章節 228: Center of the City

Adam's stunned words lingered in the air as he stared at John as if he didn't recognize him. John scratched his head, unsure of how to respond.

"Haha, I guess that pill was pretty impressive," John replied. He couldn't reveal the truth of what happened.

"Pill my ass," Adam replied with a raised voice. "No pill helps like that. Just how the hell did you manage that?"

Adam was truly curious, as he was about to ascend to Early Core Formation soon as well. If he could simulate John's ascension, it would improve his power by untold amounts.

"Luck. Anyways, stop asking about it. We have wasted enough time here, let's move out," John replied quickly, his voice indicating that he didn't want to talk about it.

Adam wanted to rebuke, but held his tongue. Everyone had their secrets, and while John's appeared to be absolutely monumental, Adam still respected his privacy. His face suddenly filled with undeserved pride, as he tried to lighten the mood.
