"So you're telling me..."
Darren leaned back in his chair, rubbing a hand over his bald head as he tried to process everything Ethan had just told him. The conversation had only lasted a few minutes, yet somehow every new detail sounded more unbelievable than the last.
"...that after getting released, you spent a month drunk off your ass, then awakened a Title, and now you're a famous B Rank who's been all over the news?"
Ethan simply shrugged.
"When you say it like that, it does sound a little ridiculous."
"A little?"
Darren let out a disbelieving laugh, shaking his head as though hoping it would somehow make the story sound more believable.
"I leave prison for a couple of weeks, and somehow you've become one of the biggest names in the country."
Ethan grinned.
"I've been keeping busy."
Without giving Darren a chance to dwell on it any longer, he pointed a finger back at the larger man.
