"Even if these people were once underlings of the 'antagonist', it's all the same, and in fact, the effect will be even better!"
"Moreover, this is just the beginning."
"When the 'ritual' is truly complete, they will be one hundred percent loyal to me, then, more people will join this queue, seeing it as an honor."
'Edward' explained to Jason, his tone full of self-satisfaction.
Jason frowned.
The 'Edward' before him was behaving abnormally.
Considering the other party's arrangement, he was a meticulous person. Would such a person kindly explain to him?
And with a sense of bragging?
Absolutely not!
This was not characteristic of the other party.
Unless...
"You're explaining this to me as part of the 'ritual'?"
Jason asked.
"Of course."
"I must say I'm surprised by your intelligence once again."
"Too bad I am the 'protagonist', and you are the 'antagonist'. As the 'ritual' continues to proceed, you will certainly become brainless, impulsive."
