Chương 612: Why So Suspicious?

The sage words is an admittance of baiting him and also a warning to him. The sage said it with a jovial attitude but he couldn't be jovial about it. Instead, he became alert and cautious immediately.

"What do you want from me then?" He asked the sage.

He thought his reason for attending the competition is hidden. He didn't think that the sage will set what he thought was his original and secret intentions to be bait.

The sage replied. "I want a lot of things from you but you don't need to worry about what I want. You will do them anyway."

Soverick rubbed his hands over his face and shook his head. Finding out that his recent endeavors are not as covert as he thought but were anticipated made him start to question himself. The Sage's statement that he will do what he wants anyway certainly didn't help his self-doubt. He doesn't know what's going on but he knows that he is being played and it definitely has something to do with this competition.
