Chapter 399 Isll be waiting (1/2)

Rachel was running through the hallways of the broken base, retracing her steps towards the place she last saw her father. When she got to the place he last saw him, the shutter doors were still closed, but unlike before this thing wasn't going to stop her. Rachel activated her [ability] and punched the shutter doors with burning flames, melting the door.

...

While Alex and the others were trying to catch up to Rachel, Oliver saw something in one of the rooms. He stopped running, which made everyone except for Alex to stop running as well.

”Oliver, what's wrong?” Sayaka asked.

”You guys go ahead, I want to check something out.”

”Are you going to be okay?” Niel who also noticed what was inside those rooms had a few guesses as to why Oliver wanted to look. Knowing how extremely perceptive Niel was, Oliver, nodded his head and answered, ”Yeah, I'm going to be okay.”

”I see...” After saying that Niel and the others left, except for Sayaka who stood beside him.

”You can go ahead, I'll catch up in a bit.” Sayaka shook her head and answered, ”I'm staying with you Oly. The whole reason I even went here was for you. Of course, I also came for Alex and the others, but my main reason is you and always will be you. Now that I can finally touch you and see you, I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again!”

Oliver looked at Sayaka surprised by her sudden outburst. After the shock passed Oliver smiled at Sayaka and said, ”sure, then we'll be together forever from this point onward.”

Hearing Oliver's answer Sayaka hugged Oliver and almost cried. This was close enough that you could even call it a proposal.

...

While Oliver and Sayaka were having their lovey-dovey moment, Rachel was finally able to destroy the shutter door. As she was about to enter, Alex was finally able to catch up and stood in front of Rachel blocking her path.

”What are you doing Alex?” Rachel spoke with a bit of annoyance in her tone.

”Please, allow me to look at it first.”

”Why?!”

”Please, just allow me to do this. I just want to check the surrounding area, and see that there's no traps or monsters.”

”You do know, right now I'm currently as strong or even stronger than you.”

”You might have gained an [Ability] that enhances your destructive power, but my overall stats are still higher than yours.”
