Chapter 74
Grayson opened his mouth but couldn't speak. He seemed utterly confused, not understanding what to say. Dein became briefly curious. Was this genuine astonishment from Grayson, or merely a learned reflex?
"Pharmaceutical companies need subjects to test on, so they distribute drugs like this. They sell them under the radar, especially to those who can't get medication through regular channels or when they develop drugs with dubious intentions. And they charge a premium for it."
Dein unusually spoke at length. Perhaps he felt he owed /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Grayson some explanation since he had used his money. Grayson thought that must be right.
"Not well-intentioned?" Grayson asked, catching up with the conversation.
"For example, turning a Beta into an Omega or an Alpha."
Grayson frowned again. He continually seemed puzzled, but Dein didn't seem interested in discussing it further and changed the subject.
"What are we going to do now?"
"What?"
Grayson, lost in thought, paused before responding. Dein replied in a usual indifferent tone.
"I’m done with my errands. What do you want to do now?"
Grayson continued to frown at him. Clearly, this guy had no idea what a date involved.
Despite having everything figured out, Dein was oblivious to the fact that Grayson doubted him. To his limited understanding, just wandering around together was enough to qualify as a date.
