Bab 637: Childish Stage

Ryu made it to the stone maze. However, rather than carefully picking his entrance like many others did, he simply chose the first one he came across, standing the furthest to the right. 

He rose his head, his gaze happening to meet King Adonis'. The latter, who had just finished explaining things, had been observing the proceedings much like everyone else had been. Without much surprise, his gaze had spent most of its time on Ryu. 

Having become used to Ryu never looking at him, he hadn't been prepared for the sudden change and by the time their gazes met, it was already too late to look away. But.. who was he, as a World Sea Realm expert, to fret the gaze of a small pup like Ryu? 

However, rather than getting into a staring contest, Ryu only matched King Adonis' gaze for a split moment before looking away, the depth of his gaze almost reaching the heart of the World Sea Realm King. Somehow, Adonis felt that he had been seen through completely.
