Reunion

For a moment, Rachel made eye contact with Rodri, and her face twisted in disgust.

Ah, so he had feelings for her after all.

Before Justin could even respond, Derek swung his flail to the ground.

Thud!

"This bastard's been running his mouth since earlier. His attitude is weird too. Should I bash his head in once to make him behave?" Derek snarled.

Everyone flinched at the sound of the flail hitting the ground. Thanks to his increased strength from reaching level 19, the impact was enough to make the ground tremble.

"Derek, don't interrupt when your brother's talking," Justin said.

"But he keeps pissing me off. You saved his life, and he hasn't even thanked you."

"He just barely escaped death. People get disoriented sometimes."

Sure, in the chaos, it was possible to forget even the most basic gratitude.
