But in the underground lab, something strange held Halo captive. He forgot about how much the room reeked. Iris's body was gone.
Her blood and the chair she was chained to during the torture still remained, but her corpse couldn't be found.
"I think Hex took the body with her."
Leto said from behind Halo, where he stood with princely posture alongside Tough and Light.
Halo sneered and clenched his fist.
This made him want to kill the witch even more. This would have been the only decent thing he could have done for Iris after her sacrifice, and even that she took away from him.
After a moment, he calmed himself down. He just hoped she hadn't used the corpse for any experiments, if so, then he'd make her death even more excruciating.
The state of calm he'd reached to defeat Spineless still took its toll. His head stung like hell, but after spending twenty-five Sin Fragments cloning the bastard, he needed to make that price back.
