Chapter 475 - 33. Attempt_2
Fisher didn’t watch Ossie eating; at the moment, he was like a keg of gunpowder that only needed the slightest spark to ignite. Deciding to take action, he stood up and walked toward the en suite bathroom. In front of the mirror, he scooped up some water and splashed it on his face. Only when the cold droplets fell from his now considerably stubbled cheeks did his mind begin to calm down.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the meaning behind Elliog’s words.

These gifts were not conferred based on human thinking; overreliance on human cognition could lead to the current discomforts he experienced.
