Chapter 332: An explosive meeting part 2
It had seemed that everything that had transpired between Gunther and Rhys had calmed down. Gunther hadn’t done anything insane, and after Kellen had told him he had guided him, and not some stranger, Gunther had calmed down further. They should have known better than to trust an A Class Esper.
Gunther wasn’t a basic A Class Esper. He was Rhys’ right hand man, and he knew Rhys’ behaviours, along with Hill’s, and Kellen’s. It appeared that the water tiger inside of him had been a warning of sorts, but Kellen hadn’t taken it seriously. Or, he had not wanted to take it seriously.
The water tiger inside of Gunther had been...far less tame, a glowing eyed beast that watched Kellen as he worked. It had truly made Kellen feel like he was a beast tamer at a zoo, and once his taming was done, Kellen was again thankful that Taylor was the one who had invented those Guide supplements or else they would be swimming in debt.
But like the tiger inside of him, Gunther lay in wait. Where before, he had been happy, pleased, waiting and wanting to see Casper, it became clear to him at least, that something wasn’t right. Gunther, not a stupid man, knew that if he bided his time long enough, he could get to the source of it all.
Everything came to head when Casper and Gunther had finally run into each other while Casper had his guard down. Everyone had let their guard down. Gunther had had his nose pressed to the grindstone, working, training, behaving as if everything was normal.
Casper didn’t think that Gunther would ever come to the coffee shop, as he didn’t drink caffeine and thought paying for something sweet like this in a building that he helped create was ridiculous.
Casper, however, liked caffeine, and it was apparent that Gunther knew this.
It wasn’t as if the man was blind, and he too, had an interest in the man. Everyone should have anticipated this, but prior to the fight, Gunther hadn’t been actively searching for the other man.
Gunther had been giving him space, without asking or bothering the others about where Casper was. He had been patient, showing off what he thought was a mark of love, similar to how Kellen and Rhys had been doing so. Honestly, if it hadn’t been so deranged, and twisted, it might have been cute.
