Bab 537: The Witch Elara (Part 3)

Kaizen obviously noticed the change in Elara's countenance, which was surprised and suddenly smiled. Still holding her firmly by the neck, he looked at her with a serious expression, determined not to let his guard down. He knew Elara was cunning and could not underestimate his ability to react even with the Sword of the Night pointed at her torso.

"It's just as I imagined, you are incredibly powerful!" She exclaimed.

Kaizen frowned. "Make no mistake about it. My intention is not to impress you." Kaizen replied, keeping his posture firm.

Elara let out a soft laugh, looking genuinely amazed. "You don't understand, Kaizen. You are so determined and brave, that's even cute. You don't find many people like that these days. You have the potential to be a real leader, Kaizen."

Elara's words took Kaizen by surprise. He never expected to hear words of praise from someone he is about to kill. However, he remained cautious.
