Chapter 193: This World is Not As Simple As You Imagine
After Justin disappeared behind the door, Iris began discussing her next assignment, which never came.
Iris also expressed frustration because Gavriel had seldom contacted her lately. There were numerous things she wanted to ask Gavriel. However, his cell phone remained out of reach whenever she attempted to call him.
"I know you avoid me because I talk too much. Still, you must remember, Gavriel... you are my mentor!" she said casually, yet her words struck Gavriel’s mind like a blow.
Hearing her words, Gavriel could only bitterly laugh within himself.
"Blame your possessive husband! He’s the one who forbade me to contact you," Gavriel wanted to say, but he feared Xavier would scold him further. He pressed his lips, ignoring her protest.
However, he was also curious why Xavier suddenly summoned him to come to this place. When he inquired, Xavier simply mentioned that Iris wanted to talk with him. His curiosity grew when Xavier warned him not to take Iris out of the mansion a moment ago.
Initially, Gavriel was puzzled about why Xavier was so protective of Iris. But after hearing about recent events from Justin, he understood Xavier’s reasons: Demons and Dark witches were actively searching for her in the city.
This piqued his curiosity as to why she was being hunted down, especially since she had been killed before she transmigrated due to the actions of a demon.
Seeing her curious gaze fixed on him, Gavriel couldn’t resist explaining, "Iris, you know, I wasn’t involved in assigning your tasks, right?"
