Chapter 142: Escaping! The Terrifying Desmond!
"But sister, you know that the Elven Tree is dying. If all three of us use it to teleport, it could potentially be destroyed," he said, then glanced at Kranos with a look of regret. "I think we should leave him behind."
Kathryn immediately frowned, while Kranos’s expression shifted drastically. Leave him behind? What kind of idea was that? A cold killing intent flashed through his eyes for a brief moment.
He turned to look at Kathryn, waiting for her decision. At the same time, he was prepared. If they truly intended to abandon him, then the moment she activated the teleportation portal, he would freeze Kevin in time and use the chaos to escape.
Just then, Kathryn’s voice rang out clearly.
"Brother, what kind of suggestion is that? If I hadn’t brought Kranos here, none of this would have happened. It’s my responsibility to protect him," she said, then threw Kranos an apologetic glance.
"I’m sorry for my brother’s words. Don’t worry. All three of us will leave safely," she continued with a gentle tone. Then, turning her attention to the green portal shimmering ahead, her expression shifted again into something more playful.
At that moment, Kevin’s voice echoed in her mind.
Excellent acting, sister. As expected of you. Toying with his emotions like this is truly delightful.
Kathryn’s grin deepened as she heard Kranos speak from behind her.
"Thanks," Kranos said, his emotions returning to their prior calm. He studied Kathryn, who was now muttering incantations at the portal, then sank into deep thought. Dozens of simulations began playing out in his mind as his time points decreased rapidly.
A few minutes passed as he remained lost in calculation. Then Kathryn’s voice came from ahead.
