Chapter 1747 A Bug

• However, the look in Nathaniel's eyes sparked uncontrollable defiance within me. A voice in my head repeatedly reminded me that I was looking at a demon and not a man. The difference between them lay in the fact that a man knew how to show mercy while a demon didn't, just like how a rat would never escape from the grasp of a cat.
