Unexpected Revelation

Sunny did not have much of a reaction to that statement. Hearing a terrifying existence like Beastmaster contemplating the murder of one of his close ones… was certainly a chilling experience. However, the person in question was Neph. So, the feeling was not novel.

Someone was always trying to kill her.

'I'd like to see you try.'

He lingered for a moment, then shook his head.

'...Actually, no. I take it back. I would not like it one bit.'

Silence hung in the distant tent for a few moments. Seishan did not hurry with an answer.

When she eventually spoke, her voice was even:

"That would require us to commit too many resources."

Beastmaster seemed slightly surprised. The arch of her eyebrow was so exquisite that even Sunny's shadow was momentarily mesmerized. Luckily, he had sent the gloomy shadow to spy on her — that guy was not easily phased. The shadow quickly regained its composure and continued to listen.

"Too many resources? But she is just a Master."
