Nox's full attention was now on Jack. He had been waiting for this moment for several months, and it appeared that Jack was finally about to come clean.
He waited quietly, and with every minute that Jack took, he grew more restless. There were very few things that made him this on edge, and this was one of them.
Whether Jack was doing it deliberately, taking his time before speaking, or was simply still pondering over it was unknown.
A couple more breaths later, a determined gleam flashed across Jack's eyes.
"Unlike normal Awakened… I'm a bit spe—"
"We're here!" Ria's voice rang out right at that moment.
Below stretched the half-rebuilt capital of the Vermilion Kingdom.
A deep frown appeared on Nox's face as he slowly shifted his gaze back to Jack. The previous gleam was now completely quenched.
The Beast Tamer sighed quietly in his heart, knowing it would be difficult to get Jack to talk again.
