Chapter 382 Concrete_2

"However, Mr. Hermes, before that, we need to confirm one thing."

"What issue?"

"That is, regarding this guest from Mount Nysa... just to what extent can you intervene?"

There was no direct inquiry, but the two conversing knew well without saying.

From Laine's perspective, the reason Hermes appeared here with Lachesis was most likely because she had originally sought his help.

Yet, for some reason, the Great Alchemist had abandoned such actions and instead took initiative on his own.

From Hermes's perspective, the reason for his intervention here and now was also due to Lachesis's 'enemy' being present.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; should anything go awry, it's good to have a contingency plan.

Indeed, it turned out to be true; when the Gate of Starlight could not halt the poison of fate, Hermes received a timely reminder.
