CHAPTER 575: CHAPTER 575: REMOVING HIS MASK (PART 1)

Raina North just realized that the once menacing assassin, previously relying on two guns, was now lying dead, beyond dead.

And she was completely unscathed, except for the shallow scratches from the shrapnel when bullets hit the floor earlier.

The Lord of the Dark Tower actually did protect her.

Raina was astonished in her heart; if she hadn’t repeatedly heard about the infamous reputation of this Lord of the Dark Tower, she might have thought he was some kind-hearted man with a beautiful soul.

Soon, Dante Drake walked over, kneeling on one knee: "I’m sorry for arriving late, my lord, please punish me."

The Lord of the Dark Tower said nothing, and Dante dared not move, just kneeling there obediently.

Raina noticed the firm, powerful force on her waist, possessing a restraining strength.

Raina felt extremely unhappy, even if the Lord of the Dark Tower had saved her life, that didn’t mean she would allow a strange man to hold her like this.

She furrowed her brows, preparing to scold him, but when she looked up, she was stunned.

From her current angle, she could just see the man’s exposed chin, skin delicate and taut, with beautiful lines, extraordinarily exquisite, and further up, the man’s face was covered by a silver mask.

An impulse suddenly surged in Raina’s heart, and she raised her hand towards the man’s face, wanting to see what kind of face was under the mask.

This has been the biggest secret and gossip in The Umbral Zone for years.

However, as soon as her fingertips touched the mask, the back of her hand was pressed down.

The Lord of the Dark Tower’s dark eyes flickered with a cold and sharp light, his thin lips uttering words filled with murderous intent: "Are you looking to die?"

"Why so excited, Lord of the Dark Tower? Is there a face you can’t show under that mask?" Raina said this, yet she knew that no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to take off the Lord of the Dark Tower’s mask today.

Raina felt a little regret but did not insist, anyway, she wasn’t that interested in what the face beneath the mask actually looked like.

She pushed away the man’s arm encircling her waist, pressed her palm against his chest, and slightly exerted force to leap up.

This should have been a swift and handsome move, but Raina didn’t notice when it happened; her clothes got tangled with the man’s buttons, and when she moved sharply, it ended tragically.

Raina fell back at a speed faster than before.

She crashed into the Lord of the Dark Tower, with her lips pressing towards the man’s thin lips; as she was about to kiss him, the Lord of the Dark Tower suddenly turned his head.

Raina’s lips kissed his silver mask on the face.

Raina felt it wasn’t romantic!

Damn!

It hurt so much, her whole mouth was filled with the taste of blood!

Bam—

The study door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

Corvus Hades stood at the door of the study, looking down at the two tangled together, his eyes filled with cold disdain, his voice icy: "Have you had enough? Do you need me to make room for you to continue?"

Raina was just about to tell this guy to shut up, couldn’t he see this was an accident caused by the assassination just now?

But thinking of this guy’s behavior, she quickly said, "Then thanks, please remember to close the door on your way out."

Then, she frantically winked at the Lord of the Dark Tower.

She didn’t know if she had lived too long in peace or what, but she always felt that the Lord of the Dark Tower wouldn’t really harm her.
