Chapter 1145: Finally
"Did he just lose!?"
"What do you think?"
No one expected it—no one at all.
Odun, just casually sitting back on his throne with Riley's head upon his spear. Even Monkeh, who was aware of just how strong Odun is, thought it would at least be a close match with Odun losing—so why… was Riley's head the one on the spike, literally?
But while everyone else had their eyes wide open, Miss Pepondosovich and V were just shaking their heads and sighing. And of course, Monkeh noticed this and immediately placed her attention on them. As for Aurora, although initially shocked, she was also slowly starting to learn that things are seldom the way they were with Riley, or perhaps it was even more often.
And so, almost at the same time, she and Monkeh sat back at the table and just waited for Miss Pepondosovich to follow her words.
…But she did not follow them with anything at all.
"...What do you mean what do we think?" Aurora squinted her star-shaped eyes as she looked at Miss Pepondosovich, who was just casually still eating while prolonging the suspense she created, "...I thought he would win."
"It's not about winning or losing when it comes to Riley." It wasn't Miss Pepondosovich who answered, but V, "It would seem the two of you still do not know what sort of person he really is."
"Oh… I think I might have an idea," Monkeh's eyes slightly widened as she remembered the way Riley had just started torturing all of his clones, and Garboza the Pig, "He's… intense."
"No," V shook her head as she focused on Riley's head, "The two of you still have no idea just what sort of person he really is—he is not someone you could ever apply logic to."
