章 180: Please, Answer My Question...

"Did Oli have dark essence?" Puula repeated, still speaking slowly and softly.

Ania shook her head, "Puula, what could ever--" 

"We both know that Netra has perfect dark affinity, allowing her to sense essence on the same level as veteran perennials and kings. I hate to admit it, but her senses for dark essence are even stronger than mine. But I didn't fully understand how precise her affinity was until long after she had mentioned something," Puula explained.

"I'm sure you remember the night when Netra had suddenly shared her scent with Oli without any warning or reason. I spoke with her afterward and I distinctly remember her claims that Oli possessed dark essence."

"But why would he? How would he?" Ania questioned. "I've never met an Iron-body Gorilla with dark essence, let alone married one."
