Bab 149: 7.38 Consequences of Unbridled Ambition

Stryxon's heart raced within his chest, yet he managed to conceal his inner turmoil, his gaze firmly fixed on Bliss.

"Whoever you are, you've got the wrong person. Cillian must have fed you lines, as it's clear you couldn't recognize him before," he stated with a firm resolve.

Bliss replied, "You're right. I didn't recognize him until he brought me back. Despite your insistence when I begged you not to harm Cillian, he genuinely cares for me. Once he shared our shared memories, everything came rushing back."

A sly smirk played on Bliss's lips, but Stryxon remained impassive, determined to eliminate the threat. He knew that even if others doubted him, he had an intimate understanding of Stellar, and he wouldn't face consequences without concrete evidence of his wrongdoing.

Stryxon scrutinized Bliss's face for any hint of deception. His gaze darkened when Bliss declared, "His supremacy severed our bond. No matter how hard you try, you'll never reach me."
