Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 191 Threats

Violeta finally understood what Nydia had mentioned before. She initially thought Nydia was overthinking, but it turned out she was spot on.

Grace and her crew couldn't do much about it.

But Nydia and Hazel would still have to mingle in this circle in the future.

A bit of behind-the-scenes manipulation to target them would be a piece of cake.

Grace's face instantly darkened.

"We all know how high your standards are for apprentices. We just want to see for ourselves, right everyone?"
