Every time Alina would take into consideration Kirigan, each time her hatred in direction of him boiled to the highest, Alina stored the bond energetic.

The similar went for each time Kirigan considered her, however he doubtlessly knew that and was doing it on objective.

Alina tried to interrupt the bond between the 2, purposefully put herself into the bond, managed herself all through the projection, and manipulated Kirigan.

The Crows found out the sword’s location inside Shu Han, however issues did not go as deliberate as soon as they enacted their plan to steal it.

They acquired trapped contained in the collector’s (the individual they’re stealing from) house, with doubtlessly lethal fuel pumped into the room.
