Chapter 863: Soul (1)
In the darkness, Nabiliyeong had been by his side for a long time.
Since the four evil spirits had disappeared to carry out their mission, she had been waiting beside him the entire time.
Listening intently to his words with a joyful expression, she nodded along, yet she maintained a cool and calculated judgment.
‘He’s starting to doubt me. This is some kind of test.’
For him, favor and suspicion were like the two sides of the same coin.
The more he valued a person’s abilities, the more he suspected them.
Nabiliyeong had never failed, but the events she was involved in never went perfectly according to his plans, which was enough reason for him to doubt her.
For that reason, before this operation, he had given Nabiliyeong no information and had kept her close to ensure she wouldn’t stray.
‘If today’s operation succeeds, his suspicion will grow. But if it fails, I’ll be called upon for important tasks more frequently.’
At this moment, there was only one thing Nabiliyeong could do.
To wait without showing any anxiety.
Though it appeared he was neglecting her by keeping her close, he was still observing her using one of his senses.
