Chapter 732
Ray thought, ‘How could Atheny cooperate with other men to frame me?‘
Ray had never been so painful as he was now.
He covered his chest, as if only this way could he alleviate some of the pain.
“Atheny, you wouldn’t treat me like this…” he said.

Xander protected Athena behind him, his eyes cold as he said, “Ray, you murdered the Northcold envoy and committed a heinous crime. Do you still want to be unrepentant?”
“Unrepentant?” Ray suddenly laughed miserably, his laughter particularly creepy. “You are full of benevolence and morality, but who understands my pain? Athena, have you forgotten our agreement? You said you would wait for me to come back and marry you. How can you break your promise!”
He pointed at Xander, his laughter desolate. “Have you forgotten our oath? You said you would marry me and grow old by my side, but now you are standing next to Xander, pointing the knife at me. Can you be worthy of me?”
Athena turned her face away, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly. “Times change. There’s no need to bring up the past. Step back, and you might just save your life.”
“Step back?” Ray suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, “How can you ask me to step back? I gave up so much for you, and now you’re standing by him, telling me to stop? Athena, how cruel can you be!”
He suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, its cold light aimed straight at Xander. “Even if it costs me my life, I’ll take her away today!”
Under the pale moonlight, the sword flashed with a chilling arc. Ray, like a beast driven to the edge, roared with rage
and hurled himself at Xander in a final, desperate charge.
Athena subconsciously clenched her sleeves, her nails digging deeply into her palm.
She had never seen Ray so frenzied. The boy who always spoke to her in gentle tones had been completely consumed by obsession.
Xander dodged the stabbing dagger, and with a twist of his wrist, he seized Ray’s pulse.
With a sharp sound, Ray cried out in pain. His long sword clattered to the ground, his wrist twisted at an unnatural angle.
But he seemed oblivious to the pain, still struggling madly. “Let me go! Atheny is mine! No one can take her away!”
“Obstinate.” Xander’s eyes grew colder as he kicked him to the ground.
The long sword at his waist was drawn, its tip pressed against Ray’s throat as he coldly said, “Dare to act presumptuously again, and don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Ray lay on the ground, the coldness at his neck making him shiver, but the madness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
He stared intently at Athena, his voice hoarse, “Atheny, are you really going to watch him kill me?”
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his bloodshot eyes were stained with madness.
Ray looked at Athena unwillingly, his eyes full of expectation.
He didn’t believe that Athena had no affection for him at all.
Athena’s gaze fell on the dagger on the ground, her throat tightening.
She knew Xander would do what he said, but watching Ray lose his life, she couldn’t bear it after all.
