Chương 200: Grudge

At Cyrus' words, tension filled the room.

"No!" Sage exclaimed with a whisper and facepalmed herself while Katherine looked visibly disturbed.

"Why did you not say that before?" River threw a fit and seized Cyrus by the collar of his coat. "You enjoy deflating hopes, don't you?" He growled angrily, his eyes transforming into their golden reptile like form.

"Your grudge against me is deeply disturbing." Cyrus spoke bluntly, but it only served to inflame River's rage.

"Well, it's about time I showed you how strong my hatred for you is." He growled before releasing Cyrus and firmly punching his cheek.

"No, River!" Katherine yelled in shock and jumped out of the bed.

Cyrus winced inaudibly and turned his head to the side as blood poured from his nose, and at that same moment, Sage screamed loudly in pain, placing her trembling hand on her cheek.

Katherine gasped and turned to face Sage, who was also bleeding from the nose.
