Chapter 555 Expecting

"I never thought you'd be willing to sink so low. I tried to help you, but you wouldn't even entertain my offer. Now, you're even trying to teach me a lesson? Lana, you're really a lost cause."

Lana's eyes were filled with determination. "I'm willing to lay down my life for my country."

"You're just a small fry," Adrian said bluntly. "Even if I were to do something to your country, you wouldn't stand a chance."

"You're welcome to try," Lana said, unfazed by Adrian's unmasked self.

She continued, "I believe in Zantelians. Even if I cannot resist Balany alone, there are still countless others with me. Adrian, your schemes will fail, and you will be remembered as a disgrace."

Adrian burst into laughter again. "If we're not on the same page, then there's no point in talking anymore. Lana, I'll be waiting for you to come groveling."

"Hold on!" Lana called out to him.
