“You’re reckless.”
Bjorne shook his head before swiftly and effortlessly broke the lead assassin’s neck.
He had already gotten the answer he was looking for from him, so he no longer needed him alive. Still, his expression grew solemn.
The lead assassin’s final words left Bjorne feeling troubled.
The so-called the Order of the Reverence was an overseas branch of the Order of the Solar Temple. He did not expect that he would coincidentally encounter the Order of the Solar Temple twice in a row.
He hastily returned with the lead assassin’s corpse, throwing the body toward Prince William as he nonchalantly said, “Call up the royal family so they can come and deal with this.”
Upon saying that, he prepared to leave.
He had already completed the task so it was unnecessary for him to stay.
Prince William was startled by Bjorne’s sudden appearance and was terrified by the sight of the corpses covering the ground. He was very anxious and looked at Bjorne with a different gaze.
The loathing and contempt he had before were gone and in their place were intense fear and respect.
He could not help but behave in such a manner because the abilities he had seen Bjorne display earlier were terrifying. The Rheasian had actually killed such powerful and ferocious assassins.
Alice was shocked because she had never encountered a man as powerful as Bjorne in her life. Moreover, he saved her.
Had Bjorne not come to their rescue, she would have already been abducted. There was no telling what would have happened to her after that.
Noticing that Bjorne was about to leave, she anxiously called out, “Hold on!”
Turning around, Bjorne looked toward Alice and asked, “How can I help you?”
As she gazed into Bjorne’s eyes, Alice felt as if her entire person had been enchanted by him and her heart was racing beyond her control.
She was surprised to find herself lovestruck.
Her face blushed while her lips moved, and she finally gathered up enough courage to say, “Thank you very much for saving my life earlier, Ishac.”
Bjorne cracked a smile, waved his hand dismissively and said with an easygoing tone, “You’re welcome. We were destined to go through this.”
Destined…
Alice was half Rheasian so it was something that she longed for. Destiny was seen as something wonderful to many women.
To Alice, she thought of destiny as something that brought couples together.
She had been betrothed to Prince William since she was very young, and as a result, she was highly disdainful of the notion of marriage.
In the depths of her heart, she had always yearned for a Prince Charming to show up in her life and take her away. She wanted him to save her from the marriage and the life it would lead to!
She found the idea to be very romantic.
The truth was, Bjorne matched the profile of her Prince Charming perfectly.
She mustered the courage to ask, “Where are you going, Bjorne?”
Bjorne smiled and said nonchalantly, “I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to keep you company anymore. Goodbye.”
