Chapter 14: Back Home
Nick walked back through the gates of War Beast Sanctuary, hiding his pained look from the loss of potential profit from his decision.
He knew hiding his emotions like this was likely unnecessary, considering he often entered the sanctuary with his full emotions on display countless times over the last three weeks, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
It was impossible for this incredible opportunity to be hidden forever. Nick knew that for sure, as all it took was 1 relatively powerful Altered to get bored or stumble their way into Vaylan forest for the existence of the Awakened Sabertooth Wolves to be revealed.
Hence, Nick wanted to maintain this advantage while it lasted.
For the time being, if anybody asked about his incredible speed, he would simply use the excuse of having heavenly luck.
He could pass the Sabertooth Wolf Beast Armament off as an Awakened Beast Armament, and simply say that he came across an injured Mutant beast, and finished it off.
It was a story riddled with holes, as were all stories, but it was something that occurred every day in the Beast Domain, so people wouldn’t get suspicious.
...If anything, they might get jealous and try something against him... but that was something for future Nick to worry about.
’Right now, I need to get back home before Luna wakes up!’
