Chapter 783 – Lust and Pride
Lux Vaelthorn usually walked like a man carrying three hundred spreadsheets in his head at once. Calm. Controlled. Perfect posture. That smug little CFO composure like nothing in the universe could shake him.
But today…
For a few minutes…
He looked like a kid.
A tired kid.
Asmo leaned back further in the chair.
"…Yeah."
He took another drink.
Then spoke to the empty terrace.
"Lucaris… wanna join me for a drink?"
The air shifted.
It didn't explode with dramatic magic.
Lucaris simply appeared.
Like he had been standing there the entire time and reality had just remembered to render him.
The Lord of Pride stepped forward with effortless elegance and sat down across the table, crossing one leg over the other like the chair had always belonged to him.
Perfect posture.
Perfect expression.
Perfectly unimpressed.
