Obscure

Somewhere hidden in the crowd, Slade witnessed the brutal execution of his business partners, Atkin and Nara, with a horrified expression on his face.

When he saw Adam hang them on the pillar, his mind froze in shock. He couldn't believe that the youth was actually able to deal with two Rank 2 Magi.

The reason why he had escaped at the beginning was because of his cautious nature.

But never in his wildest imagination, had he thought that Adam would be able to take care of Atkin and Nara so efficiently. Not only that, but the youth had also managed to burn the pleasure house to the ground at the same time.

Furthermore, when he saw Adam effortlessly thwart the advances of Whitmore, a well-known Mana Liquefaction Magus in Acryon, he knew that the youth was the real deal.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was able to escape thanks to his magic scroll.
