Chapter 151: Adam Vs Seo-Yun [3]
Seo-Yun’s words struck me like lightning as my thoughts drifted back—back to the moment before I went out to fight the joint 60,000 soldiers. I had considered using my dark talents. And even though I didn’t, I was still pulled into a dark place. One that ended up increasing my corruption level.
What she said about the people around me was true... but I refused to believe I’d fall like the rest.
"Ooh... it seems you’ve already been in that situation. That explains why your soul is already tainted," Seo-Yun chuckled, snapping me back to reality.
I realized I had been lost in thought. My worries must’ve been written all over my face, which is probably why she made such a bold assumption.
"You see?" Seo-Yun continued. "No one makes it alone. Capturing territories and building forces should be your priority, not improving your strength. This tip is worth a billion bucks, but since you’re the love of my life, I’ll take a hot, steamy night as payment."
Pa!
I facepalmed, silently wondering if this girl was always this unserious—or just with me.
"I’m serious," she said with a stern tone. "I like you, so why don’t we work together from now on? Together we can defeat every other Gatekeeper, unite the realm, and become the strongest Gatekeepers in the universe."
Buzz!
Something snapped in my head at the last part.
"Become the strongest Gatekeeper in the universe..." I mumbled, a spark of realization lighting in my eyes.
For a moment, I was almost swayed by her words. But that line made me realize... we didn’t have the same goal.
