Chapter 304: We Will Be The Weirdest Couple
Seven Sins System Chapter 305. We Will Be The Weirdest Couple
For a few tense moments that felt like an eternity, we locked eyes in mutual hatred. Our bodies strained against the invisible restraints of fate, and our threats hung in the air like a bitter miasma. It was a stand-off.
But then, as abruptly as it had started, the confrontation ended. We simultaneously pulled our weapons back, retracting the deadly instruments that had poised to strike. Her sword vanished from her grip, disappearing into thin air, while my Wrath tentacles receded back into their dormant state, slipping back behind me.
In a final display of restraint, she canceled the protective barrier. It was a clear sign that she, too, had no interest in escalating the confrontation any further. The threads of fate that bound us, while still a tangible presence, seemed to relax slightly, acknowledging the de-escalation of our mutual aggression.
I glanced away from her, my gaze landing on the room's dimly lit corners. The silence hung heavy in the air, interrupted only by the distant sounds of the city outside.
With a weary sigh, I finally broke the silence. "It's not the right time to fight," I muttered, my voice laden with the fatigue of the situation. I knew that continuing our feud would only play into the hands of our unseen adversary.
She nodded in reluctant agreement, her gaze also averted. "Yeah," she murmured, her voice tinged with frustration. "The culprit wants us to kill each other. If we do it, it means they succeeded," she reminded me, echoing my earlier thoughts.
I offered a wry smile in response, a bitter acknowledgment of our shared predicament. "Yeah, I know," I admitted, my tone resigned. It wasn't easy to suppress the urge to engage in our usual clashes, the battles that had defined our rivalry for so long. But the stakes had never been higher, and we couldn't afford to play into our enemy's hands.
Her gaze, once filled with animosity, had softened into something resembling genuine intrigue. It was an unusual sight, to say the least.
"Anyway, do you know why the thread of fate suddenly appeared?" she asked, her voice laced with genuine curiosity. Her eyes briefly flicked towards me, waiting for a response.
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my mind racing to formulate an answer that wouldn't betray the secrets I harbored. The appearance of the thread of fate was undoubtedly linked to my long-forgotten memories, the memories that bound us in ways neither of us fully comprehended. But revealing this truth was not an option.
I couldn't help but scoff at her audacity. "If that's what you want, fine!" I snapped, my irritation bubbling to the surface. But of course, I knew the best way to get rid of her.
