Kapitel 195: The Current Imbalance [Pt 1]

An uncomfortable silence hung in the air.

The unnatural sight of a grown, massive man bowing to the much smaller man in darkness made the entire scenario all the more tense.

No one could afford to speak in this heavy atmosphere, and for a few seconds, they could only watch each other.

"O-of course not!" Rebal Blanc responded, a big smile on his face.

He looked nothing like Asher, but it seemed like they both liked to smile in situations like this.

Instead, he preferred to systematically take his time.

This situation was no different.
