"For someone who claims not to know me, you certainly made good use of my name for your own benefit."
Hearing those words, Ash's expression stayed calm because of Omni Thought, but deep inside, he was genuinely shocked. Even though his eyes weren't as lifeless as before, thanks to the potion from the World Tree, they still carried that cold and distant look.
No way… Whisperer…?
Ash thought the name in his mind, slowly trying to make sense of what was happening.
He knew he had only used one name for his advantage, and that was the Whisperer. Sure, there was also the "Dragon Slayer" name he used, but that brought more trouble than help.
"Don't speak in riddles, old man. I don't understand what you're talking about. And about using your name, I don't even know who you are."
Damn it… how is he even here? He never showed up in the original novel. I knew the future would change, but this much? Seriously?
