At this, Michael smiled and said, "Since we're friends now, of course I came to chat."
Honestly, his purpose for this visit was indeed to chat, not out of any special reason, but purely because he found Ahtal rather interesting.
Xi Mu nodded, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Hmm, how about we talk about life's ambitions?" Michael thought for a moment and asked tentatively. He was curious about what sort of ideals a well-known Hero like Ahtal might have, seeing as he basically possessed everything that people desired.
Xi Mu feigned deep thought and then responded, "Does wanting to become a Demon count as a life's ambition?"
Michael: "..."
Before Ahtal could reply, he had imagined several possible answers and was ready to engage in conversation with each one to bring himself closer to Ahtal.
However, the answer Ahtal provided was unexpectedly honest. Desiring to become a Demon was something one would think but never say outright.
