Chapter 71: Cassian Knows
He took out that crystal and crushed it with no hesitation. The only sentence running through his mind was, ’Take me to Adeline!’
"I think this was a pretty successful gathering," Victoria remarked. Her expression didn’t show any signs of happiness... Or any emotion for that matter.
Adeline was still getting used to her. She smiled and nodded. The atmosphere was very peaceful. The cool breeze, the warm sun.
Although she was nervous when she saw that Cassian was here, she quickly forgot about it and enjoyed herself.
She looked around, Cassian had a faint smile on his face. He looked like he was enjoying himself too. Dimitri was shy at the beginning but he slowly started interacting freely.
Benedict was much more cheerful than she imagined. He did not like Sasa at all in the beginning but eventually, he plucked up the courage to pet it.
The male leads... They were just children... Adeline felt more confident about her friendship with them.
A sudden, sharp crack filled the garden. In an instant, the serene atmosphere shifted. There was the smell of blood in the air. And before them were two figures.
His form solidified as the energy dissipated, leaving him breathless and disoriented.
A man whose armour was soaked in blood and in his hands was a woman who was gravely injured.
Adeline’s heart dropped as she looked at the pair, her initial shock quickly turned into concern. The Captain’s expression was unlike any she’d ever seen before. He was always so composed and steady, but now, he looked panicked, eyes filled with fear.
