章 95: Her Ghost

Nikolai told Lex that he will have to think about it for now, and the Gunmaster gave him the time he needed to do so. It was indeed a difficult decision to make since Nikolai trusted only Sergio from the three.

Until now, he didn't trust Yuxi at all. He knew better than letting appearances deceive him, so he was prepared for the day her act slips and he finds out her true intentions.

She might not harm them now, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't hurt them in the future. Nikolai was sure that Sergio would never do such a thing, but was that the case for the archer?

As long as Nikolai didn't know the answer to that, he still wouldn't trust her. Of course, Sergio might see him as too cynical, and the archer might hate him, but some things had to be done.

He waited until Lex left before he went into his room in the pavilion, telling the others he was tired. Nikolai took off his headband after being alone at long last and making sure that he wasn't monitored.
