Chapter 227: The Seal Breaks

"You don't need to be so formal."

Liye wasn't the kind to like formalities. He didn't mind if people worshipped him from afar, but he didn't like that those close to him were too respectful when speaking to him. He wasn't too social, to begin with, so he valued a lot those close to him and didn't like to see them acting like strangers.

"Let's change the topic. You are Gerken, right? The Soul Reaper. I heard a lot about you. I guess you are the most detached of our little group, but I am counting on you from now on."

Liye smiled while looking at Gerken. He had known of his identity for a long time.

"It is a pleasure to work with you all."

Gerken didn't have any strong connection with them like the rest.

Aknarel was Liye's father, and Lina's father was Aknarel's best friend, so she had been calling him Uncle Aknarel since she was young.

Shiba was Liye's disciple, and he was also like a younger brother for Lina, so he was also deeply connected to the others.
