Theron took the lack of response from the female assassin as confirmation. She had, indeed, not succeeded yet.
His smile deepened.
"And what if I helped you with your quest?"
The female assassin's expression gave nothing but coldness away.
"This isn't allowed, and these aren't people who can be fooled by a few cute tricks. As clever as you think you are, does it matter when a god can wave a hand and reverse the stream of time to see what happened?"
Theron's gaze flickered. This was a very clear warning from the female assassin, but it also revealed something else. This wasn't the fact that the people of the Demon Corps would grow so powerful, but instead that she was familiar with how little he knew.
The question was… was she assuming he knew so little because there were no such experts here, or was it because she knew more about him than even Theron was willing to consider?
The problem was… how would she possibly know so much about him?
