Ezra's Offer

―

Although Kieran voiced his intention to leave, Ezra stopped him before he could walk away from the table by placing her hands on his. 

Kieran turned toward her with a skeptical gleam in his eyes but waited for her to speak. He didn't mind hearing her out if what she had to say was of some importance or interest.

Ezra exhaled before meeting Kieran's gaze. "I have one last question—is there any secret training method that allowed you to overcome the present combat difficulties so effortlessly?"

"Oh?" Kieran smiled as this question piqued his interest. "Is there something you have to offer if I do?"

"My first question is do you have connections?" Ezra questioned.

Kieran's answer was naturally no. Because beside Dr. Riley, he didn't have any allies or people he could rely on. Besides, it was difficult for Kieran to trust people without first testing them.
