Warlock Ch 325. Accusations
She had acted hostile to him before. Back at Cassius' place, she had openly challenged him, pushed him, even provoked Cassius into opening the Abyss, nearly getting herself pulled in. She had treated him like an unknown variable, a threat she needed to keep in check.
Yet now, here she was, making moves that—whether intentional or not—protected him.
'Why?'
It gnawed at him, clawing at the back of his mind.
And there was another thing. She should have known. She should have realized just how far his abilities stretched. She should have called him out on it.
When he first met her, he had pretended to be a clueless newbie, an unremarkable warlock barely scraping by. And yet… when she found out he had passed the S-rank exam in such a short time, she hadn't questioned it. Not once. No interrogation. No accusations.
Instead, she had insisted on making him a Rank S warlock immediately, even after this entire scandal had unfolded.
Damian's fingers twitched.
