Chapter 359: He was speaking in his head again
"Mark and I will go to the ’red zone’ and get at least one freshly killed monster."
"What?!" Mark exclaimed.
Devon looked at Mark. Wasn’t this the best thing to do? He was sure Mark would want nothing but the best for Alice but why was he so shocked?
Ah, he quickly realized that Mark was not the kind of Awakened who fought monsters. He was bad at it and even when his stats and class were high, he could not even think of taking on a monster.
But... Wasn’t it time to break out of that chain? How did he plan to protect Alice in the future if he could not even utilize his own power?
’Protect? That’s so arrogant of me.’ Devon thought. ’The only one doing the protecting would be Alice. The rest of us would just be a burden. But... It doesn’t mean we have to be weak and useless. If we can’t even watch our backs and rely on Alice to do most of the work, what does that make us?’
"The idea is quite good." Leo said. "If you can get a freshly killed monster, even better. But don’t bring the whole thing. At least, leave the head there. It’s unsightly and we won’t have anywhere to dump it after we’re done."
"Understood," Devon answered but Mark was still skeptical.
Devon answered to Leo well, even when Leo looked like he was the same age as Damian. It was probably because he knew that under that calm and pretty face, there was a power that he could never rival.
The power that made it fit for him to be with Alice at all times. The power that distinguished priority from feelings.
He liked Alice a lot, he really did. But how could he be of help to someone as amazing as her when he was this weak? He was an S-class, yes, one of the strongest humanity had to offer, but he could not even hold a candle to her.
