The amethyst-eyed man, Ares, was surprised by Kyle's reaction. He was sure he looked quite weak compared to everyone else around. So, why did this person jump as if he had seen a ghost?
He quickly raised his hands to wave the white flag, not wanting to ruin the image of a weakling he had so painstakingly created.
The image of a weak individual who was secretly the true powerhouse, helping the genuinely weak when no one expected it!
Then, they would be like, 'Wow, so he has been hiding his strength all this time!' And become his faithful little followers who would be indebted to him for life.
Ares was daydreaming, and that's why he failed to notice how Kyle slipped away and vanished. His eyes widened in shock. This was the first time he had failed to secure a promising newcomer! That little!
He cursed under his breath as he quickly ran off to find Kyle in the huge crowd.
