Azekiel stepped on the twelfth floor, finally leaving the safety of the eleventh floor that was provided to him.
As he stepped out of the portal, he didn't find anyone in the surroundings. He was somewhat expecting Zheng to be here, but it also made sense that he wasn't here.
Zheng waited for him for a long time. There was no way he was going to wait near the Portal since that held some risk for him.
Zheng was worried that if Azekiel saw him, he was going to enter the portal again, going back to the lower floor.
Azekiel felt like he was being watched, and it was definitely Zhang, but he wasn't showing himself.
'He is here but not coming out. It seems this idiot still hadn't changed. He needs to work on hiding his presence better. At least when he's trying to observe me,' Azekiel thought, shaking his head. 'I bet the idiot is waiting for me to step away from the portal before attacking me.'
