Chapter 2202 - Help1 (2/2)

However, there was that smile again. That irritating smile she wanted to tear apart with her bȧrė hands.

Whenever she lashed out like this, he'd always return that smile to her. It was filled with love and understanding, as though he'd take whatever she dished out without complaint. It was the kind of smile she could rely on, the kind that was unconditional…

So why did she hate it so much?

”Why did you call me here?” Lilith said through gritted teeth. ”This place is incredibly dangerous. If any of those beasts start to find us more interesting than their opponents, we're dead.”

Junior smiled. ”I won't let anything happen to you, don't worry… As for why I called you here… It's to discuss a few things.”

Lilith's brow furrowed. This was the first time Junior had taken such a serious tone with her.

They had been 'married' for more than half a decade now, yet they could hardly be called husband and wife. They were more like bully and victim. Plus, considering marriage in the martial world was sealed by fusing two souls as one, they weren't even really husband and wife, they were only so in name.

Still, in all this time, not once had Junior ever taken such a tone with her, not even when she vented all of her rage on him.

”What is it?” Her voice became decidedly weaker, unbeknownst to herself.

For some reason, Lilith worried that Junior would get rid of her, even divorcing her. Some part of her felt that she deserved it, it wasn't as though she had been a good wife. Not only did she not support Junior as a wife should, she brought his quality of life down.

However, the sudden thought made her realize that she felt an inexplicable attachment to Junior.

It was then she thought of something… If it was someone other than Junior, would she be able to sneer at him for being a eunuch? Or would she be breathing a sigh of relief that he never tried to bed her?

What was it about Junior? Was it because he was related to that man that she felt more comfortable with that idea…? That she didn't feel the same disgust she had toward Sokzac? Just what was it…?

”It's about time I tell you the truth.” Junior turned away from Lilith as though he couldn't bear to see her at the moment.

”I am not Dyon's son. He and I are one in the same. He is I, and I am him. I am a clone created by his soul and infused into the skeleton of one who once wielded the Death God Constitution.”

Lilith stood frozen in the dark red fog of Chaos Universe. It was as though she had been struck by a lightning bolt.
