Chapter 228: THE DEVIL KING

"Pathetic," Caspian murmured, toeing the corpse of an ISSD trooper aside. "All this security... for me?"

A low chuckle rumbled in his chest.

Then—

A whisper of movement.

A shift in the air pressure.

Caspian's head snapped up.

"Finally."

She stood at the corridor's end.

Circe.

The woman who had caged him.

Caspian's lips curled into a feral grin. "Ah. You."

Circe showed no reaction.

"You remember me," she observed.

Caspian exhaled sharply, rolling his shoulders. "Hard to forget the bitch who stuffed me in a cage."

Circe's fingers twitched. The air around her warped, reality itself bending to her will.

"You were a rabid dog," she said, her voice colder than space. "I put you down."

Caspian threw back his head and laughed. "And now I'm back."

"Not for long."

She moved.
