Thump thump…
Just then, a series of knocks came from outside the door.
Antigonus opened his eyes, holding back his anger to say, "Who is it?"
Despite not knowing who was outside, Antigonus could clearly sense that the man outside radiated a deep and steady aura, implying that he was quite powerful.
The voice responded, "It's me."
It was Tuji's voice.
Whew!
Antigonus' gaze flashed. He guessed immediately that Tuji was paying him a visit because he had heard of what happened earlier. Antigonus called out, wrapping his shoulder up with bandages quickly before opening the door.
Tuji stood outside silently, his expression calm and devoid of any anger or emotion.
Antigonus bowed respectfully. "Is something the matter, Master?"
As the Archfiend, Antigonus did not wish to call the man his Master at all. However, he had no choice, seeing as he lived in the man's territory.
Tuji chuckled lightly. "Haha! Oh, not much. I just heard from your Senior Sister Circe that you were attacked by our Wind Spirit Wolves earlier, so I thought I'd come over to check on you."
As he spoke, Tuji entered the room in big strides.
Antigonus hurried after him, pulling out a chair for Tuji to sit on.
Tuji cast a glance at Antigonus' wounded shoulder, speaking slowly. "Circe said that you were in quite a bit of danger, but you managed to save your life at the last second by communicating with the wolves in beast language."
Tuji's eyes did not leave Antigonus as he spoke, observing his every move.
Antigonus nodded, speaking in a sincere tone. "Yes. Things happened all of a sudden.I got quite the shock myself."
He was only saying so, sneering to himself internally.
'This old geezer seems to still suspect me.'
Tuji pondered upon Antigonus' response before continuing to ask, "I heard you learned beast language from a skilled wanderer of the world?"
