"Hehe~ Yup, it's me, Shadow." The man chuckled.
Sefira remained cautious. Her eyes stayed fixed on the masked man.
"How did you do that?" she asked. "How did you know where Noah was? And how did you open that portal?"
The man looked at her. Although his face was hidden behind the mask, Sefira could somehow tell that he was smiling. He casually jumped down from the tree.
Thud!
His feet touched the ground without making much of an impact.
"Our deal was simple," Shadow said. "I help you, and in return, you help me when the time comes."
He took a few steps toward her.
"But I never agreed to explain how I knew where Noah was, where he had disappeared to, or how I managed to open a portal to that exact location."
Sefira's expression tightened.
Shadow continued.
"Just like the deal you made with that Morgana girl, I made a deal with you."
He sighed.
"Some things are better left unanswered."
