"Here's his body," said Maxwell as he dumped a body on the ground as if getting rid of the trash.
"You didn't kill him, did you?" Alex asked, raising an eyebrow at the bruises that Eugene's body possessed.
"I just knocked him out," replied Maxwell. "For now. Can I torture him before we give him to Sarah?"
"Are you sure you're fine with torturing a former ally?" Alex inquired, an expression of surprise vivid on his face. "Many aren't."
"I am. I'll take care of him really well."
"All right," said Alex in a resigned tone. "I'll 'recruit' the guys from Eugene's platoon. Can you feed Eric some Stones of Soma?"
"From the stash?"
"From the stash," ordered Alex, nodding sorrowfully. Ad Astra had prepared a stash of Stones of Soma solely for their battle against the demon lord, but it seemed the stash would encounter a serious dent once they properly healed Eric.
