Chapitre 1741: Best Policy

They left the impact zone in a government transport. The ride was much less luxurious than Neph's destroyed PTV, but Sunny, who had crossed countless kilometers in shaky military vehicles, did not mind. 

'...I wonder how much that PTV cost.'

If Sunny had lost something that lavish and expensive, he would have been cursing the dead gods and drowning in bitterness. But Nephis did not seem to mind the loss too much. 

Granted, her mood seemed a little strange. 

As they drove past the burned remains of the PTV, she stared at it intently, a distant look in her eyes. 

"Are you alright?"

Sunny wished that it was him who had asked that, but the Lord of Shadows was not that considerate. So, he had kept silent, and Kai spoke in his stead. 

Nephis lingered for a few moments, then looked away from the wreckage and sighed. 

"Sure. It's just that… the situation is so familiar. But the outcome is entirely different. Times have changed."
