Kapitel 765: Meeting With Ater [Pt 3]

'Haaa… why?'

As Rey stared at Ater, the Pact already formed, and the box now in his possession, he felt puzzled by a gnawing feeling that he had no control over.

'Why does something still feel off?'

The Dyubbuk was supposed to give Rey the avenue to trust Ater wholeheartedly, but the assurance faded almost instantly, and Rey didn't know why.

Was it because the curse from the item had failed before with Emil? Or could it be possible that Ater had a duplicate, or even a completely different item, that could break him from the shackles of his curse?

Ater was smart and resourceful enough to orchestrate something behind the scenes while making it appear as though he was perfectly docile.

Rey wasn't unaware of that fact, so it bothered him to no end.

'What if this subservience thing is just an act?'

Could he really be blamed for suspecting the master manipulator known as Ater?
