The moment Asmodeus saw Paul and Simon, he felt like his mind returned to his immature state almost half a year ago. Happiness, excitement and worry flashed through his mind.
These emotions caused him to almost leap from the table and hug the two men. Although he had only met these two a few times, and they had not met in months, he could not deny that he had missed them.
They were two different people: Paul, the protector who was in the prime of his life and made Asmodeus feel like he gained a big brother, or caring uncle. Then there was Simon, the sly one, lacking confidence in his abilities as a leader, yet he was kind and warm to Asmodeus when he first joined them.
"Paul, Simon!!" He couldn't resist and hugged the two men who were now shorter than him in his muscular arms.
"Haha, Asmodeus, calm down, buddy." Paul patted him on the shoulder when Asmodeus pulled away from him and gazed into Paul's eyes with admiration.
