---- Chapter 272 All my senses go up on high alert as my mind screams danger, my right hand glides to grip my dagger rooted in my waist while my left hand pushes on the mask on my face.

Icant risk revealing my identity.

To him? Never.

What? Nothing to justify? I thought your mouth would be sharper than your sword.

What a shame.

He gets up to his full height to approach me and my grip on my dagger tightens.

He is instigating me to speak.

A tricking shrewd bastard.

T refuse to fall into his trap.

Holding my stance T look into his green eyes and I find them already staring ---- eee back at me He was smirking, staring me from to toe.

He was very strong.

The strongest person I have ever faught in my life.

His every blow sent vibrations down to my hands and.

Tam not as strong as him.

There was no doubt in it.

Tle was like a raging bull who would destroy whatever that comes in its way.
