Chapter 170 I Can't Turn Back

• Ryan wrapped his arm around Echo's waist and answered casually, "He's got the No. 9 Toxin on his nails, and there's a callus on the tip of his index finger. He's too clever for someone born in the underworld. His innocent eyes are a joke. He's been so weak all these years and hasn't died, so I have every reason to believe all the rumors about him are wrong."
• Echo raised an eyebrow at Ryan's words. She hadn't noticed the toxin. It was colorless and odorless, so she was impressed that Ryan had caught it. Bill hadn't even picked up on it.
• But now, she kind of felt for Edward. She hadn't expected him to end up like this, and if Edward had known what Ryan was going to do, he probably wouldn't have acted the way he did today.
