Chapter 890: Guest

Lilian stared at John for a moment before nodding her head approvingly. 

"Good. It seems your victory did not go to your head and you still know how to show your master the proper respect," she said half in jest. 

It would be easy, even expected, for a genius of John's caliber to get a swollen ego and look down on all others, but John never did that. Lilian found that honest sincerity to be much to her liking. 

"I take it that you managed to absorb the seed?" John asked.

"I did," Lilian confirmed, "but I'm still a bit confused on how that came to be. You said you claimed the treasure, which I can only assume is the World Dimension Seed, and yet I was taken there to do the same. So, did you receive a different treasure, or?" Her question trailed off. 

"I'll explain it at a later time," John said dismissively. It wasn't important enough to discuss at the moment. 

Lilian eyed him for a moment and then nodded.
