"Hey, Steven, how did you know we were coming back? Did you come here just to meet us?" Walker greeted Steven, thinking that Steven had come specifically to welcome him.
After all, Walker had gained a lot from his recent venture through the Doors of Terror, significantly enhancing his abilities.
If he remembered correctly, Steven also seemed to have a good relationship with William.
Walker wasn't foolish. William had emerged from the Doors of Terror unscathed, without a single wound.
Was he really just a novice Soulmancer?
Given Steven's status, would he be so courteous to a novice Soulmancer?
Even if Zoey liked William, if William didn't have some real skills, someone of Steven's stature wouldn't likely show William any favor.
Or maybe, as William had claimed, he was that kind of formidable assassin.
