Simon glanced at the door which had cracks on it.
Even though the captain said that he and the First Hazard Officer should hold on for a minute, more than a minute had gone by but they were still outside and the door was still standing.
Simon had a few guesses as to why this was the case.
'Either Ossik is delaying them for some reason. The door is stronger than they expected which is not surprising since they're just Half-Step Greater Demons, or something else is at play.'
Simon decided to shift the conversation to something else that has been on his mind for some time now.
"I know that Ossik who is outside reports to the Sleeping Commander."
The Nethri Demon's expression changed slightly beneath his mask.
"You know about that?"
"I know a lot of things."
Simon shrugged, then he took a step forward.
"If the Sleeping Commander knows that the Eastern Hand intends to betray the Old Banner, why are you still alive?"
