Chapter 892: The Spy's Way of Survival
"So, you've done all that for Aleister just to see me? I don't believe I'm that charming," Tsuchimikado Motoharu said as he stood cautiously by the door, fully aware of how dangerous Su Xiao was—a cold-blooded killer without hesitation.
"No need to be so wary. If something happens to you here, I'll have more than just Aleister. Plus, there will be other forces coming after me," Su Xiao said, his demeanour noticeably calmer and more organised after dispelling the emotional interference.
"It's just a matter of mutual benefit," Tsuchimikado replied, finally walking into the room and sitting on the sofa. He kept his sunglasses on, a habit to prevent others from reading his eyes—the windows to the soul, a critical survival tactic for a spy. Being read meant being dead.
In the original story, Tsuchimikado appeared to be a laid-back teenager, but the reality differed. He was meticulous and level-headed, with a unique willingness to risk everything for friends and protect his adopted sister, even if it meant opposing the entire world.
"You came to see me for information, right? I can't think of any other reason," Tsuchimikado said, fingers interlocked and leaning forward.
"Of course. I came to Academy City to find something," Su Xiao responded.
"And what might that be?"
"The Necronomicon, or whatever it's called."
Tsuchimikado went silent, his eyes narrowing behind his sunglasses. After a long pause, he sighed.
