Chapter 508 A Request
After settling the terms, Reign joined the group, and together they made their way back into the city.
The press was already there, cameras flashing, reporters shouting questions, and each burst of light seemed to follow their every step as they stood in front of the portal.
His sharp gaze flicked across the crowd, noticing the way the women looked at him—some with wide-eyed admiration, others with shy glances or open smiles.
The attention didn't go unnoticed by Anna, whose face tightened, her eyes narrowing as they trailed every stare directed his way.
A woman in the front row caught his eye, her lips curving into a flirtatious smile. Reign just looked past her, his expression barely flickering
But he could feel the shift in the air as Anna clenched her fists beside him. Her jaw tightened, and her gaze turned fierce, practically shooting daggers into anyone who dared look at him too long.
"Don't do it, " Reign commanded.
If he hadn't put a gentle but firm hand on her shoulder, she would have acted on the impulse and started massacring everyone.
"We have to travel through several portals before reaching the headquarters in the East," Elizabeth explained.
"I don't have a problem with that, but I need to talk to George first,"
"You want to talk to our father?" Anna asked, her eyes lighting up.
'Our father?'
Reign held back a sigh, barely keeping his face neutral. She was already set on making them a family.
"Yeah, I need a word with George before we leave," he replied, keeping his tone steady.
"Okay, just don't take too long," Anna responded with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. She was happy knowing that her father and boyfriend shared a close bond.
Reign, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh as he walked away.
He wished he could just tell Anna that her idea of their relationship was all in her head.
But judging by her personality, such honesty would only lead to endless trouble.
She was too obsessed with him, and any hint of denial from his part would likely provoke an emotional storm.
'She's already way stronger than I am, so I don't see how I pose any threat to her anymore.'

His mind raced as he considered the possibilities.
'Was it a personal vendetta?'
'No, that could not be it. If that were the case, she would have directly killed me'
Regardless of her reason, his priority now was to save the two.
This meant that he really needed to join the Alliance, as they were the only ones who had the manpower and resources to find her.
If he depended solely on himself, it could take ages to track down Lilith.
"I'm sorry, Reign," George apologized again.
"Stop," Reign interrupted, shaking his head. "This isn't on you. We both know you're pretty much useless in a fight. It's not like you have some hidden power or anything that could save them."
George could not help but let out a laugh, now convinced that he was really talking to the real deal. Only Reign could compliment and insult him at the same time.
"Just promise me that you won't tell anyone about those two—for your sake, and for your daughter." he added.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to do that. I know my daughter better than anyone," George sighed.
"Yeah, she's crazy," Reign said, shaking his head slightly.
"I know she's obsessed with you, Reign, and I realize you might not like her, but please don't kill her," George pleaded .
"She just acts like that because she really loves you. I'd bet my life that there's no one in this world who would love you as much as she does."
Reign's expression hardened at the mention of Anna's feelings.
Even a social outcast like him could see that her love for him were very real.
"I won't give you a promise, but I'll try not to hurt her...,"
