"Who are you?" Celeste questioned as she unsheathed the glowing white sword that was on top of the kitchen counter and pointed it at him.
Since she didn't recognize who this man was, she was certain that he wasn't one of her allies coming after Eric, but rather someone who was after her instead.
"You don't need to know who I am. The only thing you need to know is that I've been trying to find you for a very... very long time." The man smirked as he moved toward the couch and sat down as if he were in his own home. "And now you've also saved me the trouble by being in an optimal location where I can kill you in peace without having to worry about drawing too much attention from the general public, and for that, I thank you."
Hearing this, Celeste didn't reply back immediately, but still kept her guard up, not letting the man's relaxed demeanor affect her whatsoever.
After all, she couldn't afford to, even for just a little bit.
