Tia could feel the man wasn't retaliating against her purposefully. That little moment was enough for her to see the spectators standing at the door.
She gulped nervously when her eyes met Dax's. His eyebrows were high, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking. Then, her gaze shifted to Aarvi, who was standing between two brothers with the same unemotional expression.
The man who pretended to attack her was Alex. Alex effortlessly got off her hands as he walked away from Tia.
Tia bit her inner lips hard, feeling guilty. For three years, all they were able to gather was the information of peddlers and their location. She believed it's a waste waiting for the mastermind to show up from the darkness.
Hence she was forcing Clark to take control of them and put an end to the secret mission so that she could tell these three about her identity, especially Dax and his parents, who had treated her genuinely.
We will back at Leon soon.
Much Love,
