At the same time as he spoke, a pale-skinned and black-haired man in a long robe that covered his body revealed himself to Ackster and Trana. He also had slit pupils that looked at Ackster with a peculiar glow.
"Malzar! I thought you would still be hiding like a rat after Killgara beat the shit out of you."
'He said I interfered with his plans, right? What plans?'
Ackster's head remained calm as he tried to piece together the situation. Trana's hostility made it clear that Malzar was an enemy, or at least someone to be wary of. Ackster didn't want to confront him without knowing why or how to deal with him.
If Trana looked at Malzar with that attitude, it could only mean he was about as strong as her. If that were the case, Ackster didn't stand a chance against him.
