Bab 816: Police Station (4)

"Oh? Really, Erik Romano? I heard he died."

Now Zachary hadn't been informed by the Blackguards about Erik's fate.

Of course, they told Howell, but he couldn't spread that information, at least not for now, and especially not in Frant.

Those close to Becker knew what he wanted to do with him.

To say that Erik Romano, the awakener, was alive, could ignite something they weren't keen on seeing burning.

"Died? I don't know. I refuse to think that guy is dead," Zachary said.

"Why so?" Erik asked with interest.

Zachary felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite understand what it was.

He thought he should have been less inclined to talk about this, but there was a sort of eagerness that prevented him from stopping.
