Chapter 178: Returning to Celestara, And Synthex
I’m still fucking pissed off, Rael thought as he finally pulled into the Celestara mountainside elevator. The fucker tried to kill my wife, and then he went ahead and died.
This is just bull—
“Rael?” Zafira called out as she patted his shoulder. “I don’t know what you saw, but I’m not dead. I’m here with you.”
“I know. Sorry.” Rael sighed as he leaned back in his seat. “I’m mad that I didn’t expect it. They are barbarians, so naturally, they have a different way of doing things. I should’ve done some research on them…”
“I already researched them before we left,” Zafira said plainly. “Chieftain Jin was said to be a calm and magnanimous man. A great ruler, and all of those flowery words. But as you can see, my information network was flawed.”
But mine isn’t… Rael thought. I should pay Zareth a visit.
Rael’s information network was obviously much better than hers, and if he had visited Zareth beforehand, he would’ve seen this coming.
But that was a blunder on his part, and Rael would never make the same mistake again.
Nonetheless, they chatted a bit on their way to the palace where Rael dropped Zafira off.
However, right as she was about to step out of the car, she suddenly leaned in, placing a kiss on his cheek.
Rael turned in surprise, but he was already too late, Zafira had already left the car and was waving at him.
