An Extra’s POV

Chapter 719

Adrien was sincerely impressed with Rey.

At first, he didn't really have an opinion of him—just as he didn't have an opinion of anyone else. He had no clue if he could 'use' him, or if he had to be wary of him.

'He's brilliant, and he's outsmarted me in many instances already… almost as though he is a completely different person from the one I am used to.'

Still, anytime he interacted with Rey, something seemed off.

Yet… those observed characteristics ran contrary to a lot of Rey's actions.

'That version of Rey would not have been able to manipulate all of these scenarios to such a level of sophistication.'

Not only was he easy to read, but his scope of knowledge seemed very lacking. He expected the competent Manipulator that pushed him to such an extent to be much more knowledgeable and mature, but Rey showed no such thing.

The entire thing almost felt like Adrien was dealing with two different people.
