Villain Retirement

Chapter 1135: The End

"Because I am in love with you, Riley. And it is disgusting – and the only way to kill that part of myself is to kill you…

…and if I have to kill all of me, then so be it."

Riley blinked a couple of times as several trickles of electricity and lightning started to spark everywhere – almost like butterflies dancing around… trillions of them.
