Chapter 75 - 73. Chasing Light
"He came often?" Zein asked then—since they were already on the topic, might as well satiate his curiosity.
"Sometimes," the Guildmaster answered with a light smile, and Zein couldn’t decipher how often was that ’sometimes’. Like...once a year? Once a week? "Drink?"
"Just water," Zein glanced toward the ’butler’ and other summoned creatures who were there again. "I thought you didn’t get along well?"
Observing the man, Zein saw the crimson eyes curled, and the lips beneath flashed a cold smile. "We didn’t," he said, with a slight disdain underneath. "As a matter of fact, I hate him."
Zein tried to remember the flushed, blissful face he witnessed earlier, the submissive whine and moans as he walked out.
"But I love him too," Radia, who was leaning back, rubbed his lips with two fingers, eyes staring vacantly at the desk. "Well, at least I love his body,"
"So you maintain a physical relationship under everyone’s eyes?"
Instead of answering, Radia cocked his head toward something on the table, a sealing box with something ominous behind it. Zein had never seen that kind of box—made of reinforced metal with layers of protection arrays carved into it. But from the size and the way it gave him a nostalgic creep, Zein could take a guess.
"A corrupted mana stone?"
"Oh~it’s so nice talking to people who don’t need much explanation," Radia exhaled in delight, the crimson eyes curled in satisfaction.
Ignoring that remark, Zein tilted his head in ponder. Bringing up this stone when he asked about their relationship meant that the one who got that stone was Han Joon, and it was being delivered today. Was that why Radia couldn’t help but succumb to the man’s whim, even ignoring his previous engagement with Zein?
