Capítulo 618: The Priest's Tale

As soon as their ship docked in the Tower, Ashton and Anna headed towards Otiga as they were in need of her network and knowledge. As they approached her, Ashton couldn't help but notice her playful demeanour, but this time, there was no room for banter.

As they approached Otiga, she greeted them with a playful smile, but her keen eyes quickly noticed the seriousness etched on their faces. 

"Why the long faces?" she quipped, trying to lighten the mood. "Did the cultist escape, or did he turn to dust like the one you found before?"

"Oh, he's here alright..." Anna mumbled, looking at Ashton. 

Ashton was yet to explain his plan to her, so Anna kept making random remarks at him. Hoping Ashton would say something, but so far, he was as tight-lipped about it as ever. 

Ashton hesitated momentarily before answering, "The cultist is here but dead. I killed him."
