Capítulo 258: If worst comes to worse [Bonus Chapter]

'Dark Operative of the Black Hand Syndicate - Selene the Seductress....' Adrian muttered in his mind, looking at the masked Selene. 'Though she will gain this title in the future after becoming The Left Hand, only third to The Right Hand and the founder - Black Hand.'

"Are you confused why you're tied up and unable to speak?" Selene chuckled. "Hey, don't look at me like that. You helped me to 'find' the herb, and I helped you to reunite with your friend. We both fulfilled our parts of the deal."

Adrian's eyes narrowed, feigning anger and frustration. He needed to play his role convincingly to avoid suspicion.

Selene leaned closer, her eyes glittering with amusement behind her mask. "Turn to your left," she commanded with a smirk.

Adrian turned hurriedly to his left, and his gaze met Rhea's. The elf girl was looking at him with a surprised and confused expression.
