Upon seeing Logan's reaction, Antigonus chuckled arrogantly.
Phew!
Logan came back to his senses and was about to leave the room to see Ileana and report the news to her.
"Why now?"
Antigonus asked calmly, "Are you reporting to the King of the Dead?"
Logan stopped, suppressing his fear he said, "That's right, I have to report such an important matter to the King and hear his order."
Antigonus said calmly, "And then what? What would the King do when he finds out? Trap my soul?"
Logan was showing a myriad of emotions, he did not respond. But the silence was enough said.
Since the fact that the Anitgonus survived was a huge news, if words got out, the world would tremble.
"Ha ha…"
Seeing as Logan agreed silently, Antigonus chuckled and said, "You're so loyal and responsible. But let me ask you, what do you get out of reporting this to the King?"
Well…
Logan mumbled under his breath without knowing what to say.
Antigone took a step forward, even though he was just a lost soul, his aura was terrifying as ever. "I'll answer that for you, after reporting this to the King, you'd be rewarded for a day tops. After that, you're still a mere envoy looking after this place, without going anywhere else. Am I right?"
"You…"
Logan felt complicated upon hearing that. "What exactly are you trying to say?
Logan looked over the Sixth Path of Reincarnation, whilst the Anitgonus was just a lost soul, his fate was in Logan's hands completely. But facing Antigonus, Logan felt utterly defeated for some reason.
That… was the power of the Archfiend Antigonus.
"Don't be nervous!"
Antigonus smiled as he softened his tone, "I was just calculating it for you, you won't get much in return if you rat me out. But if you work alongside me, that'll be a completely different story."
It was as if that sentence was enchanted, Logan's heart tightened and asked without thinking, "Work with you? How so?"
