Raiden sneered with contempt, “Save your excuses for someone else! You once accused Bernard of betrayal.
What about you?” “Wolf.” “Don’t callWolf!” Raiden’s eyes blazed with fury as he cut Estelle off, “Wolf is dead, and you don’t have the right to use that nanymore!” Xavier's voice was ice as he interjected, “Her nis Stella, and we are teammates, always have been. How is she not worthy?” “Don’t ask me!” Raiden’s face twisted with anger, “You should be asking Tyrannosaurus, asking Bat, asking Shadow if they can forgive her!” “It wasn't her fault!” Xavier's voice was deep and resolute, “She knew nothing!” “Knew nothing?” Raiden mocked bitterly, “Then why did she survive? How did she manage to break free from the organization and transform into the darling daughter of the Jarvis family, and married into the Lamonts, living a life of luxury? All that, bought with the blood of Tyrannosaurus and the others, while she basks in it without a shred of guilt!” Xavier's eyes were livid, “So, you hate Stella for having a good life these past years?” “Yes! While she was enjoying her peace and wealth in J City, do you have any idea where | was?” Raiden’s gaze was sharp as a blade as it swept over them, slowly peeling away the mask on his face. Scars upon scars ran across his face, starting from his forehead, slicing his visage in half - grotesque, terrifying, yet heart-wrenchingly painful. What kind of injury had left such scars?

During those dark years, | wished for death every single day, but even death was a luxury | couldn't afford! Years without a glimpse of daylight, | survived, day by day. After she killed Wolverine, | took over his remnants and finally started living like a human again!” “All of this!” Raiden pointed at Estelle, his eyes cold and accusing, “is thanks to her. And of course, to Gab. Gab knew all along that Lexi was bought by Wolverine, but he turned a blind eye to create a chance for Stella to escape. After we all fell, he ctoo late, saving only her!” “It’s not like that!” Xavier shook his head, “Gab isn’t that kind of person!” “That's the truth!” Raiden’s eyes burned with hatred as he continued, “In Gab’s eyes, we were just disposable tools, nothing more!” “If I had died, maybe | could have rested. But | didn’t, ang .L saw the filthy truth of human nature!” Visit Dramasto read full content.
