The Author's POV

Chapter 177

Returning to where I had last seen Kevin after I spotted him casually leaning against a wall I called out for him as I waved at him.

"Yo, I'm back"

"Oh you're bac-huh?"

Spotting me, just as Kevin was about to greet me, stopping abruptly his eyes paused on a tall hooded figure that stood behind me.

"...Hey Ren, who is he?"

Glancing at the hooded figure standing behind me I waved it off as I casually said.

"Him? You've already met him before"

"Who?"

Turning around, and glancing at the hooded figure, I spoke in Lartvian.

"It's okay to take off your hood, he's with me"

The reason I was able to communicate with him in Lartvian was thanks to Angelica's telepathic ability which allowed me to understand and speak the language.

"khrr...Yes"

Nodding his head, the hooded figure slowly pulled down his hood revealing the features of a white orc that had a large scar that traveled past half of his face making him look especially intimidating.

Opening his eyes wide, Kevin exclaimed.

"What?! Silug?"

Nodding my head, I confirmed.

"Yeah, Silug in the flesh"

Alternating his head between Silug and I, Kevin had many things he wanted to say. However, he refrained from voicing them out as he knew it wouldn't do them any good at the moment.

Especially since Ren pretty much recruited the one guy he fucked over.

...just what had the world become.

Unaware of Kevin's thought, with a smirk on my face I said.

"Surprised right?"

"Yeah, if I said I wasn't surprised that would've been a lie"

I mean, he had just recruited Silug, a legion commander and someone whose rank was far above his.

...how could he not be surprised?

Seeing Kevin's reaction, nodding my head repeatedly I glanced at Silug who was standing behind me.

"Well, things just happened and I think Silug would be a great addition to our team. Moreover, he was just rotting in jail, felt that it was a waste of his talent"

With an awkward smile on his face, Kevin nodded his head.

"...yeah, if you say so"

He was indeed someone that could go toe-to-toe with a count-ranked demon.

...it would indeed be a waste for someone of his strength to rot in jail.

But that wasn't the problem as Kevin really couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Ren had just recruited the one person he screwed over.

If he later found out the truth of the matter, Kevin wouldn't even know how to help Ren.

*Sigh*

Sighing out loud, Kevin glanced at Ren and asked.

"How did you convince him?"

"It didn't take me much, I just proposed to him a couple of..."

As Kevin and I were conversing, Silug remained motionless.

He was currently staring at the army of orcs in the distance with a solemn expression.
