Compared to Adam, Regan was much more invested in their relationship.
It was an unavoidable reality.
Herrian Port appeared to be thriving, with businesses flourishing in every corner, seemingly an ideal place to be.
However, beneath this prosperous façade lay a myriad of power-hungry elites and privileged classes.
In such a place, without powerful connections and backers, even wealth could not guarantee security.
That's why Regan had tried so hard to maintain his standing as a student of Hodge Academy.
Only by keeping this status could he continue doing what he wanted in Herrian Port, and even use it to pressure others, making him part of the privileged class.
But clearly, a mere connection to Hodge Academy was not enough in a place full of influential people like Herrian Port.
Thus, he needed to find someone with even more clout.
And in Regan's eyes, Adam was that person.
So, Regan tried to build a closer relationship with Adam in order to establish a long-lasting bond.
