"Surprised? Just gotten started?" 

Jezebeth mumbled Ren's words over and over again while covering his mouth with his hand. As his whole body shook, his posture became increasingly hunched over.

"Kh…khh…k.." 

The words were so unexpected that he couldn't help but burst out laughing. 

His laughter started out as a series of muffled cries, but it quickly grew into something more. It wasn't a boisterous laugh, but it had a depth to it that reverberated throughout the world.

By the time he was done laughing, tears had formed in the corners of his eyes. 

"Now this…" 

He wiped the tears from his eyes, fixing his gaze on Ren. 

"This is the way things ought to play out. And here I was getting concerned that everything was going a little too smoothly for me."

Jezebeth felt genuinely relieved.

The scariest thing was the unknown. Something that Ren specialized in.
