Chapter 285: Dante's Perspective Part 4

I went to the window and stuffed the letter into my shirt so I wouldn't lose it. With determined eyes, I climbed through the window and hopped to another roof. Luckily, the smoke was so thick and the night was dark that no one could see me.

I peered through the smoke and caught sight of a young teenage boy watching the scene with cold emotionless eyes. His eyes turned to look at me as if he had felt my presence. I glared at him through the smoke.

I tightened my fist. I want to kill him for killing my mother.

But I can't.

I promised my mother.

I agilely ran off into the night without hesitation. I had expected him to follow, but surprisingly… 

He didn't.
