At this moment, Lotson suddenly shifted the topic.
"Yes."
Facing Lotson's inquiry, which seemed more certain than dubious, Link decisively admitted.
It was mere curiosity, and not something disgraceful.
"Do you want to know the answer?"
Lotson raised an eyebrow, and his expression, along with his tone, suddenly became somewhat frivolous.
He was just like a slick young man on the city streets who opens his coat to hawk shady DVDs lined along the interior.
"If you're willing to tell me, I'll listen. If you aren't, or if I have to agree to some condition to hear it, then I won't. You can either speak or not; the choice is yours."
Link gave his stance very directly, showing a tough attitude.
The tougher the attitude, the more it could overpower others.
Lotson was genuinely taken aback, with words stuck in his throat that he desperately wanted to spit out but couldn't.
From the exchange between the two, it was clear that Lotson had asked for the confrontation.
