Chapter 265: Rat.

Malachi had surprised everyone in the clearing when the first thing that he did was rush to grab Ryo by the neck and hold him over his head.

Without a single moment of hesitation, he lammed his face into a rugged tree a few feet away from him.

"Malachi!! What are you doing!?"

Serana rushed to defend her boyfriend and tried to pull Malachi away from him.

However, his grip was like iron and he held Ryo firmly by his now bleeding skull.

"I've been feeling funny ever since I heard that fabricated ass story.. by some sort of miracle he just happened to be found by one of the groups out in the wastes? I should have done something sooner." 

"You're being crazy! Get off of him, please I'm begging you!!!"

Malachi finally took his gaze off of Ryo's head and stared at Serana with eyes full of anguish and anger.
