The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 78

"Xena, don't think too much. Inferno is dead, and Chain Asura has taken his body to report back to the headquarters. He says that you deserved half of the credit. All you have to do now is to rest up." Rest?

Xena got out of bed straight away. Her mind became increasingly muddled.

Inferno was dead? And killed by Chain Asura? Impossible-she remembered everything clearly before she was struck.

Xena widened her eyes in shock immediately. "Y-You're saying that Felix was there, too?"

"Fighting all day in my house-how annoying!" The voice echoed in her mind. She remembered it clearly. Someone had said it before she lost consciousness that night. It sounded very much like Felix. "Yes! What a surprise to you, right? How daring of him!"

"Get out, both of you!" Xena spoke icily.
