Her presence filled the room with a new tension. "Yes, I am," she replied, her voice hoarse yet steady. "I see you've been busy."
The veiled woman gently set the head aside, rising to her feet with a fluid grace. "Busy, yes," she said, her eyes narrowing as she assessed Abattre.
"Is this a new body?" She circled Abattre, inspecting her with amazement.
"You finally care about your appearance, huh? Usually, you just use that gas mask and black robe."
Abattre, now dressed in a black military suit with a coat cape, responded, "This is the only thing I found."
The woman laughed, a sound both charming and ominous. "So, why are you here?"
"Ah yes, your cheap plan didn't go well. What a shame that the information I gave you becoming a waste." she put her hand on her chin.
"..." Abattre hesitated, choosing her words carefully.
Finally the end of Vol 1! Thank you to readers who keep reading until this chapter and plan to keep going! Without you, this novel wouldn't have gotten this far!
