Chapter 64: Assassination

“We are safe, we are finally safe,” I mumbled repeatedly to Pietro’s ear like I was trying to calm myself, not him.

Relief slowly washed over me now that Pericles had arrived to rescue us. However, it is still not yet the time to celebrate with all the attackers still here and we are all still stuck in the rooftop.

I pursed my quivering lips, my body still not had recovered from the trauma that they had caused us. My arms tightened around Pietro’s unmoving body protectively when I saw the man who injected poison on Pietro glance at us.

‘You won… only for now.” He seems to be trying to deliver that message through his eyes as he stares directly at me.

I returned his look with a fiery gaze. Now that Pericles had already arrived, there is nothing they can’t do to harm us.

Pericles have guns, they don’t have their own weapons.

They are already lost
