Chương 163: The last meeting 2

"Your obsession with taking what wasn't yours... it's destroyed you, Arjan," Raven spoke with a quiet yet cold voice.

his eyes narrowed as he looked at her. The words hung in the stale air of the prison, echoing off the stone walls.

Arjan flinched at his words, but her face twisted, still clinging to some shred of defiance. "Destroyed? No... I just wanted what was rightfully mine." Her voice cracked, the confidence in her words beginning to falter, but still trying to stand tall.

Raven's gaze softened, not in empathy, but in pity.
