Terry did not respond to Leo's words, but only smiled lightly.
The moonlight is cool and the night breeze is cold like a boning knife, blowing the leaves around the trees and startling two migratory birds.
"It's hard to die, but it's even harder to live in this world."
After a long time, Terry spoke with a faint smile, "It is even harder to live a good life, and I have no way out."
That flat tone of voice made Leo confirm even more that Terry was simply fine and that everything that had happened before was a pretence.
"You mean that in order to live a better life, you must disguise yourself as an animal?"
Leo looked at Terry and asked.
Terry shook his head and said, "No, what you see now is the real me, the beastly looking me that you saw then is also the real me. It is just like a human illness, it can be shriveled up or it can be alive."
Leo's eyes instantly sharpened, as if he wanted to see through him.
Unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
"Don't try, I will appear before you to give you answers to your doubts."
Terry laughed, then looked at Leo and said, "The Phantom did fear that I would reveal any secrets before they experimented on me. The experiment was wonderful, like a long dream."
"I didn't die, they spared me and I returned to the Henderson’s, but according to my parents I became a beast without intelligence, they thought I would become a lowly beast for the rest of my life, but they were wrong. It wasn't long before I was back to my old self and returned to with their secret."
When talking about it, Terry's face is tinged with deep pride.
It was as if escaping from the Phantom alive was a matter of pride.
In fact, it's a proud thing indeed. Back then, Nadine was still being hunted down to this day in order to break away from the organisation, and it was only when she briefly rejoined the organisation that the hunting order was lifted.
The fact that Terry came out of the Phantom alive is a miracle in itself.
"What secrets have you discovered that the Phantom want to kill you to silence you?"
Leo asked as he stared at Terry.
Terry also looked at Leo, yet the next moment, he suddenly laughed.
Pointing to his nose, he laughed, "Leo, do I look silly?"
Leo's face changed slightly and he shook his head, "You're not stupid."
"Yes, I'm not stupid, so why should I tell you what I know?"
Terry looked at Leo with a smirk and asked rhetorically.
"......"
Leo's face changed and he asked, "Haven't you ever thought that the Phantom would one day make a move against Pompeii?"
"Yes, but even if everyone in the world died, what would that have to do with me?"
Terry asked rhetorically, his tone not at all like he was joking.
Thus, Leo knew him to be a man who sought the ultimate personal gain.
Even if the whole world is destroyed, as long as he is still alive, he will not care, as he did before when he traded Lydia to the Newman family as a bargaining chip for himself.
From the very beginning, Terry was a dangerous man.
This was never in doubt for Leo.
Taking a deep breath, Leo asked, "So, what do you want to exchange for what you know?"
Terry laughed with satisfaction and nodded with a smile, "That's right."
