TAUNTING THE BEAST

After settling her business with Pietro, Evelyn left the auction house with Giselle and Fritz. They rode their carriage back to the bustling main street of Portos.

However, for some reason, Evelyn disembarked the carriage once they reached a big intersection, where one of the Yellowfin thugs already awaited them with a horse.

"My lady, are you certain this is a good idea?" asked Giselle with a worried expression.

"It's not too late for you to apologize to the countess, my lady." said Fritz.

Evelyn only smiled to their concerns.

"Hand me the items I won from the countess and the magical orbs from Taman." asked Evelyn.

After being handed those things, Evelyn got up on the horse the Yellowfin thug brought.

"I'm leaving Giselle in your care, Mr. Luslec." said Evelyn as she settled herself on the horse. "Anything happens to her, I'll hunt you down."
