Chapter 89: Gravity
Lethia stared at the three red cards in her hand. She glanced over at the single red cards held by Adam and Rowan.
In that moment, she realized that the three of them were rivals and could betray each other.
Rowan’s fingers gently brushed through Flo’s hair as he whispered something to her. A flicker of doubt stirred within Lethia. She bit her lower lip, trying to push her suspicions away.
Even now, she saw Adam talking with some of the Squad B3 members. Her heart raced. What if one of them decided to turn on her?
If the worst-case scenario happened, Lethia had to strike first. She had three red cards, and taking two more wouldn’t be much of an issue, right?
She shook her head, trying to rid herself of those dark thoughts. If she had five red cards right now, she’d feel more assured. Then she could focus on getting the blue cards for Chasey and Flo.
That thought led her to approach Adam. "Adam, I think I—"
"Let’s go find the two blue cards and end this nonsense game soon," Adam’s firm voice cut through her words, and she felt a slight relief, deciding to hold back what she was going to say.
She’d wanted to suggest it would be better for her to carry the red cards, but his invitation made her feel certain Adam wouldn’t betray her.
Even though she still wasn’t sure about Rowan, she pushed the thought aside. The three of them quickly set off to search for the blue cards.
It had been half an hour since the search started. Lethia had split off from Adam and Rowan, deciding to check out the second floor.
