"You want to fight?" Shin asked with a smile.
Shaka replied calmly, "The Gold Cloth is the most important thing in Sanctuary. It cannot be lost."
Tilting his head, Shin showed no sign of nervousness as he smiled. "Don't be so serious. Come to think of it, shouldn't Athena be the most important thing in Sanctuary? You people could even assassinate her, so what's one Gold Cloth... mmph!"
Shin did not get to finish, because the other man's chakra had already transformed into a sharp ray of light and shot toward him, forcing him to dodge in haste.
"What do you know?!" Shaka's voice wavered for the first time, showing just how greatly Shin's words had shaken him.
Seeing his expression, Shin revealed a strange smile and suddenly said, "Looks like I may have misunderstood some things. By the way, do you know a brat named Seiya?"
"Seiya?" Shaka frowned. "Who is that?"
A look of understanding appeared on Shin's face. It seemed he had misjudged the point in time when Sanctuary had been pulled here. Judging from Shaka's reaction, their world had probably not yet reached the beginning of its story. No wonder the Gold Cloth had been preserved so completely.
"Forget it. You should know something yourself. But now that you've come to this world, there's no point dwelling on old matters from your previous world. People need to look ahead. The Cancer Gold Cloth is in my hands. If you want it back, that depends on your sincerity. Have the Pope come negotiate with me personally." Shin waved a hand, signaling that the conversation was over.
Shaka raised the prayer beads in his hand, his tone returning to calm. "Do you insist on this, sir?"
Shin narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing at the corner
