The changes in Colonel Norrett's presence left a deep impression on Khan's mind. He wasn't only overflowing with mana. He was also tense, even if a thick layer of resolve tried to hide that feeling.
"I tried," Khan responded. "No one could keep up with me."
"I'm starting to like his guts," Major General Arngan exclaimed, resuming sizing Khan.
"He is right," Colonel Norrett admitted, walking toward the General but keeping his gaze on Khan. "At least you got the girl, right?"
In different circumstances, Khan might have reacted poorly to the question. However, Colonel Norrett was a friend, and his slightly disrespectful words mostly had his tension to blame.
"She was already mine," Khan replied, smirking.
"I admit I followed the matter closely," Colonel Norrett stated. "It was good entertainment."
"Not for me," Khan revealed, "But those problems are behind me now."
