Knifelord is surprisingly competent isn't he. He was able to infiltrate the secret base of the one who turned the world upside down alone in no time at all.
I would not be surprised when he take down the adult.
Aint the body they're dragging in Page 8 got the same hairstyle as Aki? Or is it just me that sees it? (I used Chapter 37 for comparison, seems damn similar)
So, this shitty adult made genetically subservient kids because he has no understanding of psychology whatsoever. He should have lied and easily gained Tora's trust and loyalty, but he couln't help bragging about his evil rapey plan.
