Wayne dropped the bomb. Ethan could feel the swift change of emotion in Olivia as he squeezed her hand.
"Friend? I don't recall her having friends in Raka," Ethan replied calmly.
She regained her composure. Even if Undecim was in Wayne's hands, betraying the organization was a big taboo in the line.
Low-rank assassins might blurt out information under the pressure of threats, but Undecim was an S-rank.
There was no way he wouldn't keep his lips tightly sealed.
Well, she might've overestimated him, but he didn't know her true identity this whole time. She was cautious.
They were partners twice for missions. Friends? They didn't come as close as that.
Thus, how would Undecim know her relationship with Ethan?
Olivia guessed that Wayne was playing a trick with her.
In addition to Ophelia's MIA, Olivia's appearance alone was suspicious enough.
As long as she boarded the plane, there was no second chance for Wayne to turn the table anymore.
This was his last-ditch effort.
As an afterthought, she finally managed to hold her ground.
"Mr. Maxwell, are you referring to Alan? This is my first visit to Raka. I am grateful that he kept me company the whole day."
Wayne didn't miss the nuance in her expression, but there was nothing out of particular.
"No. I'm referring to an assassin with the codename Undecim," he coldly announced.
"He pointed you as his accomplice."
Ethan smirked. "Accomplice? I wonder what my wife did that she suddenly became someone's accomplice.
"Wayne Maxwell, you better get your facts right. The truce agreement is signed, but we can breach it one-sidedly!"
Their heights were similar, but Ethan now stood taller than Wayne because he was standing on a platform.
She calmed herself down, and her smile gave way to solemnity.
"Mr. Maxwell, I'm sorry that such an incident is happening in your country. But you can't just accuse me of being a thief.
"Do you have evidence and witness? Where's the person with the codename Undecim? And where's the ring?
"I just don't get it. Why would I steal a ring from you? Our countries just signed the truce agreement, didn't we? Why would I provoke war again?"
As Wayne had expected, she was not an easy target to be taken down.
He retorted, "Here's the evidence. Why? Are you afraid of proving your true identity?"
Someone chimed in from behind.
"Proving her identity? This must be a joke. Why must we, the Heaths, prove ourselves to you?"
Olivia's body went stiff at that. Linus strode in his military uniform, giving off pressure to the others with his overpowering aura.
