Evan looked at Octavius with a blank look on his face.
"Y-you are finally here. I thought I was done for when the people who ca here in the past told you were dead," The old man said in a trembling voice, trying his best not to cry.
'What is going on? Did this old man smoke sothing illegal?' Evan was utterly dumbfounded when he saw the old man was on the verge of crying after seeing him and didn't understand what was happening.
Blaze and Walter were even more shocked than Evan because they couldn't understand why the old man was so happy after seeing Evan.
Of course, both of them recognized Evan's real identity as the person who stole the Enlightennt Stone from the Bloodmoon auction house and had a bounty of millions of high-level essence stones on his head.
As they saw Evan's real appearance, Blaze and Walter finally realized they were being deceived by him. Especially Blaze, who realized Evan was really just a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver and wasn't soone who was hiding his rank.
'If he is just a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver then how did he kill that beginner-level rank two demon in just a single punch...' Blaze thought with a stunned look on her face as she rembered how Evan killed the beginner-level rank two demon outside of the essence spring pond.
Evan felt Blaze and Walter's gaze on him, but he was not in the mood to entertain them as his mind was in complete chaos after hearing what Octavius said earlier.
'He was waiting for ?' Evan said inwardly and his mind ran at full speed, trying to understand what was going on.
In less than three seconds, he processed everything and reached a conclusion.
'This guy was killed... Or at the very least, his physical body was destroyed by the Shadow Monarch in the past, leaving behind only his soul. After destroying his physical body, that guy made a deal with this old man and now this old man is thinking I am the Shadow Monarch...' Evan said inwardly and glanced at the old man who was looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Seeing the way Octavius was looking at him, Evan sighed inwardly.
Honestly, considering everything that happened to him since the mont he awakened his Monarch Physique, he already realized that he might be the reincarnation of the Shadow Monarch but... Realizing sothing and accepting it were two different things.
He really didn't want to accept the fact that he is the reincarnation of soone else, after all, no one would be happy to find out that they are not really themselves but soone else.
But looking at the way Octavius was staring at him, Evan had no choice but to accept the fact that even if he is not the Shadow Monarch, he is definitely related to him very deeply.
'Ugh... This is complicated. I really don't want to beco like that guy...'
In his dreams, Evan saw the Shadow Monarch many tis and honestly speaking, they were not good mories.
In every mory Evan saw of him, he always felt like he was looking at an emotionless doll instead of a person.
Other than the tis he interacted with Anastasia, in all the other mories, he was like an emotionless person whose sole purpose was either to kill soone or destroy sothing.
'The way he acts is very similar to the way I act under the effect of the title "The Cursed One",' Evan suddenly thought when he rembered the cold, emotionless feeling he felt when his title "The Cursed One" reacted in the past.
"Seriously, sotis I feel like I would go crazy because of all of this sh*t..." Evan muttered in a low voice and rubbed his forehead. Just thinking about all of these matters was giving him a headache.
Seeing Evan was not saying anything, Octavius beca anxious.
"You... You didn't forget about our agreent, right?" He asked in a trembling voice as if he was afraid of sothing.
Evan stopped thinking about his life issues and looked at the trembling Octavius.
'Now what should I do?' Evan really had no idea what agreent the old man was talking about, and he was afraid that if he said sothing wrong, things might beco complicated.
Noticing Octavius's anxiety increasing due to his silence, he finally made up his mind.
"Why are you acting so anxious? Do you think soone of my level would go back on his words? If I didn't want to fulfilgreent with you, do you think I would have left you alive at that ti?" Evan asked in a neutral voice.
Hearing Evan's neutral voice, the old man shuddered and quickly shook his head.
"O-of course not, I know you would never go back on your words. After all, you are—"
"Stop your flattering..." Evan interrupted Octavius when he noticed the old man was about to reveal his identity.
He glanced in Blaze and Walter's direction and saw they were looking at everything with narrowed eyes. It was obvious that both of them realized sothing was wrong with him.
'I didn't ask Octavius to kick them out along with that fatty because I thought they would co in handy if this old man tried to do sothing, but I don't think I need to keep them here anymore...' Evan thought inwardly and looked at Octavius.
"Kick them out as well, we can't let other people know about the agreent, right?" Evan said in a neutral voice.
"Oh... You are right." Octavius nodded his head upon hearing Evan and snapped his fingers.
""Wai—"" Blaze and Walter were stunned when they heard Evan, but before they could protest, both of them were kicked out by Octavius.
Once Walter and Blaze disappeared, Octavius looked at Evan with anticipation as if he was waiting for sothing.
Seeing the old man's anticipatory look, Evan took a deep breath and a serious expression appeared on his face.
'It's ti to put my ability to spout bullsh*t to the test.' Evan thought inwardly and opened his mouth.
