This time, it was Julius' turn to be surprised.

He looked at me with one brow raised, as if he didn't expect me to suddenly ask this.

I knew that I had touched on something, so I continued by asking, "Or should I be more specific and ask, why me?"

Julius wasn't as surprised this time as he revealed a smile and said, "This friend, don't you think that you're being a little too egoistic? Why do you think that this is about you?"

Though his voice was calm, I could tell that he wasn't as calm as he seemed on the surface.

It seemed that I had finally been able to shake this young man's perfect image.

I didn't answer the question and just calmly said back, "Oh, then if it's a mistake, I don't think there's a need to keep discussing this anymore, right?"

I stood up and was about to leave when Julius suddenly said, "Alright, alright, we can talk this through."

With this, I turned around with a satisfied smile and sat back down.
