Atlan wiped the cold sweat off his eyebrows. That was close…
He was a little bit caught off guard by this interrogation which didn't seem like an interrogation at all. Perhaps, that was intentional. Pterina was able to make him feel comfortable with her as if he was just conversing with an old friend.
He didn't think that she'd use her LifeSkill to try and see through his lies.
I should have known better, he thought to himself.
After all, it was not hard to guess that a disaster as large as that one would garner the attention of the HeadQuarters. They'd stop at nothing to find out the truth about what happened.
Thankfully, his powers pulled through. Pterina didn't see through his lie because Atlan had full control over his own body–a side effect of having SSS class Physique LifeSkill.
He didn't show any perturbations in his body as if he was telling the truth, which she believed.
