Chương 656: Better Off

Everyone froze in shock, even Overseer Eudo himself.

The truth was that Overseer Eudo had been furious in the beginning. Ryu was meant to be his chance to rise up again, a chance to strive for the goals of his youth. 

But, as time passed on, he cooled down and simply smiled bitterly. He had realized long ago that things were unfair to Ryu. He was practically guaranteed to die while he as an Overseer just had to stand on the sidelines and reap the benefits. 

He had known from the very beginning the kind of danger Ryu would be in, and yet he hadn't said a single word, knowing well that Ryu was likely ignorant about it all. In the end, he simply sighed to himself. Such a person had practically fallen out of the sky and onto his lap to begin with, and he was sure that even if the Heaven's didn't kill Ryu, then the Martial Gods certainly would. At that point, it would be him who pushed Ryu toward his death… So why would Ryu still choose to help him?
