Caelus chuckled. "So it really was your Talent."
"Looks like I was right."
Mason scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "How was I supposed to tell something like that to a complete stranger?"
"Especially when you're a player."
Caelus nodded. "Fair enough."
He understood Mason's reasoning completely. Revealing a valuable Talent to strangers was dangerous in this world.
Mason relaxed slightly seeing Caelus wasn't upset. "Thank you for understanding, sir."
"Once again, don't let this defeat you."
"Get stronger."
"The next time someone comes after your family, make sure they're the ones regretting it."
Mason quietly nodded. His expression was still heavy, but he finally had a direction.
"I will."
"I'll become stronger."
Before leaving, Caelus smiled. "Be back at the market tomorrow."
"I'll stop by."
Mason nodded without hesitation. "I'll be there."
The atmosphere finally became lighter. Caelus turned and began walking away with Sylvia following beside him.
