Run Away

Alex readied his pill to throw at the woman the moment she showed any sign of distraction. But to his surprise, she completely left him and flew back toward her master.

Alex was left alone, free to leave if he wanted to.

He was a little confused. Was he safe? Maybe he should leave. He took out the Immortal ship he got from Scarlet and got on it. 

However, right before he left, he turned back around to look at Elder Lan.

If the woman joined the fight, he would be fighting the two alone. Even if Elder Lan could ignore the disciple's attack, her presence would be a detriment to his fighting capacity.

'Dammit!' Alex cursed. He knew he needed to run away, but letting the man die now after everything just didn't sit right with him.

"Fuck!" 

He put away the ship and went back toward the fight.
