Chapter 213: Threats And Secrets

Back at the community, Rachel and Mathias were granted safe passage across the wall but they were being watched within an earshot.

She noticed that Mathias looked nervous and she wondered if he had any malicious intent aimed towards her.

She knew that she could defend herself but it wasn't lost to her the biological advantage that Mathias had. He was a man and she was a woman.

"Are you alright? You look nervous…" Rachel brought it up to his attention and Mathias immediately adjusted his body language so he could give off a more confident persona.

"It was that obvious, huh?" Mathias responded with a weak laugh but she noticed that he was trembling for some reason.

She wanted to keep quiet and focus on the job at hand as they had already located the herbs that he wished to retrieve but she couldn't overlook it.

It wasn't who she was, not anymore and she sighed at the conundrum she found herself in.
