Chapter 937 They Were Missing (1/2)

Agni breathed in heavily. It seemed that he was speaking to Darren. But Ariel, as his best student, knew without a doubt that Agni was speaking to her with these words. She could hear the sorrow and regret in his voice.

”So, do you regret that?” Darren asked with a smirk.

He pressed his lips moodily and his sharp eyes stared closely at Agni.

What Darren hated most was betrayal. Although Agni had not betrayed him, Darren still felt that remorse was also a kind of betrayal.

”Regret? No, I don't. If I had not done that, I would never have seen through my own heart... Hades, we are the same kind of people. We regard profit as the most important thing. But did you ever consider that we would one day, finally, pay for what we have done?”

Agni asked gently, and his eyes were sincere as they regarded Hades.

What had happened today was the price which Agni had to pay as he knew for sure that Ariel would come to find him. However, it was exactly this confidence and trust which made Agni finally realize what a terrible person he was. In the face of Ariel's devoted love for him, Agni had to own up to the fact that he really was not worthy of her love.

”Regard profit as the most important thing...”

Everything that Agni had said was like a knife stabbing into Ariel's heart. 'Agni, you are my master. You are my most venerable master!

Why? Why would you become such a person?

How could you sell me out for profit? Then was I always a tool for you to turn a profit? When I was young, Grant sold me to pay for his gambling debt! And now, my master had cheated me for profit, and even asked me to hurt my own sister!

Why?

What on earth did I do wrong to be cursed like this?' Ariel yelled in her mind.

Tears fell out of Ariel's eyes, and she barricaded her fragile heart. Weeping great torrents of agony, Ariel felt her tears splash down onto her hand, where they burned…

”What? Pay for it? It is they who should pay for everything! My elder brother died and I was barely lucky enough to escape from death. If I had not pretended that I was crippled, I would have suffered the same end as my own elder brother!” Darren stormed in frustration.
