Bali looked at Varian without any expression. The last time he saw him, they parted on okay terms.
Back then, Bali was slightly pissed off that Varian took him on a mission to Pluto despite being only a level 6. And ended up nearly killing everyone.
He thought after such a near-death experience, Varian would be careful and retreat.
But Varian went ahead and destroyed the Gamma expo, killed Charles in the Ruins, massacred Abyssal genius, killed a fucking Sovereign and took the veteran level 9s, and oversaw the slaughter of tens of millions of Abyssals.
Bali rubbed his forehead as he felt a huge headache regarding the young man in front of him.
Looking at Varian's smile, his lips twitched and he asked. "Why do you always keep courting death?"
Varian blinked twice at him, seemingly confused if what he heard was right. Then, he took a seat in front of Bali and gave an innocent smile. "I don't. I just take the decisions I have to."
