An Extra’s POV

Chapter 787

"Adonis…"

Rey's tone was low, but intentionally heavy. He tried to be as calm and friendly with Adonis, not resorting to harsher methods to get the information he wanted, but… the Hero wasn't cooperating at all.

'I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but if there's a chance it would affect my mission, then it's important I find out what it is.'

Besides, ever since he met Adonis, Rey hadn't stopped thinking about how useful he would be to his current objective. However, he couldn't bring him on board yet.

… Not until he knew Adonis' true motives.

"Look, Rey… I won't ask any questions about you. I won't ask how you got so strong… how you were able to hide your power for so long… or even why you're here. None of those things matter to me now." Adonis said this in such a serious, detached manner that Rey had to wonder if this was truly the guy he knew.

Not only did he lack that glow of optimism and compassion that usually filled his eyes, but he was cold—too cold for Adonis.

Perhaps this was his true self all along, and Rey had merely gotten used to a facade.

Either way… the confrontation was jarring.

"It's best if we go about our individual activities like we don't know each other. I won't trouble you, so I'd really appreciate it if you didn't bother me."

"Bother… you?"

The boy in front of him was truly Adonis, but something had definitely happened to him—something that changed him.

For a moment after these words echoed in the air, no one spoke.

The two simply stared.
