A smile curled on Alvin's face, his golden hair cascading behind like splattered ink:
"Some Deity Keepers are indeed like that. Particularly in cities numbered 70 and above, the Deity Keepers' attitudes towards invaders can be quite hostile. I don't approve of their methods, but unfortunately, those territories are not under my control."
Alvin's words did little to ease Ethan's vigilance.
Phito's mental state was serene and warm, yet his actions were as devilish as could be, coveting the body of Daphne, whom Ethan deeply cherished.
Ethan had no desire for further dialogue with Alvin and went straight to the point: "Mr. Alvin, is it possible for you to awaken my friend?"
His eyes lingered on Daphne, sorrow etched on his face.
Alvin, observing Daphne, had a slight twinkle in his eyes -- the workings of his Power of Soul probing her body. "Yes, it's possible," he confirmed after a while.
