Chapter 286. Youre Weak (2)
The Mercenary King Nelson accepted Caron's proposal without hesitation. He had already come to a firm conclusion about the young man's true identity.
That has to be Caron Leston, Nelson thought.
He didn't know how the pirate had managed such a flawless disguise, but the evidence all pointed to one thing—this so-called hero Xenon was, without a doubt, Caron Leston.

I won't make that mistake, Nelson thought grimly.
