260 Coming Into Terms

Malaka and Calina went stiff for a second. Didn't they just save Calina? How come they were killing her now? Of course, only the two kids thought like that. Seeing the two girls' confusion, Rean then explained.

"Well, I don't know what he's planning, but I believe that he wants you to disappear, am I right?"

Roan nodded.

"Yes. What I want is for others to think that you are dead. At the moment, I don't know just how many people want you dead, which will make things quite annoying to deal with.

Roan then continued.

"However, this Profound Abyss gave us an opportunity. As long as you don't leave this place, everyone will think that you died, especially after they notice that none of your guardians came out from it as well. That's simply perfect."
