The gray-robed figure looked at him like he was slow.
"Of course he causes chaos," he said. "That is what he is."
His eyes sharpened.
"But do you really think we would release something we cannot control?"
This was something Brian had been concerned about before.
Why would the demonic faction let such a monster loose?
He understood part of the reasoning, but it still seemed insane. For a moment, he wondered if the rumors outside were true, if this group was nothing more than a nest of schemes and internal politics. Yet hearing the gray-robed figure speak now, a thought he had never dared to entertain before crept into his mind.
Brian's eyes narrowed. "You are saying… you can control him?"
The gray-robed figure laughed softly, the sound dry and amused.
"In a way," he said. "Yes."
"In a way?" Brian pressed. "An almost Emperor class demon is not something you half control."
The man turned his head slightly, glancing back at Brian as if indulging a slow student.
