Chapter 146: Information
Riven walked out of the office. He closed the door and was about to leave when he saw Lance standing there.
Riven walked past him, but Lance raised his hand and blocked Riven. Riven looked down at the hand and then slowly looked up at Lance.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Why did you do it?" Lance asked.
"Hmmm, well, it’s simple— to give you a second chance," Riven said and tried to pass, but Lance still blocked him.
"You know that’s a lie. You know I hate you, and I wanted you out of the way. So why would you do something like that to help me?" Lance asked.
"Help you? Now let’s not get cocky," Riven said as he looked Lance in the eye. "I didn’t help you. I only made you trade one prison for another. One that doesn’t bind you in chains, but binds you to understand the weight of your own actions.
One that will make you live every day knowing that you were able to return to a normal life just because I came through for you. One that reminds you that I now have the power to ruin everything for you.
Once, you held the position of the hero, the chosen, but now all everyone sees you as is an unstable weapon— and that weapon has been tasked to me," Riven said with a smile.
