Warlock Ch 70. The Life You've Always Wanted
Cassius regarded him in silence, his expression calm and unreadable as ever, but there was something… something like a shadow lurking in his gaze. Damian couldn't place it—was it hesitation? Regret? Or maybe something even deeper, a piece of a truth Cassius didn't want to share. For a split second, Damian thought maybe, just maybe, he'd finally get some real answers.
But then Cassius sighed, breaking the tension. "I'm sick of keeping you in the dark too, Damian," he said softly, his voice oddly resigned. "But... I have to. This might be the best way to give you the life you've always wanted. What I do, what I teach you, it's all to help you protect yourself. That's it."
Damian's jaw clenched as he took in Cassius's words. It sounded noble, but to him, it just felt like another excuse. He stayed quiet, letting his anger settle into something sharper, more controlled, his mouth twisting into a sarcastic smirk.
