Beyond the Domain, Vincent stood atop a floating fragment of starstone, gazing at Vangar across the void.
"Vangar, you've been standing there staring at me for half an hour."
His brows furrowed slightly.
"You dragged me all the way out here. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Before dawn, Vangar had sent him a message asking him to meet, claiming he had something important regarding Rory to discuss.
After Vincent arrived, Vangar had led him away from Z1689 and all the way to this desolate region of space.
By now, Vincent had already figured it out.
The excuse about Rory had been a lie from the beginning.
The entire purpose had simply been to lure him away.
But who benefited from that?
A thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"Vangar, don't tell me you pulled me out here just to give Xarion a chance to be alone with Rory."
With both of them gone, Xarion would have uninterrupted time with her.
"When did you and Xarion start working together?"
Vincent narrowed his eyes.
