Chapter 760:
Lawrence hesitated. “Didn't Gerard already fill you in?”
“I want to know how | saved her life,” Kristian said, each word dropping with weight.
Lawrence met his gaze head-on, then lied without blinking. “I'm sorry, but | don’t know. When | found you, you
were already injured.”
“Lying isn’t good,” Kristian said, his tone darkening, danger flashing across his eyes.
“I know,” Lawrence answered evenly, his calm smile never faltering. “But | truly don’t know. Why don’t you ask
Freya? She should know better than anyone.”
Kristian let out a dry, almost mocking chuckle, his lips curling faintly. Lawrence furrowed his brows, struggling to
decipher what was running through Kristian’s mind.
“If 1 go and blatantly ask, wouldn't that just be broadcasting my intentions?” Kristian remarked, his tone laced

Kristian’s expression hardened, his mind crystal clear. “If she discovered that my mental faculties have returned

genuinely had no plans to stir the pot—at least not at the moment. “But bear this in mind: Freya despises deceit.
If she learns you've been playing her, she’ll cut you off for good.”
Kristian remained silent, his stoic facade barely concealing the flicker of concern that darted through his eyes.
“One last piece of advice,” Lawrence added with a stern tone. “We live in a lawful society. If you go around
hurting or killing people on purpose, it's a crime. You'd do well to control those reckless urges of yours.”

“I don’t need your reminders,” Kristian retorted, his voice cool and detached.
The two exchanged a few more words, their conversation winding down at last.
Gerard had been pacing anxiously outside. The moment he spotted Kristian emerging, he dashed over, his relief
palpable.
Lawrence gave him a brief nod, his tone dismissive. “I've relayed everything your boss needs to know,” he
stated flatly, sparing Gerard the usual runaround. “There's no need for concern. Just carry on as you were.”
Gerard paused, biting his lip. “Well...” he began, uncertainty clouding his features.
Lawrence arched an eyebrow. “What's on your mind?”
