Chapter456-No Regrets
The man in black hesitated visibly when confronted with John's question about the Mystery Saint.
It seemed he did indeed know something relevant but was reluctant to share this information with John.
Noticing the hesitation, John pressed on: "I really don't understand why you people from the Dark Faction would want to conceal information about the Mystery Saint. From my perspective, the Mystery Faction and your Dark Faction should be adversaries, right?"
John's words finally elicited a faint smile from the man in black, who now believed John lacked sufficient information and had made a significant error in judgment.
"How do you know that the Mystery Saint and the Dark Faction are not allies? Have you met the Mystery Saint personally? Or did a prophet sent by them tell you these things?"
Facing the man in black's counter-question, John maintained his smile, fully aware that this was a tactic to gauge how much he really knew.
