Lainey Kessler showed no signs of fear, clearly having prepared his response beforehand.
He spoke with bitterness: "Mr. Raymond, do you believe I'm worthy of seeking vengeance against you now?"
I stayed quiet. While Lainey Kessler had a point, I couldn't trust what he was saying.
Who could possibly forget the hatred of their father's death and choose reconciliation instead?
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
Lainey Kessler replied earnestly: "Mr. Raymond, I require your assistance."
"You require my assistance?" I gazed at Lainey Kessler with a sarcastic grin.
Lainey Kessler gave a nod: "Indeed, I discovered a Mystic Realm in Hanah, but I lack the courage to venture in by myself."
"I have no acquaintances in Hanah, so when I learned of your arrival, I sought your aid."
Lainey Kessler seemed genuine, not appearing to be putting on an act.
I considered for a moment before saying: "Fine, where is this place?"
"Near the Riverside!" Lainey Kessler responded eagerly.
