Chapter 56 An Unexpected Answer

“Headquarters assigned me to protect you, and that’s when I first heard your name,” Ludwig said, voice calm and steady. “I don’t know when you joined Abyssal Choir, or how. There’s a lot about you I actually don’t know”

His face was unreadable, his tone emotionless.

Jean tilted her head. Then how did you end up joining Abyssal Choir?”

She was genuinely curious. The infamous Demon Kid, willingly following orders from a mysterious organization? That didn’t line up

Especially now–Abyssal Choir was still small. Barely known. Ludwig, on the other hand, was practically a legend. A rogue genius. The type who’d never bow to anyone. Why would someone like him sign up for something like this?
