Chapter 325: Just Let the People Know
Cali turned, seeing her sitting on the couch as if she was there to guard her throughout the night. Well, that was indeed the right thought. She was guarding her since they’ll never know when Balon would launch his attack. Her men were also ready to barge into the house at any time depending on her signal.
"How long have you been watching me?" Cali mumbled as she rose up from the bed.
Raine chuckled, standing up as well. "I see that you have sharp instincts," she commented while walking up to Cali’s balcony. "I think you should swap with my room, Cali. That one doesn’t have a balcony. This place isn’t safe..."
Cali yawned and stretched her arms. "Ahh, but I like this room," she lightly replied. "I can see the sunrise better from here." Her face then suddenly fell upon seeing the worried look on her face. "Why? What’s wrong?"
Raine sighed loudly. This had been the plan all along, to tell Cali the truth because she needed her cooperation to catch the mutant.
With a serious tone, she looked at her as she began her spiel. "Yeah... It’s not over yet, Cali. I lied to Rui to appease him because I know he’ll do anything, even possibly take drastic measures just to protect you," she explained herself.
"I can’t afford any loose ends in this case, Cali, so I’ll need your help in finishing things up. Or else, Rui will end up jeopardizing everything, even your safety, without him knowing or realizing it in trying to help."
