Kapitel 624: Puppet

Onp didn't waste time in pleasantries. He didn't even explain the meaning of his words, but Khan understood it. Some things couldn't be said, and that admission was already too much for a Thilku.

The environment was magnetic for Khan, but the admission kept his gaze on the elevator. He couldn't see Onp properly but felt the need to owe him some respect. It must have taken a lot of resolve to say such words, and Khan couldn't dismiss it.

For a species as proud as the Thilku, putting so much trust in an outsider was a grave insult. Onp had even gone beyond that, vaguely hinting at something deeper. In Onp's mind, Khan had almost become the key to everything, the only soldier who could solve Cegnore's situation.
