Chapter 158: The Traitor’s Identity

"What's wrong? Are you afraid people will find out how you planned to bring down the Greensmiths?" I asked, recalling the video I had seen.

Simon wasn't able to answer.

I smirked. "How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine?"

His agreement with the Greensmiths and our contract were the same. He was willing to betray their trust for his political ambitions, and I was willing to break our deal for personal reasons. If I was going down, I'd take him and Azrael with me.

"Remember our bloody contract," he said, and I grinned.

I knew it. That was always his go-to threat. He thought he had me trapped by my promise-my life in exchange for my mother's safety.

But I had already planned my escape. Soon, I would get Mom away from him.

"No one can kill me because I'm the only one who knows the card's location," I said firmly. "And if she dies, I'll kill myself."

"No. You won't," Simon said-as if he was trying to convince himself.

I leaned my face toward him, a devilish smirk escaping from my lips. "Yes, I will."

After that, I walked out of his office.

Some members were about to greet me, but when they saw I wasn't in the mood, they silently returned to their tasks.

Fuck it. If I had known he would treat me like that, I wouldn't have come.

To release my frustration, I headed to the training room to clear my mind and make a quick call to Finnick.

"Are you there already?" I asked as soon as Finnick answered the call.

But I didn't need his reply anymore upon hearing Chiara giggling on the other line.

"It feels nice to be back, Mommy!" she said cheerfully. "Promise me that you and Daddy will follow us here, okay?"
