Ch 167: True trouble [pt2]

Shizue felt a shiver go down her spine as soon as she heard Yohan’s words. His certainty made her feel weak and agitated. She could see in Yohan’s eyes that he was not even a bit bothered by Shizue’s attempts to capture him.

“Y-You can’t intimidate me like this. You should rot in here until I say that it is alright for you to be let out. But by the time you are let out, the race to get the central cord would be long over.”

Shizue was sure she would be able to keep Yohan in for a week at least. She might have to use every available favor and then some, but she would see it through.
