Bab 520: The Cult's Assembly [Pt 2]

Legris couldn't help but shake in excitement.

He had thought he'd pulled one over Jared Leonard, but the boy had managed to surprise him yet again.

'He really pulled it off… he tricked me again.'

That was what made the kid so interesting… but also dangerous.

"This was the work of the Singularity, no? Why did you not kill him back when you had the chance?"

At this point, the Cult Leader was glaring at Legris.

Everyone knew that Singularities were extremely dangerous to the Cult, regarded as threats that had to be purged.

Of course, lower members like Legris didn't know very much, but the upper echelons had a better idea why.

For him to have had Jared Leonard in his grasp, and yet he had done nothing to kill him… it was highly irresponsible and suspicious.

"I couldn't kill him. He'd just teleport away. Besides, any further time I wasted deliberating the matter would have been disadvantageous for me. For all I know, he could have been contacting Neron Kaelid."
