Chapter 2099 Turn the Tables

"Look, you're the one who lured me into this mess!" Roselynn masked her discomfort over being tricked by using a playful tone. "Me?" Emmanuel pointed to himself, the picture of innocence. "That scoundrel Gautier faked his death, used AI to copy your voice, and somehow knew everything about my situation. I bought it completely, never guessing he was alive. Who’d have guessed he’d go to such lengths just to get his hands on the second half of the Dragon Tome?" She sighed, frustration clear in her voice. If I’d known the Dragon Tome would cause this much hassle, I’d have never laid eyes on it! "So, did you recite it for him?" Emmanuel asked, watching her closely. "As if!" She smirked with a hint of pride. "If I had, do you really think I'd still be standing here?" She understood the stakes well enough—these people were desperate for the Dragon Tome, and they definitely wouldn’t want the secret spreading. And the moment they’d wrung her dry, she’d be nothing but a loose end to tie up. Emmanuel chuckled. "Roselynn, you really have a sharp mind! But since they went through all that trouble to bring you in, maybe you should’ve tossed them a little something to keep them busy!"
