(A/N: Bonus Chapter).
...!
Skullius almost stood up in shock!
He quickly held himself back as that simple move if noticed could have dire consequences.
This man...
That voice!
That face!
It was... him!
The man from that cavern where he and the Harem Guild battled the Evenfall cultists!
'I thought he was captured! Did he escape?!' Skullius thought in confusion. Silrat hadn't told him of this.
It probably slipped his mind because at the time that it happened, the Galemonger had laid waste to the city right after with its Bulk Terrors!
Following that, he had witnessed the consequences of providing wanton assistance to Skullius without mutual benefit in real time, which rattled him even further.
Following that came arranging the agreement with Stylla and after that, Skullius had departed from them, claiming he would meet them in Genhuis City.
So yes, that had slipped Silrat's mind.
