Chapter 166: HAPPY NEW YEAR _

Kratos and Abornim exited their room early in the morning, with Rose trailing behind them.

Rose marveled at the luxurious building, her eyes lingering on the intricate designs and expensive materials. Here, even the cheapest items were worth hundreds of dollars.

The moment they stepped outside, Rose made a break for it.

"Can I bother you for a moment?" Kratos asked Abornim casually.

Abornim nodded and disappeared.

Moments later, he reappeared, holding a struggling Rose by her arm.

"Hey! Not cool!" Rose protested, baring her teeth in frustration.

With a sly smile, Abornim dropped her unceremoniously to the ground. Kratos stepped forward, towering over her.

"Make our journey easier and cooperate, okay?" he said, his voice calm but menacing.

Up close, Kratos was terrifying. His aura was overwhelming, and Rose couldn't help but nod frantically, her head bobbing like a duck.
