Chapter 99
"Cover Hunter, are you alright?"
Ryu Sunghyun rushed over, his face a mix of alarm and concern, and extended his hand.
Cover, who was sitting slumped atop the dead Leviathan’s head, felt a pang of emotion and was just about to take the offered hand—when another gloved hand suddenly shot out and seized her wrist.
"I have a question."
It was Eun Woojeong, intruding uninvited, gripping Cover’s wrist and bluntly asking:
"If I ask, will you answer me?"
"...What?"
"I’ve actually been meaning to ask you for a while. But after what just happened, I’m even more curious."
Dragged to her feet by sheer force, Cover narrowed her eyes at the amused voice. Eun Woojeong, keeping his grip on her wrist, spoke clearly enough for both Ryu Sunghyun and Kwon Taehyuk, who were standing nearby, to hear.
"Why don’t you use your skill?"
"......"
"I mean, fine, during a ranking match or a competitive event, you could argue your life wasn’t in danger... but just now, there was every reason to use it. Why endure it without activating anything?"
