Chapter 315: Patience, my dear
"I threaten to kill the guy with the remote if he doesn’t stop his plans, and if he doesn’t give in to my threats and presses the button anyway, I’ll kill him so he can die alongside the both of them."
A moment of silence followed her words with Michael trying to understand what he just heard.
"Huh? I... I don’t understand. You would let Devon and his brother die?" Micheal asked in utter disbelief.
"Though it would hurt me a lot to lose them, I don’t think I would be able to look them in the eye if I was only able to save one of them." She said lowered her head. "Devon treasures his brother so he would want me to save him instead, but Damian also feels the same way. He’s weaker than his brother, so he would feel his brother deserved to live for the good of humanity,, and besides, I doubt he’d be able to live in a world where his brother was no longer around. So, in consideration of these things, I’d rather go after the scum who set it all up." She raised her head and smiled. "Sounds freaky, right?"
An abstract way of thinking. Michael did not expect that.
Slowly, he began to laugh. He clapped his hands as well and exclaimed,
"Truly extraordinary." He said. "Your way of thinking does not align with that of a hero, and yet you are a hero for wanting to save the brothers the trouble of heartache. It’s outstanding."
"Uh, thank you?" She said, unsure if to take that as a compliment
"So, Alice, would you like to walk around for a while before the destination is decided?" He asked her.
"I’ve been doing a lot of walking for a while now, but I guess it’ll be alright."
"Oh, you don’t have to worry. We won’t be using our feet." He said and she tilted her eyebrows.
