Chapter 55 - Neon's True Identity
'Is that really Neon?'
The man awkwardly waving his hand among the prisoners captured by the black-market traders.
Had it not been for that earring, he would have seemed so plain, so unremarkable, they might not have suspected a thing.
«...Ta, ta-daaa.»
Unlike the other prisoners, he didn't look like someone whose soul had been stolen.
Naturally so.
The "Angel's Earring" he wore would have easily detected — and neutralized — any hidden poison clauses in a contract.
Ranked 9th among the "Sky Beyond Sky."
There was no way the famed dungeon merchant Neon would ever fall prey to mere black-market traders.
'But then... why is Neon here?'
Neon was supposed to be a prime suspect — possibly even the true mastermind behind all this.
There was absolutely no reason he should be tied up among the prisoners.
Had the black-market traders lied?
Was the information wrong?
...No way to know yet.
