Marla chuckled lightly, and with Gavinland's puzzled gaze, said softly, "Do you remember what I said just now? Jadka is the kind of person who is envied by heaven, and envy is not a positive emotion, which means he is not liked by this world."

"A genius is a lucky child favored by the world; a monster can also be tolerated or accepted. But someone like Jadka will make this world harbor malice, even hostility, against him, ha ha, perhaps because such a person is meant to disrupt balance. Anyway, Hopkins and I were quite out of balance back then."
