Chapter 354: Chapter 351: The Separation of the Crowd_1

"So this is goodbye, Tan Juan," Louis said calmly, nodding to Annan.

Confronted with the sudden liberation from his lengthy duties, he showed no particular excitement or resentment towards Annan for meddling.

He simply accepted the fact calmly and felt grateful to Annan.

"I knew this day would come," Louis had said when Annan first approached him.

In fact… Louis had never expected Annan to clear the Nightmare in one go at the beginning.

From that moment on, Louis knew… his return to the Royal Capital would probably be much sooner than he had anticipated.

Before coming to Frostwater Harbor, Louis was prepared to "purify Nightmares in Frostwater Harbor until the age of forty"… even the mental preparation to fail to dispel the Nightmare, dying miserably here, was made long ago.
