Bab 176: An Unexpected Friendship

The moment Adam stepped inside his house, Tiamat's figure greeted him.

Arms crossed and eyes narrowed, she gazed at him, then at Mab on his shoulder.

An invisible pressure crashed over him, almost forcing his back to arch as the two goddesses glared daggers at each other for what felt like an eternal yet brief second.

Then, Mab shattered the silence first.

Her violet wings released golden dust as she flapped before Tiamat, smirking from ear to ear.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the queen of chaos herself."

The air froze as Tiamat's eyes swirled like two dark, chaotic pools. Her features hardened, and her jaw tightened.

Before she could answer, the wind whistled as Mab lunged at her neck without warning.

Adam's eyes widened, and his heart raced against his chest. Did she scam him in the end? Had she aimed to kill Tiamat all along?
