Scarlett's eyes widened in shock and horror as she recalled the horrific events at the mall. The Axe Squad had stormed in, mercilessly killing people and capturing monsters, leaving behind a scene of bloodshed and chaos.
"The Axe Squad?!" she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief and a spark of fury. "How can that devil be a chosen member? He's not here to save people, he's here to slaughter them."
Ethan nodded grimly, his jaw clenched as he began pacing the room. "Yes, he's a chosen member, but his aim is twisted, completely different from the system's. His goal is to wipe out humanity, to let the world fall to ruin until only monsters remain. Then he'll crown himself their king."
Scarlett felt a chill run down her spine. She took a slow, deep breath, steadying herself. "He's not just a danger to us, he's a danger to everyone."
