"The second option… We kill this girl and erase all future problems."
For a moment, Evan's expression froze upon hearing Anastasia's suggestion. However, as he thought deeply about her words, he realized she wasn't making a casual suggestion but instead presenting the only two realistic options available to him.
Even if he chose not to kill Valery, her weak source would eventually lead to her death. On the other hand, if he decided to save her, the only way was to follow Anastasia's first suggestion: kill Winterclaw and help Valery absorb his source.
In the end, whether he wanted it or not, these were his only two choices. Either let Valery die or kill Winterclaw so that she could absorb his source and complete her evolution.
Evan took a deep breath. Before deciding anything, he turned to Anastasia and asked a question that weighed heavily on his mind.
