Chương 242: The Hive, III

"So, this is how you train?"

After a minute or so of awkward silence, Ned started.

Roy's method took Ned by surprise. To think that Ned would fall for that trick. It wasn't wondering since Roy mentioned his Master. Even just the name of his Master put Ned's emotion in turmoil. So, using it to lure his emotions was a success not just to Roy but to Ned as well.

Although most of his facial features were burned, his lips arched a smile. Eventually, it fell to dumbstruck.

"What's wrong?" Ned asked. Sensing that the air around Roy changed.

"Did you feel the change?" Roy asked.

He and Ned went to rest with their backs against the cold wall of the chamber.

As they talk, Ned sensed something out of Roy. It was a genuine hostility, and it was an Intent.

Ned shook his head. Unsure how to answer Roy.
