Chapter 27: Doubts

I slapped his hands away, and a soft chuckle escaped his lips.

"Not when the fire is strong enough," he replied.

"You'll only know once you test it out. But then again, you might regret it."

"You really don't back down, huh?"

"Never. Especially when it comes to my family."

"I'll make sure to keep a close eye on you, Agent Helios."

"You can expect the same from me, Agent Selene."
