Chapitre 525: Deal [1]

"Why didn't you kill him?"

An eerie voice echoed across a small room.

With my head lowered, I replied.

"Did I have to kill him? ...If so, I do apologize for my actions." 

In the two days since my fight with Lightning Dragon, I had essentially recovered from all of my wounds. Some parts of my body were still sore, but that was just about it.

Regarding where I was...

It was Duke Anozech's private area. 

"No, you don't have to be sorry."

In the aftermath of my fight with Lightning Dragon, it seemed that I had finally caught the Duke's attention. 

Which was something that I desired from the very beginning.

He was instrumental in my inevitable escape. 

"...Rather, you did me a favor by not killing him."

Lifting my head slightly, I raised my brow. 

My head lowered once more when I saw the look on his face. 

"Is that so? …then I'm flattered."

"...I'm starting to like you more and more."
