Catching up to Nathaniel, Adam walked beside him like an equal.
It angered the Silent Ghost, who followed behind them with his head lowered and showed utmost respect towards Nathaniel, believing that Adam was acting arrogantly.
In the Silent Ghost's eyes, it was like an ant trying to walk alongside the elephants as an equal, but Adam was not one to submit to others just because they were more powerful than him.
Even after he surpassed his master in strength, he still showed him respect.
But their relationship was deeper than a master and disciple relationship.
They would joke around with each other and enjoy each other's company.
They both felt like something was missing from their life.
Adam never had a senior male figure in his life and saw his master as not only his master but also a father figure that he was deeply indebted to.
