Wasted

Leonel's brothers looked toward him, but as expected, they were still a bit hesitant. They really didn't want Leonel to waste so much on them again. It just felt like a perpetual cycle that always led to failure.

First, they would end up in trouble that only Leonel could fix. He would then save them, then promise to make them stronger. Then they would be left behind him again because despite the number of resources he spent on them, it was all useless… they couldn't keep up with him.

Then, they would end up in trouble once again and could only wait to be saved.

This was the plight that they had to suffer through, and it was something they couldn't escape even when they wanted to.

Leonel shook his head, rising to his feet.

"This time… will truly be different."

His tears seemed to be burned away by a fiery heat.

"Let's go. Joel, you're up first."

They all exited the Segmented Cube at the same time.
