Chapter 38: Reunion
"Help me cook, Kaiju." Griffin ignored the infuriated Qwanisha.
Kaiju’s eyes lit up and quickly dashed forward, helping Griffin add the ingredients meticulously. Kaiju learned the basic Cooking skill, not by Gacha Draws or buying from stores, but from Griffin. It was all because his intelligence increased, aiding him to learn skills. That was how a player should learn a skill inside a tower, by obtaining it through efforts, not by some lucky draws.
Qwanisha tried her best to restrain herself, though she had been drooling. Although Max was a good chief, it was nothing compared to the spoiled brat, who had been trained with survival skills ever since he was born. She was surprised to hear Griffin asking Kaiju to help him cook. She smiled.
She mumbled, "Griffin finally found a friend."
Qwanisha recalled how distant Griffin was. The entire time they first met, Griffin gave her a cold treatment, being silent all the time she was teaching them about the world of the Hellish Trial and how to survive. Out of the three, he was the most promising one. Qwanisha was glad they finally had a talented offensive player but his battle style, seemingly preferred to be alone, was also a headache. Hence, Qwanisha asked Max to adjust and be Griffin’s shield.
With Kaiju’s appearance, Qwanisha was assured that Griffin was still a human, possessing attachment. Perhaps, Griffin was looking for a brother, rather than be tempted by seductive women surrounding him.
Qwanisha sighed in relief and smiled. She turned her head and her pupils suddenly contracted like how a bird would stare at the horizon. All her mini pupils reflected shadows, the crown of trees, and blue and red moonlight gleaming through. Yet, her pupils turned green, reflecting a moving existence coming towards them.
She said, "Max is coming."
She then swept her gaze and landed on the west, seeing another figure leaping towards them. "Faith is, too, just that... she’s riding your monkey pet, Kaiju."
