Chapter 24: merchant
"So, what do you say? Will you join my faction?"
Kieran locked gazes with Nellyx, his suppressed rage evident.
"If you won’t support me against the Nelkon family, I don’t think there’s a reason to join your faction," Kieran said resolutely.
’I can simply join another faction. She’s trying to turn this situation to her favor.’ Kieran looked at Nellyx; she was obviously smart.
If he wasn’t any smarter, he would have completely forgotten the fact that there were other factions.
"For a moment, I thought you would have fallen for her trick," Alexa smiled. "The best revenge is a well-cooked one. Don’t make drastic decisions due to people’s influence. I learned this from someone."
Alexa understood her words clearly. He had almost fallen for the trick because of his desperation.
He could see that Nellyx was really good at the game.
"She could make a good merchant, but against someone with years of experience like me, she won’t stand a chance... Hmph."
Kieran felt the urge to facepalm. ’I almost forgot she’s a phoenix.’
Kieran turned back to Nellyx, his haunted eyes fixed on her.
