"Oops", Alden said. "Guess dinner didn't sit well with her."
Alden smirked.
He didn't flinch. Didn't blink.
Just smiled faintly as Zelle collapsed to the ground in a lifeless heap.
Why would he hesitate?
Especially with someone who wanted to kill him.
She had tried to kill him first.
And in this world, that was all the justification he needed.
He glanced down at her disbelieving expression—wide eyes, mouth slightly parted in confusion, as if death itself had taken her by surprise.
Then he wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand.
One down.
His plan was simple, cold and efficient.
Neutralise Zelle or Mira first.
Those two posed the most threat if allowed to fight together.
So when he saw Zelle closing in on him.
He used that opportunity to take her down with surprise.
Then he looked at others.
Four more to go.
His gaze shifted.
I'll keep one alive for interrogation and kill others.
