After a moment, she raised her head and said, "Even so, I still want to meet him. I need to know the truth."
Ivy opened her mouth to argue, but Talia raised her hand to stop her. "Wait. I think… You already have a theory, right?"
Ivy nodded slowly. "Yes. If I am not wrong, your fiancé is already working with the Black Vultures. And not only them. He also has a connection with someone high in the military who supports them."
Talia's breath caught. Dante's face darkened. Silas's eyes sharpened like knives.
Talia gave a bitter laugh. "I thought so too. I just did not want to admit it. But since you said it, I cannot keep lying to myself."
Dante nodded firmly. "It makes sense. The timing is too suspicious. We just got this mission, and suddenly he wants to meet you outside the base. He wants you vulnerable."
Silas spoke coldly. "He dares to betray you like this? Then he is digging his own grave."
