Jaegel’s fury

Liam clicked his tongue in irritation.

Jaegel was ugly—not just physically, but in every possible way.

His disgusting appearance was one thing, but his personality made it worse. He was the type of person whose very existence repulsed him.

Liam had met another heretic before—Evangeline.

But unlike Jaegel, Eva was still beautiful. Her appearance and even the way she carried herself made it easy to forget she was one of them.

But Jaegel?

Everything about him was rotten. From the way he looked to the way he acted.

Still—

Liam knew that now wasn't the time to think about such meaningless things.

There were more pressing matters at hand.

He had already lost sight of Emma, Lela, and Cynthia the moment he stepped into the dark cave.

And the only one who had the answers was standing right in front of him.

So, without missing a beat—

He spoke again.

"Where did you take them?"
