Chapter 25: After Him! (1/2)

No one could refute Calvin's statement.

He was right.

But...

Scarlette approached him and asked, ”Why are you doing this for us? You clearly knew more about this place than us, yet why are you being so altruistic? You could've run by yourself and left us alone, yet why did you have to sacrifice your eye for our lives? Who are you to us, and who are we to you? Are we really that worth it?”

The newbies fell silent.

She was right.

Why was Calvin doing these to them?

Was it because it was just his nature to be kind and altruistic?

Impossible!

No one believed such a train of thought.

Even Hugo stared right at Calvin at this moment, his eyes seemed to be urging him to answer.

Calvin turned to look at Scarlette and smiled, ”Stupid... Do I need a reason to save a person? What's more, I just told you earlier that we are a team and if I abandoned you all as the leader. Wouldn't I lose my credibility? Wouldn't that be the same as me slapping my own face?”

”But...”

Calvin's reply thoroughly astonished everyone.

That's right.

Managing the team was the leader's responsibility.

Of course, the leader was also expected to sacrifice himself for the team.

”Wasn't this sacrifice too heavy?” Jane spoke up.

The others nodded their heads and Calvin dismissed them with a wave of his hand, ”As I said, an eye is nothing in exchange for our lives. If all of us can live, I can even sacrifice an arm or two!” Calvin's tone of voice was calm when he said all of these, for he knew that if he could enter the world of Las Felipinas...

He could restore all the damage that he suffered here in Mount Spirit Sword Asylum. However, these newbies didn't know that Calvin could do something like that, so when they heard what he said.

They were moved.

Both Zahra and Jane were moved to tears as well as Jannette.

Scarlette bit her lips and suppressed the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.

Nicholas, Philip, and Roy clenched their fists. They hated the fact that they were too scared to help their comrade.

Hugo turned around and pretended to wipe something off his nose, but he was wiping the tears welling up in his eyelids.

Rose bit her lips.

She handed over the small notebook to Calvin and said, ”Take this... and, I'm sorry that... I'm sorry that I behaved badly earlier.” She hung her head low out of shame and a blush appeared on her cheeks out of embarrassment.

Calvin revealed a bitter smile towards the reaction of the others, but when he saw how Rose deliberately apologized from the bottom of her heart. He was thoroughly astonished.

He thought that people like Rose would rather die than apologize for their mistake. But at this moment, she actually hung her head low and was sincerely apologizing to him?

What was going on?

'Could it be that I misjudged her attitude and personality?'

'That should be it. This is the first time that we met, so it's understandable that I know nothing about who she really is, and her true nature...'

Calvin revealed a smile.

He took the small notebook out of Rose's hands and said, ”Don't think about it anymore...”

”I have already forgotten what happened.”

Rose slowly raised her head, slightly bowing towards Calvin's direction. She said, ”Thank you. I will be more obedient from now on.”

”Hahaha... I don't need someone that's more obedient.” Calvin laughed, ”I need someone that's absolutely obedient, that is why when we come out of this bathroom. I want you to obey all of my instructions, no matter how strange it is. Can you do that? If not, I would rather have you stay in this bathroom until we return for the main elevator...”

”O-Okay...” Although shocked, Rose still gave a positive answer.

Calvin then swept his gaze at the others, ”How about you all? Can you promise me the same?”

The others nodded their heads, save for Medea who still had a frown on her face.

”What's wrong, Medea? Do you want to take a piss? It's all right, the stalls can be locked, and I promise you that we won't peek nor listen!” Calvin jokingly said.

”Pfft!”

Nicholas almost busted his guts and was about to laugh out loud when Medea's gaze landed on him.

He instantly fell silent and didn't dare to say anything at all.

Medea then turned her cold gaze at Calvin, ”How did you know what to do against that monster earlier?”

Calvin froze.
