Chapter 389. Side Story 1. The Two Friends (4)
It didn't take long for suspicion to harden into certainty.
Cain had never been good at anything except swordsmanship. He might have thought he was good at acting, but once doubt took root, every detail became painfully obvious. For Halo, it almost felt as if Cain wasn't even trying to hide it.
Caron was using techniques that only Cain could wield—openly, brazenly.
"Hey, you fell for it when I was young, didn't you? That means I acted well," Caron said.
"Damn it, that's because—who would ever think about their friend getting reincarnated as their grandson?" Halo snapped back.
"It could happen," Caron insisted.
"Only lunatics think like that," Halo said.
Halo smiled faintly now as he drank with Cain—no, Caron. They'd led an expedition deep into the Demon Realm, and the long-awaited moment of vengeance was right before them.
The Demon King of Sloth and the Demon Queen of Lust had already been absorbed by Caron, and the Demon King of Havoc had fled into Void's Domain. They finally had a brief moment of rest.
Halo looked at Caron, who no longer bothered to hide his identity, and let out a quiet chuckle.
"Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut to the very end," he said. "Watching you act was kind of funny."
"Hah. You bastard, still as sneaky as ever," Caron said with a smirk.
