Closing the door, I stood in the hallway, lost in contemplation.
The deal with Nemur had been a lucky encounter.
But it had taught me one thing for sure—
I had to grow stronger.
And at a much faster pace.
Nemur was a smart fellow, with good control over his emotions and… ego.
Off the chance he had been even a little unstable… I would have found myself in a far worse situation.
Nemur knew the consequences of using brutal means with me… But it was his patience that had stopped him from doing something stupid.
It didn't matter what consequences he would have suffered had he killed me in his rage… Once I was dead… It meant being dead.
There was no second chance.
My life was on a gamble… which I won—purely by luck.
I won't praise my analytical skills and the way I handled the situation.
It might have looked like a strategic win for others, but I knew better.
It was Nemur's logical approach that had saved my life today.
