Ever since Olivia woke up in the morning, she could feel that something was weighing on Ethan's mind. When they had just gotten into the car, she noticed the worried look on his face.
So, she took the initiative to give him a peck on the cheek. "Why are you so upset?"
Ethan hesitated to speak. "It's nothing."
"If you don't tell me, I'll kiss you until you do."
"You're so naughty." Ethan deepened the kiss. Things were almost going out of hand, so Olivia shoved Ethan away.
She leaned her head against his shoulder, squeezing her fingers in between Ethan's. She said, "We're not bound by marriage, but after Dad died, you're the person closest to me in this world other than the kids.
"Ethan, can you please tell me what you're thinking about?"
Ethan curled his fingers, tightly holding her hand in his. He stared straight at her as he said, "You're my Liv, and you're also… Septem?"
Olivia stiffened. "You knew?"
"The newest S-class mission from The Black Ravens was to obtain the ring. The person who accepted the mission was Septem.
"To be honest, I've been investigating you a long time ago. You're the one who dealt with Golden Shark, right?"
After he was poisoned, someone killed Golden Shark, who had run away. Also, with his method, they lopped off Golden Shark's head and posted it on the dark web.
Olivia didn't deny it. "It was me. I wanted to figure out who it was that tried to kill me back then. Even if I can't get any clues, she might come back when she hears that I'm still alive.
"It's in places like this that I can get information as soon as possible, and I can trace her too."
Ethan said, "Liv, I told you that I'll help you look into it. Why didn't you believe me? Why would you rather risk your life to get to this point?"
