Bait

In the distance, Count Wiley shivered when he felt his gaze.

Dean, running beside him, noticed this and asked in a whisper, "He is looking?"

Wiley silently nodded, which put a subtle smile on Dean's face.

"That's good."

Wiley just gave him an indifferent look, but inwardly, he was seething.

'Of course, you would say that. If something goes wrong, I would be the one to die, after all.'

'And this bastard… maybe I should've ignored the Royal family and killed Ashton and his family. If I had, he wouldn't be here today to kill me.'

While he cursed his luck, Max's eyes flashed when he noticed the short exchange of words between them with his bloodline sense.

He hadn't used it in the plaza, fearing Verana and other Emperor Magus might notice it, but now, Alton was busy leading the way while Wyomin wasn't paying any of them any attention, so he had less inhibitions and had used it when he glanced at Wiley.
