Chapter 74 False Surrender

• Kiana continued after a brief pause, “Hugo proposing a truce was completely out of my expectations, but he also suggested that I join the organization he's in and commit the same crimes he did! My instincts were telling me to say no at first, but after giving it some consideration, I decided to pretend to join them! You and Helena showed up shortly after that. While I don't know about Helena's identity, I can tell that she's most likely a special forces agent like myself! Hugo told me all about her. He even warned me that Helena and Ulric would become ticking time bombs for us and began planning on how he would get rid of them. He found Melodia from The Unity and devised a perfect plan involving Samantha and the others that he had secretly trained in order to kill them both at the same time. You showing up was the only reason his plan was unsuccessful, Lord Empyrean. While I did not participate in this plan of his, I would've done all I could to stop Hugo if I knew Helena is your wife! Of course, Hugo probably wouldn't have dared try to kill her if he knew about her identity too. Here, I've told you everything. Do you have any questions, Lord Empyrean?”
• Kiana stared silently at Christopher after telling him the “truth,” feeling confident that he would surely believe her words.
• To her surprise, Christopher simply let out a chuckle and said coldly, “That's a nice story you came up with, but there are two flaws with it. Number one, I do believe that you're a special forces agent and a pretty high-ranking one at that. However, instead of informing your superiors immediately after failing your mission, you chose to join forces with your target? I doubt you were pretending to surrender. You surrendered for real, didn't you?
