Things Aren't That Simple

However, Luther's expression in the next second sent a chill down Ethan's spine. 

As Luther turned to pass Elida, the smile on his face vanished instantly, his features becoming cold and rigid. 

He appeared utterly indifferent, a stark contrast to his previously lascivious demeanor, as if he had been seduced by Elida.

A wave of unexplained coldness swept over Ethan, making his back feel cool. 

Luther's abrupt change of face plunged Ethan into deep thought. 

The idea of seeking out Herman for a chat, which had just begun to form in his mind, was quickly dismissed. 

Something was amiss in this camp, something sinister hidden beneath the surface.

Ethan continued to monitor Luther, who wandered aimlessly around the village. 

Finding a high spot, Luther sat on a rock and began cultivating. 

Ethan frowned, finding Luther's behavior exceedingly strange.
