Chapter 67: Bizarre Situation
Iris saw a familiar figure leaning against a white Maserati Levante, looking stunning with his tall stature. His presence in the parking lot was bound to attract attention from the passing students.
’What the hell?’ Iris gasped in shock. ’Why does Gavriel appear here? And he showed himself in front of other people?’ She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.
Her steps abruptly stopped as she saw Gavriel in a public place, and from Xavier’s gaze, she assumed Xavier could see him, too.
Xavier also stopped when he noticed Iris pausing. He glanced at her and asked, "Do you know him?" pretending not to be aware of Gavriel’s identity.
Iris was surprised to hear Xavier’s voice and turned her gaze toward him, feeling a mix of worry and confusion. She didn’t know how to answer him for a few seconds, seeing the curiosity in his eyes.
"Y-yes, I know him," Iris finally said with a slight nod.
"I see. You seem shocked to see him. Who is he?" Xavier asked again, this time shifting his gaze toward Gavriel while giving him a warning look and asking Gavriel to pretend not to know him. After Gavriel understood his signal, Xavier turned his attention back to her.
Iris was utterly speechless, her tongue feeling stiff as she struggled to find the right words to answer him.
"My family," she replied hesitantly. She couldn’t disclose Gavriel’s true identity. How could she explain that Gavriel was a God Helper or someone from the realm of God? No one would believe her, including Xavier, if she told the truth. He might think she was crazy.
