Chapter 270: The Heart Never Lies

Arachne's interruption planted a seed of doubt in Fenrir's mind. Why now? Why call him stupid when he was clearly right? He saw it all — Noah letting Arachne consume a part of him, giving Ailetta not one but two orbs to strengthen her, and just moments ago, handing Eve a vial that changed her entirely. Yet he was the only one who received nothing.

Did she know something that he didn't? Or….

Fenrir's lips curled, his fangs briefly baring. A darker thought crept in. Was she trying to keep him weak? Was this her plan all along — to take his place as Noah's sole protector by ensuring he never grew stronger?

A faint glow in his eyes burned with bitter resentment at the thought, but he contained his rage, there was still a chance that he was in the wrong. 

"Noah gives us everything. Every one of us deserves to become stronger, even….her." Arachne's cold gaze never wavered under Fenrir's aggressive stare.
