Chapter 60: Avoid The Public Eye
Claudia believed Leonard was messing with her, almost as if he was taking joy from watching her suffer. Maybe it was due to his sadistic behavior or because of revenge for her killings, but either way, she didn’t appreciate any of it.
"Have you made your first kill with magic or from sheer will?" Leonard ignored her temperament and questioned her.
"I’ve read the reports. Your first recorded kill was of a victim being stabbed with a sharp object repeatedly. When people attempt their first kill, they are unfamiliar and nervous. The forensics analysis reported the 3rd stab was lethal already."
"..."
Claudia kept quiet, clearly unwilling to discuss her first kill. As for him knowing the report of her killings, she didn’t react much to it. The Crown Prince’s influence and power were not just for show.
Knowing their name or identity was enough for him to uncover many things in the snap of a finger.
"You can’t be serious, right?" At this moment, Mirelle chimed in. She couldn’t stand how Leonard was trying to scheme such a malicious action.
Although he didn’t say it outright, Leonard was clearly trying to use Claudia to eliminate those who stood in his path.
What made it very low risk was the mere fact that Leonard could keep his hands clean if Claudia happened to fail.
After all, with the slave collar, followed by Leonard’s extraordinary status, he could easily cover his involvement.
"It’s just a casual remark." Leonard shrugged in response.
Mirelle pursed her lips. As if she were foolish enough to believe it was just some casual remark. Every word and every action of his held multiple meanings.
