Chapter 1828

Kyra gazed at the sun with a smile. "Maybe I've been hiding behind a mask for too long, but I need friends. Do you understand the kind of deep-set loneliness in the furthest corner of your heart?" Wilbur looked at Kyra. Despite not knowing what Kyra's goal was, Wilbur's time in the Abyss Mercenaries had given him a rather pragmatic view of life. It was best not to trust anyone too much, regardless of what you were doing. Some people might have their loyalty bound to a different group, pouring their hearts out to you one second and trying to kill you the next. Kyra had not revealed her identity from the start, and thus Wilbur knew that he could not drop all his defenses around her. This friendship between the both of them was just a form of protection from each other. However, the price to pay for wanting to win the battle against Cametra and its two major factions would go beyond what Wilbur was willing to pay. Thus, Wilbur was willing to take the chance since Kyra had offered.
