"I was just asking."

Percieval stared at him.

He seemed to doubt whether Neo would truly work with them.

Silence settled between them for a few moments.

"What is your mission, Neo?" Olivia questioned, and continued the conversation naturally.

"Blood Sea War is going to happen within a few years. Our continent will be invaded by monsters of Tartarus.

"My mission is to delay the war and to stop it from happening if possible," Neo said.

For a moment, he wondered if the others would catch his lie.

Thankfully, it seemed they were used to Sphinx assigning them strange missions.

They did not question the authenticity of Neo's words.

"Blood Sea War…"

Olivia's gaze clouded with emotion.

She clenched her fists as if struggling to hold back words.

In the end, she remained silent.

"How many monsters will invade?" Nicolas asked.
