Chapter 45: The Tyrant
"If you come out of your hiding spot, I’ll scream and both of us will be damned by that Tyrant together," Cail threatened.
The woman who was about to chase after him paused. She looked at Cail in disbelief. Damn, did she just get betrayed? "You— after I gave you all that information, this is how you repay me? We’ll be damned! I will scream that you’re my man!" The woman looked at Cail angrily.
"Oh, heck yeah, go on. If I scream that I’m gay and confess to that Tyrant, what are you gonna do?" Of course, Cail wouldn’t let anyone defeat him when it comes to shamelessness. While he might not do it before assessing that guy’s personality, Cail wasn’t shy about doing something absolutely unhinged.
The woman looked at Cail as if she had just met him. "You being quiet and curious made me think you were a shy one. I didn’t know you’d be this shameless."
Cail rolled his eyes and didn’t answer. But still, he tossed something at the woman. The woman caught it. It was a small beaded bracelet. Just as she was about to ask Cail what it was, Cail vanished.
Cail continued running away from the woman. Even when he was already at a distance, he could still feel the glare boring into his back.
Of course, he was all quiet and docile a while ago. Now that he knew what she was scared of, it would be dumb not to exploit it, knowing that she seemed to plan something about Cail other than recruiting him.
"I had lost something as well..." He hadn’t gotten the answer as to how to leave the rift. He was not sure if that was deliberate on the woman’s side, but Cail felt that it was still worth it.
He looked back and saw a dense void energy coming his way. It felt very oppressive, and it could even rival Mr. Quill.
"I just realized that I’m a bit cowardly." Then Cail spat, "No, this is not being cowardly. This is just me adhering to my survival instincts."
"If that woman was telling the truth, then there should be other void users in this rift."
