Chapter 185: Do You Believe in Destiny!?
Xavier silently took a deep sigh, trying to put aside that matter. He would investigate later. For now, the important thing was to leave this place.
He glanced at Justin and instructed him to do something for him. After Justin confirmed his order, he left.
Xavier turned to see Iris in his arms. Seeing her slightly red eyes, as if she were holding back tears, broke his heart. It was rare for him to see her cry. She had only cried a few times since they had been in a relationship.
He gently raised his hand and gently stroked her warm cheek before saying, "My Darling, you don’t have to worry about Finn and Mikael. They are powerful. They will not burn to ash, even if that fire swallows them..." He smiled to reassure her, although deep down, he felt awful about lying to her.
In truth, Finn and Mikael were severely injured. If Iris hadn’t stopped time, they would have turned to ash. They would heal, but it would take a long time, and perhaps they would not return to their former power.
"Alright, let’s go home. We can’t stay here for long."
Iris agreed with Xavier. They couldn’t stay here any longer. The big explosion would surely attract the authorities, and it would be troublesome if someone knew their presence in that place.
Xavier carried Iris in his arms, and in an instant, they appeared in the luxurious and spacious bedroom at Xavier’s penthouse, in the same building as Iris’ apartment.
When Iris opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself in a new place. This wasn’t her apartment, and it certainly wasn’t his mansion.
"This place?" Iris turned her gaze to the vast window. She could see the colossal landmark tower in the middle of Orion City, standing majestically. "Huh!? Why does this view look familiar?"
Iris was puzzled because she usually saw this view from her bedroom door. She immediately asked Xavier to put her down. She walked toward the window and was surprised to see a small veranda like the one in her apartment.
