I don't welcome you here

"Zara?"

Bruce, in Jesse's eyes, was undoubtedly a reincarnator.

Not only did he steal his woman, but also his sword.

He even knew to have Cynthia use her ability to help him find crystal nuclei?

The grievances from their past lives made this life undoubtedly a fight to the death.

So when Jesse saw Bruce approaching, he was already on guard.

But he never expected that the first person knocking on his door wouldn't be Bruce, but Zara?

What's going on?

"Jesse, what are you doing? Hurry up and open the door."

Seeing no response from Jesse, Zara became impatient.

She had thought that Jesse, suddenly rising from being a loser, had the courage to kill monsters and save her?

She didn't expect him to still be the same useless loser from before.

At this moment, Zara had tidied herself up.

She had tied her hair and changed into summer sportswear: a white short-sleeved T-shirt, black sports pants, and sneakers.

At 170cm tall, she was taller than Cynthia and Joanne.

 With perfect curves and a pair of long legs, she could be considered to have a model's body.

The only downside was that Bruce hadn't given her a bath yet, and Cynthia couldn't use her ability to clean her body at this time.

So, the odor emanating from her body still made Bruce hesitate.

Of course, she didn't care about that now.

As long as Bruce was willing to take her away from here, nothing else mattered.

"You can leave, I don't welcome you here!"

Jesse directly closed the door on her face!

Comparatively, Jesse's feelings were also complicated.

Originally, he had planned to rescue Zara and then give this 'green tea bitch' a good slap in the face.

 Then he would use food as bait to humiliate her properly and settle all the scores from their past lives.

But Bruce's appearance disrupted all his plans.

Now, asking him to open the door?Forget about it.

"Jesse... What do you mean?"

Hearing Jesse's words, Zara was stunned. She never expected Jesse to speak to her like this.

Where was the Jesse who used to be her lapdog? The one who would message her endlessly every day, telling her to drink more hot water??

"The literal meaning."

Jesse's expression was indifferent, paying no attention to Zara's change in tone.

"Fine, whatever!" Zara laughed in frustration. "I don't need you to open the door. I didn't even plan on coming in anyway. I thought you had become capable now, coming here to rescue me? But it seems you're still just a useless loser!"

"I officially inform you that we're breaking up. From today onwards, I'm Young Master Bruce's girlfriend..."

As these words came out, Jesse's heart tightened. Even though he had long lost any feelings for Zara, hearing her express her affection for Bruce made him want to explode.

This woman... does she have no shame anymore?

"Goodbye, then. No need to see you off," Jesse forced back his anger.

"Just go if you want to go!"

Zara stamped her foot in anger.

But as she thought about how Jesse hadn't even come to rescue her when he was right there, she felt no remorse. She turned around and walked straight behind Bruce.

Standing beside Jesse, Debby, and Duane listened to the conversation between the two with confusion.

As Zara's boyfriend, shouldn't Jesse have at least tried to save her when she was in danger? And now he was looking down on her?

After being rescued, breaking up with him seemed like the logical thing to do, right?

Why was it being made out like she did something wrong?

Wait, hold on...

Did Zara just say she's Young Master Bruce's girlfriend?

Shouldn't Young Master Bruce's girlfriend be Cynthia, who was with him?

How did it suddenly become Zara?

Just as everyone was surprised, Bruce's voice calmly rang out.

"Jesse, how many people are inside?" Bruce asked, already knowing the answer thanks to his perception jade pendant.Jesse simply didn't want to engage with Bruce.

"What's it to you?"

Bruce didn't mind and continued, "It's dangerous outside now. Aren't you planning to come out and join everyone?"

"Join you?" Jesse couldn't help but laugh. "Are you kidding me?"

"Jesse!" Bruce chuckled. "I understand that you still harbor resentment from our previous encounter in the secret realm. I get it!"

"But as a man, I think you should prioritize the bigger picture! Don't you think so?"

"Save your breath!"

Seeing Bruce so composed, Jesse couldn't contain his anger. "Bruce, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Either break in right now, or stop pretending. I find you disgusting!"

"Break in? Why would I break in? Jesse, are you misunderstanding something? Forget it, since you're not willing to join the others, I won't force you."

Bruce gestured as if to leave but then seemed to remember something. "By the way, what about your classmates? Aren't they coming out too?"

"No! Way!"

Jesse's words were deliberate and firm.

He knew Bruce had already gone to Zara's dorm across the hall, so it was normal for Bruce to know he had some companions.

"Alright then!"

Bruce shrugged and said no more.

He neither broke in nor showed any intention to harm. Instead, he simply led Zara downstairs.

Sensing Bruce's departure, Jesse breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems my guess was right? He won't lay a hand on me in front of so many survivors if we don't have a conflict? Heh, such hypocrisy..."

As Jesse muttered to himself, his teammates' moods became less cheerful.

Sure, Jesse was their leader, but shouldn't he have consulted them before making decisions?

And from their perspective, Bruce didn't seem malicious at all. Why did Jesse harbor such hostility towards him?

In truth, Jesse did want to ask for their opinions!Instead, he knew Bruce was a dangerous person.

His few teammates clearly had some inclination towards Bruce in their hearts.

If he were to ask, Bruce could easily sway them to his side.

Then he would truly be left isolated and helpless!

"Jesse! It looks like he just walked off with your girlfriend... Aren't you angry?"

As Jesse pondered, Duane's words snapped him out of his thoughts.

"What's there to be angry about?" Jesse retorted.

Compared to Zara, it was Cynthia's actions that angered him more.

What's the point of caring about a more insignificant betrayal when she's already done the worst?

But seeing Jesse's indifference, Duane couldn't believe it. "But she's the goddess you've been chasing for so long? How can you just let it go?"

"I don't have the energy to deal with you!"

Jesse glanced at him and ignored Duane completely.

He found a corner bed and lay down, closing his eyes to rest.

His attitude made his teammates very uncomfortable.

In fact, some of them were starting to have other thoughts.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Bruce had a smile on his face.

"It seems he's run out of cards. But just to be safe, it's better to let those cannon fodder go first."

"Young Master Bruce, what are you smiling about?"

Seeing Bruce's smile, Zara couldn't help but ask.

Bruce snapped out of his thoughts. "Nothing, let's go!"

Jesse was the protagonist of the post-apocalyptic rebirth.

He was the chosen one.

So Bruce was very cautious when dealing with him.

Even if Bruce felt confident that his combat power was superior to Jesse's, he dared not be careless.

He feared Jesse might have some hidden cards up his sleeve.

But now that Jesse was staying put in his dorm, Bruce felt relieved.

As Bruce led Zara downstairs, in the dormitory below where Jesse was,

Two students, a boy and a girl lying on the bed, the girl with a sob in her voice said to Joanne, "What should we do? Teacher Joanne, Anastasia ... she's fading fast!"
