A sly smile crept across my face as I met her gaze. "You sure about that?" I challenged, activating my Spectral Seal. Its glow shimmered softly, a subtle reminder of the power I held just beneath the surface. I'd held back before entering the Sky Tower, knowing the risks, but now I was ready to turn the tables.
Jane's eyes didn't show any immediate sign of approaching me, so I decided to push her further. I leaned into the provocation, voice dripping with mock confidence. "Don't hold yourself back— you might regret it later."
Her brow furrowed in confusion. "What?"
I let the silence stretch before answering, my smirk widening. "The last time I killed someone, it was because they underestimated me." I kept my tone light, but the underlying warning was clear—she shouldn't dismiss me too easily.
Her expression hardened, and the once playful smile vanished, replaced by a sharp glare. "You asked for it," she declared, suddenly discarding her robe in a fluid motion.
