Back in the abandoned alleyway, Nick glared at the rat in his hand.
"I wasn't focusing on this minion earlier," the rat said with a justifying tone. "If I had known that you captured one of my minions, I would have immediately tried to talk to you."
Nick just kept glaring at the rat.
The rat just looked nervously at Nick.
"We're buddies, right? Remember how I saved you from killing yourself? Remember when I told you what you can do about Julian's influence? Remember when I told you how to infiltrate the Spartans? Come on, we're on the same team here," it said.
Nick just kept glaring at it.
The rat seemed quite nervous.
The Parasite still had issues coming to terms with the new Crimson City.
The last time the Parasite had been in Crimson City was before the Crimson Sea broke out.
That had been around 14 years ago.
