After the call ended, she tilted her head toward Jeremy in a "put it back" gesture.
He shoved the phone into her pocket with all the grace of someone disposing of a live grenade, then immediately retreated three steps. But instead of returning to Sylas, Jeremy positioned himself closer to Everly this time—close enough to intervene if needed, far enough to avoid her chaos radius.
"Who's coming?"
Everly's grin turned absolutely feral. "Just wait a few minutes and you'll see~♡"
Since they had time to kill anyway, Everly figured she might as well read this assasin's secret. The system had already triggered earlier when the assassin grabbed her hand, and now with the woman pinned beneath her in a chokehold, Everly could finally read the floating screen without craning her neck awkwardly upward like usual.
She glanced down. A transparent screen materialized above the oxygen-deprived assassin's head.
