"It seemed he really was important to you, Xiuluo." Boluoye spoke in a deeply meaningful tone.
Previously, it had tried every possible means to stop the Inspector from shrinking the space, all to no avail. But now, the moment Angel was involved, the effect was immediate.
Others might not understand why the Inspector would value Angel so highly. But Boluoye understood. The Inspector surely knew of Angel's mysterious talent; as a member of the Order Guild, how could he not vigorously recruit Angel? To protect Angel, the Inspector had blocked Boluoye's advance and had even been willing to stop shrinking the space.
Boluoye understood all of this perfectly, but it had to pretend it did not. It was determined to obtain Angel, and before that happened, it did not want to expose its intentions and make the Inspector wary in advance.
As for Angel's own opinion... Heh, did that matter?
The Inspector did not know what Boluoye was thinking, but he knew Boluoye had definitely misunderstood something... The sudden halt of the spatial constriction had not been his doing.
His Distorted Domain merely served as cover for Angel's Green Pattern Domain Field. The true force behind the shrinking space had been the Green Pattern Domain Field. Now that the Green Pattern Domain Field had abruptly stopped, his Distorted Domain naturally stopped along with it.
The Inspector simply did not understand why Angel had chosen this moment to stop. It made it seem as though he had truly stopped because of Boluoye.
Though the Inspector did not mind taking the blame, it still felt rather awkward, especially with Boluoye staring at him with that strange gaze. It made him even more uncomfortable.
Yet he could not explain himself. He could only glance silently at Angel and sigh helplessly within his heart.
