Standing before a formidable opponent like Faith, he remained unconcerned, calmly facing every challenge.
But when confronted with Mera's silence, Kain felt a surge of apprehension.
He had meticulously calculated that this plan would be a win-win, with no one suffering losses. Mera was a reasonable person; she would surely understand why Myra did what she did. Myra would also achieve her desires, and their team would still secure victory.
Yet, sometimes, human psychology remained too difficult to fully grasp.
Kain, in the end, couldn't bear it.
He didn't want this incident to create a rift between Myra and Mera. Thus, he revealed the truth, taking all the blame upon himself.
Myra was not at fault; she was merely enticed by Faith, and the root cause of this situation stemmed from Kain's very first move.
In the end, Mera still said nothing.
Kain's expression darkened. It seemed his move not only failed to salvage the situation but made things somewhat messier.
