After wandering and killing a few rats with other peoples Don noticed that his Agility and strength increased along with his durability. Don gained the strength to kill a rat with a one-punch and with level up he began acknowledging himself slightly, with his new stance he was battling with rats without his dagger

James was surprised after seeing Don's strength, he was suppressing Rats with his raw strength, James can't prevent himself from asking a question to a Maggy " Tell me honestly ...does he honestly have F-rank ?"

Maggy glimpses in front of Don while they were walking according to formation but this time Don was leading the way, behind him James and maggy, and lastly all the F-ranked heroes

Others are also suspicious about Don because of his unmatched strength, they were unsure about his rank because of his behavior and mysterious attitude.

commonly Every other Hero mostly decide to join the raid where the number of Higher rank heroes are highly present but in this case, they didn't see his name on top of them but his strength was giving the vibe that he was a higher ranker hero from the start

" Yes, he was certainly F ranked but.. " Maggy doubted because she was not sure about his character nor she has any idea why he was fighting rats with his bare hands unlike the last time when he was using his dagger constantly

" you also don't know about his abilities... I thought he is your boyfriend" James mumbled

Maggie's face become crimsoned,

" No.. he is not boyfriend "

James smiled teasingly

" Then why are you looking reddish "

Maggy instantly said " I am not "

Amidst their talking, Maggy bumped on the Don,

" I am sorry "

Don raised his hand as if he expected her to stay silent for a moment

" Did you noticed something? " James asked standing beside him, incapable to see in the dark

Don turned back at maggy ignoring James, front of them, three roads connecting to their tunnels with water tapping sound showing up from every possible direction of those three tunnels

" Close your eyes and focus on breathing "

Maggy stares at Don in confused expression but Don stared at her in the serious gaze she selected to follow his advice, another hand James was also wanted to see what he was teaching Maggy so he also closed his eyes, Other F ranked dumbfounded at the scene but nobody dared to make any noise.

After a few minutes, Maggy opened her eyes in fear but unable to understand what was the sensation she felt just now, but Before she talks Don Raise his hand so she does not disturb James

Shocked Expression noticeable on his face even after few more minutes and when he opened his eyes he shouted from excitement

" What is that thing... is that? "

Don added furthermore "Show me the way "

James points left side and look at don for confirmation, Don commented

" You are a quick learner "

Maggy and other heroes felt incompetent to understand what they are talking about until Maggy finally asked them " Can you tell us what's going on"

James briskly said " he wanted to teach you energy-sensing from afar but I comprehend it. "

Maggy apologized to Don " I am sorry-"

" No need for that.. you just have to practice it until you get better but the first thing was to believe in yourself " Don Drawled walking in the direction that James showed

James followed him along with Maggy, others can't help but wonder what the hell is going on, he was just an F-ranker like them but why both D-ranked heroes taking orders from him ...

subsequently walking for More than 20 minutes few people came in their views, they were Lying on the ground

James and Maggy shortly headed for them there were 6 E ranked heroes stained with bloody clothes however just 2 of them was alive with serious wounds

Other F rankers also moved to help them like Maggy and James except for Don, he was just standing there like a statue without showing any emotions

" Are you guys ok ...Tell us what happened to you? " Maggy trembled looking at them and without further delay wrapped her hand around the wound on the head of the boy

" they left us here to die, " One of the other guys fumed with anger holding his injured knees, and looks at the ground unable to meet gaze with James

" Don't worry buddy.. we are here " James brought out a medkit from his ring and gave it to others to apply on the wounds... as he surveyed the other four dead Heroes while closing their lifeless eyes

Maggy and other Heroes was helping these two guys when James stood close to Don In anger

" that bitch how can she leave people back "

" she did the right thing "

James gapes at Don in Unbelievable expression on his face and others glare at him but that doesn't change the casual expression on Dons face

" what do you mean by that," James asked Don as if he wanted an explanation from him for his harsh statement but Don didn't bother to say anything he was just looking at Maggy and lets out

" Are you coming or not? "

Maggy hesitated before saying anything " just a few moments "

Both of the injured heroes stood on the ground as F rankers came forward to supporting them

everyone commenced striding ahead without stopping in the tracks

When they arrived in front of the giant lair they saw familiar People standing in front of the entrance waiting for them

" oh, you guys came alive. I thought you were dead meat " Wendy ridiculed looking at two injured guys with others

" shut the fuck up bitch " the guy who got injured in the head cursed

Wendy furiously steps forward as she wanted to attack that guy " I guess you are tired of living your pitiful life "

James steps between them and looks at Wendy in a serious gaze " he is with us "

" oh do you think you guys can beat us " Wendy glances back at the other five E ranked heroes for supports, even they didn't want to support her they had to come forward for a fight as they thought.. she will exile them from a group

" one D rank and five E ranked heroes can you and your friend able to beat us " Wendy Created a hand blast on her palms

" He is not alone " remaining F ranked and two E ranked heroes came behind James for fight except Maggy and Don

" wow piece of trashes like you able to protect him " wendy glared at them in deadly gaze, when other low rankers heroes felt her killing intent they began trembling in fear, after all, she was D ranked, hero

" Are you looking down on us " This time Maggy steps forward with a serious smile like any time she was gonna teach wendy a lesson that she will never forget

after seeing Maggy another D rank hero also came to protect them, E rankers who was beside Wendy changed their course of action, They went over that side opposite of wendy

" wise decision, " Maggy said to others

Wendy glared at others

" You traitors ...if you dare to disobey me ... "

" shut your mouth ...girl or this time I will smash your ugly face " Maggy roared

" Well, I guess I am a leader now," James said looking at every hero standing behind his back

Wendy gritted her teeth as she glared at maggy Suddenly behind the wendy, the Two pairs of red glowing eyes could be seen in the dark, and surprisingly these eyes were three times bigger than other rats...

James instantly attacked that direction but unfortunately, his fireball has missed the target however they could able to see a glimpse of the running giant rat in his lair...
