The man observed Renee carefully, his gaze complicated and unreadable. He remained silent for quite a long time.
Terrified by his stare, Renee wrapped her clothes tighter around herself. "If I've offended you in the past, I'll apologize to you here. Tell me how I've offended you. I think we can figure out a solution. I'm sure I can do it."
"A solution?" the man snorted, his lips a sneer. "Do you think the dead can come back to life? If you think that's possible, we can figure out a solution."
"Does our grudge involve the dead?" Renee asked.
No matter how much she racked her brains, she couldn't for the life of her figure out when she had met this man. She recalled accepting a mission when she was young and reckless, when she needed to kill a drug lord in Southeast Aeos.
As an internationally top-ranked assassin, she hated murder the most. That, and she rarely got involved in such missions.
If her younger self had willingly accepted that kind of mission, however, then her enemy must be vile and heinous. She was just seeking justice for others and doing the right thing.
Renee wondered if the drug lord she tried to kill that year was part of this man's grudge. If she wasn't mistaken, the drug lord had been short and bald, and didn't resemble the man before her in the slightest. Perhaps this man wasn't the drug lord's relative.
"I don't have anything against you. It's your man I have a problem with. He had the love of my life killed, so I'm giving him a taste of his medicine. I don't think that's over the line."
The man frowned and glared at Leia coldly. "What kind of misunderstanding?"
"You're misinformed! Don't you know Stefan has divorced my friend? They aren't even married now! They don't love each other anymore. If you want to take revenge on him, you shouldn't use my friend. You should target his actual beloved instead!" Leia said quickly, her tone dripping with disdain for Stefan.
He was a complete and utter disaster for Renee. When they were still a couple, she suffered much for him. Even when they got separated, she still suffered because of him.
It was infuriating!
