<p>Rhode was unfazed by Celia's ambush. In fact, he had expected this to happen because he knew that this Battle Angel was a serious and rigid person. Moreover, Rhode's method might not be accepted by other humans, not to mention a Battle Angel. Although Celestina had made a solemn vow to Rhode that Celia wouldn't harm him because of this matter, Rhode wasn't truly dumb enough to believe her. Even though Rhode considered that Celestina didn't lie to him, he also believed that she wasn't being exactly truthful. They might have a much closer relationship after getting along these past few days, but Rhode refused to believe that this cunning Demon young lady would trust himself that easily.</p>

<p>And it seemed like Rhode's thoughts were accurate.</p>
