章節 161: He Can't Be Better Than Me

Rebecca gritted her teeth, doing her best to maintain composure as she met Asher's smiling gaze. Her voice was steady, though the underlying tension was palpable, "Everything is fine, Asher. I was simply attending to a few last-minute duties. I am sure you would understand it the best."

Rebecca's words were coated in civility, but her eyes held a storm that threatened to break free at any moment. She knew the game she had to play, but it didn't make it any easier to swallow her pride and hide the seething rage that threatened to consume her.

Asher could imagine how hard she was trying to contain herself and was beginning to feel satisfied upon seeing her like this, "Of course, I understand. So…shall we get to it now that we both are here?"

Rebecca, her gaze steely and unwavering, stepped forward and declared, "My batch will attempt the trial first." 

She gestured to her batch of five young demons, each one exuding confidence and determination.
