Chapter 31: The Line Between Us
Min-ho’s plan was to fool the world into thinking his Affinity granted him the ability to mess with other Z-Streamers’ Systems. Then of course, his teammates weren’t exactly the world. And they already knew what his Affinity was.
The option to lie that he had another Affinity was there, but such a thing was unheard of.
Not at his Rank.
The first thing Min-ho did was to look at their Z-Eyes. Fortunately, they were all turned off. It would seem his teammates weren’t eager to expose him to the world just yet.
He brought his sights down.
"Right, the truth," he said, his voice weak.
He fell silent, unsure if telling them was the right thing to do.
"I... I’m afraid I can’t tell you that," Min-ho said, unwavering in his decision.
A moment’s thought led Min-ho to believe that there were just too many things that could go wrong if he revealed the truth.
He still didn’t really know these people. Or if they would be together until they exited the Tower.
Alliances could change on a dime, and enemies could be forged in seconds. It was better to not have an enemy that knew all of his secrets. Such things had been the main reason kingdoms throughout history had toppled. Or rather, gotten Z-Streamers killed.
