Chapter 442 Key 3
"Worth more than your life?" she teased, her tone playful and charming all at once.
The man in front of her, couldn't help but take another glance, appreciating her beauty.
She was on a level beyond most humans—ironic, considering she wasn't even human.
"My name is Nero," the man introduced himself, his voice calm and confident. "You might've already figured it out, but I'm not really from around here."
"I know. You're from the East, right?"
"Smart guess," he said with a small smile. "I didn't think it would be that obvious."
Lilith giggled, picking up on his sarcasm. "Please, anyone with eyes would know you're not from around her."
Nero's smile widened slightly, "Well, I'll take that as a compliment. Standing out isn't always bad. I got to meet you because you're pretty hard to miss yourself."
Lilith raised an eyebrow, amused. "Flattery, huh? Don't think it's going to work on me."
"I won't lose anything by trying," he replied smoothly, not missing a beat.
She couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, momentarily taken aback by his boldness
"You must really like danger, then . But be careful what you wish for. You might just find yourself in over your head."
"Is that a warning or an invitation?" he teased.
"A warning," a voice echoed from across the room.
Another man stepped into view, drawing attention with his unique white hair and bright blue eyes. The newcomer was no slouch either; in fact, one might even say he was more attractive.
And Lilith could vouch for that, as her heart beat faster this time around.
'What is happening? Since when did this city become a hub for pretty boys?' she muttered to herself, taking a sip of her wine to calm her racing emotions.
Even a devil like herself had to admit that the two were gorgeous in their own way.
But as their shoulders collided, it felt like he had slammed into a solid wall.
Reign stood his ground, unflinching. He shot Nero a cold smile. "You better check your eyesight. I think you're already going blind,"
Tension crackled in the air as the two men locked eyes again, neither willing to back down.
"Nero, I said stop!" the dark haired woman interjected again.
Nero clicked his tongue in irritation but didn't escalate the issue further.
Meanwhile, Lilith couldn't help but feel a little shocked by Reign's actions. She knew he didn't do it because he liked her—his personality was too detached and evil for that type of thing.
But the way he had effortlessly asserted dominance over Nero, all without raising his voice or beating the shit out of him, was unexpected and captivating at the same time.
There was something very sexy about it that made her think that Reign could actually be cool sometimes.
'Not good. I can't believe I'm having these kinds of thoughts about a psycho like him. ' She shook her head, reminding herself not to be swayed by appearances.
'Well, at least now I know how he got Celine to fall for him.'
Looking at him, she saw he had already settled into his chair, casually waiting .
"I didn't know you had a humanoid body," she broke the silence.
"Well, figures. I never told you I have one,"
'This guy...' she forced a smile.
This was the Reign she remembered—rude and anti-social.
She took a deep breath before speaking. It was clear that he didn't want to talk about his new appearance at all.
"Alright, back to business . We need to discuss the key's location and the best way to get to it without drawing too much attention."
"Just tell me what I have to do. No need to bother with the small details; it's not like the Capitol has a lot of security," he said, letting out a bored sigh as he glanced at the window.
