Anna covered her mouth, feeling incredulous.
"Why? How can you be such a disaster?"
Mephit didn't answer. She triggered the curse, and a silvery-white shimmer ran down her hair, the silvery moonlight emerging from her eyes. Her skin turned as pure white as jade, her features becoming as stunningly beautiful as a celestial being.
Anna recognized her at once.
"The Ominous one! You are the Ominous one!"
Instinctively, she flinched, trying to shake Mephit off, but Rod stopped her.
"Don't do that."
Rod barked.
"She is also one of my best partners. The partner of a partner is a partner."
"But she..."
Rod said sternly,"Anna, if you trust me, then you should trust her, don't believe the rumors."
Over time, one victory after another had deeply embedded Rod's authority in people's hearts.
And for Anna, the memories of fighting side by side with Rod had become the most sacred recollections at the bottom of her heart.
