There was a tense silence hanging in the air, between Simon, Merath, and Jorra.
Simon stared indifferently at the stunned duo, but the gears in his mind were working at full speed.
He had taken a gamble, a gamble that could either work or backfire terribly.
Instead of exposing the fact that he knew about Daemons or instead of acting ignorant, he decided to take the initiative.
He decided to change the flow of the game because he needed information and he wanted to be in control.
Deciding to be ignorant might make Merath and Jorra to leave him alone, but that also meant that he'd remain ignorant.
Merath and Jorra could also come for him later, and their next confrontation might be more violent.
Choosing to be ignorant left him in a passive position and it also meant he'd have no choice but to remain ignorant, not knowing why exactly Jorra and Merath wanted to know the status of Thorgan.
He didn't want this.
The looming threat of the Soul Mirror Demon.
