His unexpected response left Xanthus completely baffled for a few seconds. He narrowed a frigid glare through his golden eyes straight into Noah and without leaning away from him, he asked again, "What?"
On the other hand, fear, panic, and anxiety had pushed Noah to the utmost limit, forcing him to use this excuse as his only way to pave the path to survival.
Even Kirin was reluctant to believe that he had really come from an unknown world and got trapped in Sheoran's body, so it was futile for him to expect Xanthus won't probably give a damn about his explanation either. In the worst scenario, he might really end up pulling out his tongue just as he warned.
As for Noah, it was hard for him to assume Xanthus was a sane person anymore, considering the terrible impression he had of him since their first meeting.
