"Anyway, it's your turn. How do you know that guy? Mr. Passerby!" Lear asked calmly.

"It's not about trust and stop acting like that. What you said was something that anyone could find easily. Your acting ain't gonna work on me." Max replied calmly.

"Tsk...you are a tough nut to crack. No wonder you survived the Arcane incident. My brother too made it only by the breadth of a hair." Lear replied while clicking his tongue.

"Your brother?" Max asked with raised brows. He suddenly felt an ominous foreboding.
