"That guy… I… I was just trying to…"
Reva Rain struggled to explain. Demonmir pressed his index finger against his lips, telling her to shut up.
"I just hope you don't become a liability for me, Reva. I really don't want that for both of our sakes. We have so much to do."
Cupping her face with both his hands, Demonmir caressed Reva Rain's cheeks. Reva felt comfort through Demonmir's caring gesture.
However, she knew something was wrong when Demonmir's hands stopped feeling gentle. He narrowed his eyes at her before making an insidious move.
Slap!
The sound of a crisp slap was heard on the battlefield. And for some reason, it had a reverberating effect that quieted down the surroundings.
Reva's Rain's cheek was slapped so hard by Demonmir that her facial epidermis came off and the flesh beneath it was mangled.
