"If you had agreed to join us as a consultant back then, I would have protected you today, no matter who ca for you. But sadly, you are not one of us. Now, she can give double what you can offer. If I truly wanted sothing you possess, I’d simply team up with her to eliminate you. We’d get what we want without any trouble, and I believe she’d be more than happy to do that."
This seemingly joking remark laid bare a brutal truth; Tamara knew she had no bargaining chips.
"So, are you blaming for rejecting you back then?"
"No, you’re not important enough for to deliberately seek revenge on. You’re not the only one in the world who understands Mysticism; others could still help without you. I’m rely clarifying your current position."
Truth be told, it wasn’t really about revenge. After he left Totnes, he had even forgotten this person existed. Encountering her was just an odd twist of fate, but it didn’t interfere with his judgnt of the situation.
"I’ll give you money; let out early."
"Rules are rules. No amount of money will help," Lance said with a laugh as he stood up. There was nothing more to say. "At least you’re safe here."
Tamara waited until the iron door closed, then appeared sowhat dazed. If only I had agreed to him back then...
But then her thoughts turned agitated, and she couldn’t stop herself from complaining, "Who the hell knew you’d be so formidable! And now I’m in this ss because of you, you jerk!"
At this point, she had completely run out of options and just lay down on the bed in resignation.
After leaving, Lance didn’t go far but went straight to the cell where Amanda was detained.
When the iron door opened, the space was small, and he could see at a glance that she was lying on the bed, looking rather bored.
Yet, there was sothing intriguing about her posture; even in different clothes, her towering peaks were inescapable.
"Like what you see~?"
Amanda was unfazed, turning to look at him sideways.
As she moved, the mountains seed to tumble, drawing Lance’s gaze involuntarily. He felt an impulse to rush forward and support the leaning tower before it collapsed, until a muted thud as they landed on the bed roused him as if from a dream.
It was as the saying goes: "A mountain range from one angle, a peak from another; different in appearance from near or far, high or low." Lance certainly witnessed its truth today.
"Nothing special." Regaining his composure, Lance t Amanda’s teasing gaze without a hint of embarrassnt and walked over.
Tamara isn’t much of a threat, but this one... I’m not so sure. I can’t let my guard down just because she’s attractive. Soone grood by a large organization inherently cos with a significant background. Unless I plan to eliminate her for good, it’s better to avoid too much interaction; it’ll only cause trouble. A true man, born in chaotic tis, should strive for great achievents! How can I be swayed by re beauty and beco idle? Ultimately, the Old Ancestor is like a sword hanging over my head. I absolutely cannot let a woman cause complications and jeopardize the grand plan.
"I need to record your details and understand why you two fought," Lance said, his expression calm once more.
"Ask whatever you want. If I’m not mistaken, that Tamara woman must have told you about my situation and probably said a lot of bad things about ."
There was still a respect for power among Transcendents, and his reaction made Amanda adopt a considerably more serious deanor.
"Indeed. She explained the situation to in detail, and her assessnt of you wasn’t favorable. But our investigation can’t rely solely on one person’s account."
Lance raised his hand, signaling for Amanda to speak for herself. She sat up, and perhaps because she was no longer constrained by a bra, her chest undulated even more noticeably.
"Tamara stole a Sacred Object from us; that’s why we had to retrieve it. In fact, if she had returned the item earlier, no one would have cared whether she lived or died."
Just as I thought, her account is vastly different from Tamara’s. Amanda’s tone also seed to convey a strong disapproval of Tamara.
In Tamara’s version, she was the victim, oppressed and forced to flee.
But according to Amanda, Tamara was actually the one who started all the trouble.
