章 384: Chapter 384 – Hoard

"I see," the governor said after a while. "A shame."

Nick evaluated the governor's answer but wasn't sure about why he had worded it like that.

Nick was quite sure that he had illustrated his point quite well, and the governor should have voiced his agreement if he were of the same opinion or voiced his disagreement in the opposite case.

Yet, he basically only brushed all of Nick's words off.

"I'm sorry," Nick said. 

Silence.

Nick was just standing near the entrance of the room without moving.

He felt a bit awkward, but there wasn't anything he could really do about it.

If he ran back to the city on his own, he might come across someone from Anatomy again, and he might get killed.

The governor was the one who had brought Nick here, and Nick wouldn't return without him.

After all, he didn't want to die.
