"Zion Leventis, I presume?" Khan asked as he observed the human boy who didn't look special in his eyes.
"That's right," Thirteen replied. "Truth be told, I'm surprised to hear that the leaders of the 12th Floor are very fluent in human language. You guys are very smart."
"Smarter than you, at least," Khan chuckled. "Because no sane human would dare to challenge someone like me, especially when they are as weak as you."
"You're not wrong," Thirteen nodded. "But, who said that I will be fighting you alone?"
The teenage boy and the King of the Apes held each other's gaze. To his surprise, the Grievefoot saw that there was no hint of fear in the teenage boy's eyes. On the contrary, there was even a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
It was as if he had everything under his control despite the fact that he was facing off against a monster who could kill him by simply spitting in his direction.
