Chapter 278: Leading the wolf in

"Who knew such a strong person was hiding inside." Avilia sighed, pretending as if she had just survived a calamity. "Good thing I dodged in time or I would've been killed."

"Yeah. Who knew. If I had known, I never would've sent you first," Gabriel agreed. "Still it's good. After you dodged, I got the opportunity to deal with his attack. I should thank you."

Both of them knew that the other person knew what they were thinking, but none of them outright accepted it. 

"Now that you've killed the Guardian of Arecia, what's your next plan? Reveal this news to the citizens?" The young Priestess inquired. If Gabriel went out now, he could use the Duke as a witness to claim that he was attacked and he already had the Saint Knight's body as evidence.
