Chapter 177 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [27] (1/2)

177. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [27]

I turned a sharp glare towards Zack, who proposed to cooperate.

「You kidnapped Ria… and you want me to believe you?」

Around August of last year, he abducted Ria and confined her.

He seems to be sheltering us for some reason now, but he’s not someone you can trust so easily.

「Zahaha! What an oppressive, cold, fearsome bloodlust! In the small time since we last met, you seem to have gone through a lot of fierce battles!」

Zack put on a belligerent smile, and replied with his own sharp glare.

And then, just when the atmosphere between us was reaching critical point,

「I think it will be okay.」

「Ri, Ria…!?」

An unexpected person defended Zack.

「Listen, Allen. When I was confined in the Phantom Spirit Laboratory with both hands and feet restrained, there was a researcher who… tried to do strange things to me.」

「…What?!」

This is the first I’m hearing of it.

(Strange things,” she says?)

Judging from her hesitation to say it, I’m sure he was trying to misbehave with her.

(To humiliate Ria who was bound… What nerve!!!)

As blood rushed to my head, murky darkness began to creep out of my body.
