Yushua Delan.
The name was hardly unfamiliar to Celine... Back when she kept dreaming about the Void Realm, she had already sought out Jonas and learned about the Void Realm Church.
Aside from Afanisi's faction, which had already been captured, the group that had entered District 25 from the Federation was the Salvation Faction, led by Yushua Delan. In other words, the seemingly easygoing blonde nun before her was actually a vicious cult leader.
At that thought, Celine immediately grew nervous. Her body tensed, but she feigned composure as she asked:
"Why am I here? What do you want?"
Although the girl seemed brave on the surface, the little details in her behavior let Yushua see right through her. The blonde nun gave a soft chuckle, then said:
"There's no need to be nervous, Lady Celine. I mean you no harm, and it's safe here... Of course, I hope you won't mind that I took it upon myself to bring you here, Miss Celine."
-Like hell I'd believe you.
Hearing that only made Celine more nervous. She hardly believed someone who had brought her somewhere completely unfamiliar without so much as a word could be so well-meaning. Besides, this woman was a notorious cult leader who also seemed hostile toward Mr. Jonas.
If she hadn't been unsure of what the woman was capable of, Celine would probably have already blasted her in the face with psionic energy and seized the chance to run.
Seeing that Celine remained on guard, the blonde nun sighed and took two steps closer, trying to ease her wariness:
"In truth, if I wanted to do anything to you, Miss Celine, I could have done so when I summoned you. I mean you no harm... Of course, if my actions have made you uncomfortable, I apologize."
