An Extra’s POV

Chapter 691

Adrien's eyes were nearly bulging.

He did his best to hide his surprise, but it was impossible to fully keep it all tucked away. Having such a bombardment of information had taken its toll on him, so adding one more surprise to his list was the last straw. He could only gawk as the very person he suspected walked into the tent in a casual stride.

"... Long time no see." He said, causing Adrien to tense up a little.

Before Adrien could think of much to say, his lips slowly parted and words flowed out like a smooth river.

"Yeah. It's been a while, Rey…"

Indeed, it had been quite some time since they saw each other. Yes, he and Rey interacted just a while back, but that was through a puppet he made through [Pinocchio]. In actuality, they hadn't seen each other since the desertion of the Otherworlders.

In a sense, Rey was correct. But, the fact that he was standing in front of him right now, despite the commotion and conditions surrounding the current situation, Adrien had a feeling Rey meant it in a more sarcastic sense.

If that was the case, then he instantly felt foolish about even responding.

'It's difficult to believe, but you're the only one I know who fulfills all of the conditions necessary to push me this far. I suspected it was you for a while, but it seems my reliance on Justin's information proved to be my weak link.'

Adrien had long made Justin his loyal minion, so the boy could not lie to him, even if he tried. All the information prior to this point was also incredibly accurate, so there was never any suspicion that he would be lying.

It made no sense whatsoever.

'And yet… here we are.' He ensured not to glare at Rey, showing a calm facade instead as his mind went into swift overdrive.
