Didn't matter how powerful the god was—Alex wanted to be in control of his body 24/7.
No exceptions.
"So... what do you say? Will you still refuse the meeting?" Adam's voice held a faint edge now. Less polite. More curious. Maybe even a little desperate.
Alex didn't flinch.
"Yes."
Adam blinked.
"You're not even going to consider it?"
"Nope." Alex's tone was flat.
Final.
Like he'd already moved on in his head.
Adam stared for a beat, clearly not used to hearing no.
Especially not when the Dragon Emperor was involved.
A quiet moment passed.
Then Adam let out a breath and shifted gears.
"You're not a new realm player..." He squinted, really looking at Alex now. "So how the hell did you get so strong so fast?"
Alex shrugged like it was nothing.
"Strong? I don't consider myself strong."
Adam narrowed his eyes.
Yeah. He wasn't buying that for a second.
