"Like... seriously? Gerard... did that? That guy?"
Leslie continued staring at Mimo, disbelief glinting in her eyes. Her mind replayed its words, reminding her of her encounter with Gerard around two months ago.
The man looked so unsightly as he ran away in fright, claiming he was haunted by the deceased Old Master Xu's ghost.
"I know that... he's a cannon fodder for this... story but, how could... he do something like... that? Wasn't he afraid... of Calix or others... finding out about it?"
Leslie admitted that cannon fodders were typically used to enhance the main characters' halos, showing the latter's credibility compared to the weaklings. This was a common setting in a story.
Still, Leslie couldn't help but wonder how could Gerard be so foolish.
Frowning, Leslie let out a sigh as a thought crossed her mind.
'He wanted to topple Calix. He thought Calix was lying about Calliope.'
