Leviathan (Part V)

[Charles POV]

"Are you done?"

"Of course I am. A man gotta rest for having this much action for one day."

"I see... That's a shame."

This project of mine was too ambitious. Ultimately, Eric could only do so much with this much power. I had too many expectations for the man in front of me.

"What do you think of dreams?"

"A different question this time?"

He has gotten cockier even since he just got the role of mayor. At least he wasn't in deep thought and refused to answer.

"Dreams? They're only something people would cling on to. If you don't got the talent for it, then it would be useless."

With how he was, his answer wasn't surprising. Everyone would likely have a different answer, depending on their lives.

"Then do you have a new dream?"

"Dream? Why would I need that? I can now be a king without anyone stopping me."

"I see... That's a shame."

Eric's brows furrowed, not understanding what I meant. Suddenly his eyes widened considerably, knowing what had happened.
