“I’m fine.”
Tess smiled softly and nced at Jolie, whoy unconscious on the floor.
“Why did youe all of a sudden?”

“We just tracked down Jolie’s location and saw that she’d returned to Aetheris. I was worried she’d find out you were okay and might try to hurt you again, so I hurried over to warn you first.”
Connor offered a small smile, his voice warm and easy.
“Looks like that won’t be necessary now.”
Marc hunched his shoulders. The image of Raven “in action” shed through his mind, and his body shuddered without him noticing.
<i>She’s </i><i>terrifying</i><i>! </i>
<i>You </i><i>really </i><i>can’t </i><i>judge </i><i>a </i><i>woman </i><i>by </i><i>her </i><i>looks</i><i>. </i>
Marc was honestly starting to regret all those times he’d mouthed off at Raven.
Connor also lowered his eyes to nce at Jolie, whose face had swollen beyond recognition. Even with all his experience, his brow still twitched.
<i>That</i>… <i>really </i><i>was </i><i>brutal</i>.
“If I’m not mistaken, she must be mixed–race too.”
Tess lifted her eyes and looked at Steven.
“Yes. Her mother’s from Crorus, and her father’s from Yeshana. She took her mother’sst name.”
Steven nodded, staring at Jolie on the floor. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Guilt washed over him at once.
“Tess, I’m sorry. This is my fault. I didn’t handle my private affairs properly. I never thought it would cause you this much trouble, or nearly cost you your life.”
He lowered his head. Strands of hair fell over his eyes.
If Jolie had really seeded in hurting Tess because of him, he’d never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
“This has nothing to do with you. Some people go crazy, and you can’t control that.”
Tess shook her head gently tofort him.

But Abel curled his lip and finally seized the chance to be sarcastic. “Come on, this started because you didn’t clean up your circle and made the wrong people fall for you. And now Tess gets caught in it.”
As soon as he said that, Tess shot him a re.
<i>He </i><i>just </i><i>has </i><i>to </i><i>stir </i><i>things </i><i>up </i><i>when </i><i>it’s </i><i>already </i><i>bad </i><i>enough</i>.
Abel instantly looked offended. His lips drooped, and his eyes grew watery.
He’d been so cocky just a moment ago, and now, he looked pitiful.
Tess suddenly felt exhausted. Everyone in this room was a headache to deal with.
This time, even after Abel’s sarcasm, Steven didn’t snap back like before.
He just kept his head down. “You’re right.”
Abe’s eyes went wide. He even forgot to keep ying the victim.
<i>Well</i><i>, </i><i>that’s </i><i>a </i><i>first. </i>
“Enough.”
Tess rubbed her temples to stop them. Just then, Raven came back shouting, with doctors and nurses pushing a stretcher.
“Yeah, that one. I did it.”
She pointed at Jolie on the floor.
Seeing another person there, lookingpletely unrecognizable, the doctors and nurses froze in shock. But soon, the confusion vanished and was reced by frantic motion.
They rushed to lift Jolie up. One of the doctors examined her and, after finding only surface injuries, finally let out a breath.
Raven let out a cold snort.
She’d learned somebat skills. It looked brutal, and Jolie definitely suffered, but there wasn’t anysting damage.
The doctors and nurses took Jolie away. Raven casually plopped down on the small couch and started munching on an apple.
“So you’re from Fregaria?”
Now that things had finally calmed down, Tess remembered to ask.
Raven stroked her chin. “L and I grew up together, and we’ve always lived abroad. Of course, I’m a foreigner.

<i>A </i><i>foreigner </i><i>saying </i>she’s a <i>foreigner</i><i>… </i><i>Tess’s </i><i>brow </i>twitched. Somehow, it sounded weird.
“The Reagens seem pretty powerful. You hurt her badly. What are you going to do about it?”
“What am I going to do? I’m an orphan. Worst case, she can crush me with the Reagens‘ power.
Raven shrugged, totally unconcerned.

Tess felt helpless and a little angry. She was mad that Raven cared so little about her own safety and rushed in without thinking, just to stand up for her.
“I’ll handle this.” Tess reached out and grabbed Raven’s hand. “But next time, you can’t be this reckless again.”
Raven just grinned and brushed it off with a joke.
If <i>there </i>were <i>a </i>next time, <i>I’d </i><i>still </i><i>do </i>it.
Tess could see right through her and rubbed her forehead helplessly. Still, she knew Raven did it for her, and that made her heart feel warm.
“Jolie’s an only child. Her family’s always spoiled her rotten. That’s why they went all out to shove her into the institute to work with me.”
Steven suddenly spoke up during the lull. “When her family hears that she’s been badly injured, they’ll probably rush to Aetheris soon.”
Back to business. Tess’s expression turned serious.
She pressed her lips together. “Where are the Reagens mainly based? About how big is theirpany?”
Steven frowned.
He only knew that the Reagens were influential, and Jolie’s father held a high position in the scientific world. That was why she’d grown up so arrogant, destroying anything she couldn’t have.
