Sally asked, "Don't you want to keep so for yourself? I don't need that many." Last ti, Sally had spent quite a while digging in the supermarket to collect 35 crystals. However, David had just given her 30 mutated crystals, which surprised Sally.
David didn't tell Sally about the storage space. His identity as a reincarnator and the existence of the system were his biggest secrets. He wouldn't reveal a single hint, even to soone close to him. "You don't have to worry about that. If you need more crystals, just ask ," he said.
Sally felt deeply moved by his words. David thought for a mont and continued in a low voice, "There's one more thing. I want you to keep an eye on Angus." Hearing the na "Angus," Sally furrowed her brow.
"Speaking of Angus, I always feel like he's not a good person," Sally remarked, and David smiled, acknowledging that Sally's intuition was quite accurate. Sally then asked, "You don't trust him either?"
David nodded, saying, "That's right. That's why I need you to watch over him. If he causes any trouble, you don't have to show him any rcy."
Angus was definitely no match for Sally. The gap between an ability user and an ordinary person was like an insurmountable chasm. The combat ability of an ordinary person was simply laughable in front of an ability user. David's concern was not for Sally but for Arnold and Sophie.
"Yes, I understand. Don't worry," Sally assured him.
David has given Sally just about enough instructions He stood up, put on a backpack, and prepared to leave. The backpack contained so food, water, and dical supplies. Of course, he used the backpack to conceal his true intentions. Although he had storage space, he didn't want to reveal it casually. "Then I'll get ready to leave."
Sally stood up and hugged David. "Co back soon, okay?"
David patted her back. "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible. Oh, and rember to feed the dog for ." Speaking of the dog, David looked at Little Black, who was still fast asleep in its doghouse.
To his surprise, Little Black had grown significantly overnight. Its growth rate was astonishing. The original dog cage was barely able to contain it. As its size increased, Little Black no longer had the round and cute appearance it had before. It now looked more like a genuine wolfhound.
"Arf?" Little Black seed to sense soone looking at it. When it opened its eyes and saw David, it just turned over and continued to sleep.
"Little Black is growing so fast," Sally exclaid, amazed by the change in its size.
David said, "It seems like it has undergone mutation, just like us."
Sally was astonished. "Animals can mutate too? Does that an they can develop abilities as well?"
David chuckled. "That's my guess. Otherwise, how could a dog grow so quickly?" David didn't explain further, knowing that Sally would gradually learn more in the future.
"Given its size, it should be able to eat at now. You can try feeding it so at today," David suggested to Sally, hoping that Little Black would develop a favorable impression of her. After all, Little Black was the number one combatant on the power rankings in SJ City.
After finishing the instructions, David bid farewell to Sally and opened the door to leave. As he walked to the middle of the hallway, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying from Angus' house. Since taking the gene potion, David's physical abilities, including his hearing, had improved. Additionally, with his awakened abilities, his overall physical qualities had further enhanced.I think you should take a look at
Although the sobbing was faint, David's exceptional hearing caught it. "What is Angus up to now?" Clearly, it was Zoe's crying.
David frowned. Usually, he wouldn't bother with such matters. However, he could tell that the Arnold couple took good care of Zoe. After hesitating for a mont, David decided to see what was going on. He walked up to Angus' door and gently knocked.
"Who is it?" Zoe seed startled from inside the room.
"It's , David." Upon hearing David's voice, Zoe let out a sigh of relief. She approached the door and opened it halfway, timidly looking at David.
"David, is there sothing wrong?" Zoe lowered her voice. "Angus is sleeping. Are you here to see him?"
David could sense that Zoe was sowhat afraid of him. He guessed it was because Zoe didn't want Angus to know she was talking to him.
Shaking his head, David replied, "I'm not looking for him. I heard you crying and ca to see what's going on." As David spoke, Zoe seed to recall her sorrow, and tears started flowing again.
"It's okay. We just had an argunt. He took the food to the bedroom and locked himself in, not letting in," Zoe explained. David noticed a red handprint on Zoe's face. "Did he hit you?"
Zoe showed a panicked expression and quickly shook her head. But seeing David's serious expression, she knew she couldn't hide it and nodded. "It's my fault. I disturbed him while he was sleeping."
David couldn't believe it. Zoe was quite timid. Not only had Angus hit her, but he also hadn't given her any food. David couldn't understand why she would still defend Angus.
Shaking his head helplessly, David told her, "Go and stay with Arnold and Sophie. I have an empty room there. Let them prepare so food for you, and tell them I instructed them to. You'll live there from now on. If Angus tries to bother you, let know."
To David's surprise, Zoe showed a conflicted expression. She looked back at the bedroom where Angus was and then at David. "I'm sorry, David, but I still want to stay with Angus."
David was amused by her response. "Do you have a problem with your brain? He hit you and didn't give you food, yet you still want to be with him? Do you think he will treat you like a human if you keep sacrificing yourself?"
Zoe lowered her head, wiped away her tears, but remained silent. Seeing her attitude, it seed like she had made up her mind to stick with Angus. David was speechless and didn't know what else to say. As they say, a pitiable person can be quite detestable. Since Zoe was so resolute, David no longer wanted to bother with her. It was her own choice.
"Never mind, do as you wish." David turned around to leave, but after so thought, he reached into his backpack and took out a few bread rolls and a bottle of water, placing them in the cabinet Angus used to block the door.
He gave these food items out of respect for Arnold. After setting down the food, David turned around and walked away, no longer paying attention to Zoe.
"Thank you..." Zoe watched David's departing figure, her expression sowhat complex.
