From a squad of seniors with six porters, the group has now dwindled to one senior and five porters. Kai had already dealt with the two porters from the Aurelian Academy, making sure that they wouldn't speak of what happened to anyone.
Now, his remaining concern was Barbara.
Kai approached her without breaking eye contact and stopped a few steps away.
"What about you? Do you have a problem with what I did?"
"Pay me no mind, Lesser Angel. We still have our bet. It'd be a real shame if you couldn't even make it to the tournament. Besides, I'm not a monster. I would do the same thing you did had I known what the seniors were planning to do."
Both of them stared at each other for a prolonged moment.
Barbara retained eye contact out of pure dominance, while Kai retained his to see whether she was lying or not. He found she seemed to be telling the truth. Being a High Angel, though only for a short time, had elevated her ego.
