Chapter 272: Dream (1)
[But now that a being like you has appeared... why wouldn’t I be interested?]
Seo-jun looked at the Alliance Leader’s face, which was right up in front of him.
The corners of his mouth were lifted, but the eyes were indifferent. Even now, there was no way to tell if those words were sincere.
Tilting his head slightly, Seo-jun muttered,
“So what do you want me to do about it.”
[Just stating a fact.]
The Alliance Leader took a step back and asked,
[So what are you, then? You’re human, yet your soul’s presence is faint, and you aren’t crushed beneath my level.]
His face remained calm. He didn’t seem upset at all that Seo-jun could stand before him unaffected.
Seo-jun, for his part, wasn’t surprised that the Alliance Leader had seen through the puppet’s nature. If anything, it was odd that he hadn’t realized it immediately.
“How should I know? You don’t exactly look that impressive to me.”
[That’s surprising. Was it Ju Wonjang, perhaps? Even that little brat who inherited the blood of the Martial God couldn’t raise his head in front of me.]
