds
Seven Sins System Chapter 367. Your Ego Knows No Bounds
Once again, there she was—Puriel, across the room, eyes locked on me like she was seeing something new. Everyone else had cleared out, leaving just the two of us in this weird standoff.
It wasn't the usual hostility I was used to from her. Instead, her gaze had this mysterious edge to it, making me wonder what was running through her head. The air felt charged, like there were a million things she wanted to say but just couldn't find the words.
Trying to shake off the tension, I rolled my eyes and muttered to myself, "What's her deal?" as I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.
But to my surprise, Puriel caught up and started walking right beside me. The corridor was nearly silent, just our footsteps echoing off the walls, adding to the whole movie-like drama of it all.
Finally, I couldn't take the silence anymore. "Cut the act. If you've got something to say, just spit it out," I snapped without looking at her, the irritation clear in my voice.
But she didn't say anything right away, which just ramped up the anticipation.
Then, out of nowhere, I threw a curveball to break the ice. "Or have you fallen in love with me? That's why you can't stop staring?" I said with a heavy dose of sarcasm, hoping to catch her off guard.
I got a reaction alright. Puriel shot me a sharp look, clearly not amused. "Your joke is getting lame, Azrael. It's hardly funny anymore," she shot back, the annoyance obvious in her tone.
