"Xiao Huan, help me knock these people out..."

Looking at the nearly one hundred people he had pinned to the ground with his abilities, Ekalen whispered to his pocket.

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Huan's shrill voice entered Aikaren's mind.

"So you also consider me to be at the pinnacle of human combat power? I'm just an alien species breaking through to the 'Disaster' realm!"

"It would be fine if these people were all ordinary people, but even the weakest of them have a 'royal teacher' level. How am I supposed to hypnotize them?"

Faced with Xiao Huan's insults, Aikaren lowered her head in shame.

"But...I don't want to kill so many people..."

"Sigh, you're hopeless. You've been an assassin for five years, how can you still be so kind?"

Xiao Huan sighed.

"I can weaken these people's mental state a bit, so if you kick them in the head, they should be knocked out."

"Honestly, I have to help you even during your molting period. You're really a handful."

After Xiao Huan finished speaking, the hundred or so people who had been suppressed by Aikaren suddenly felt extremely dizzy, and some of them, who were already weak, fainted.

"Thanks!"

Aikalen expressed her heartfelt gratitude and summoned several floating bone clubs to knock out the remaining dozens of people.

Yaodi stood not far away, watching all of this unfold, and slowly walked forward, approaching Aikaren.

Aikaren noticed the other person approaching and immediately tensed up.

"What...what's wrong with you...?"

Yao Di first looked around at the nearly one thousand people killed by Aikaren and herself, and then at the dozens of people who had fainted in front of Aikaren.

Why let these dozens go?

Aikaren paused, lowered his head, and spoke in a very soft voice.

"Because I thought they might have parents or children, I couldn't bear to kill them..."

But you've already killed hundreds of people.

Aikaren pursed her lips. "I know they are all my enemies because we stand on different sides, but even as enemies, I want to kill as few people as possible."

He focused his gaze on the dozens of people who had fainted in front of him. "These dozens of people have lost the ability to resist. Even if I don't kill them, it won't cause any serious consequences."

"That's why... I didn't kill them..."

After saying that, he looked at Yaodi nervously, "Um... can you pretend you didn't see anything... and not kill these dozens of people? They won't do anything to us!"

Aikaren's earnest gaze pierced through the gaps in her bangs and fell into Yaodi's eyes.

She saw in those eyes...pleading, worried, sympathetic, and a complex emotion hidden deep within.

"good……"

She opened her lips and said yes.

"Okay, thank you!"

Aikalen breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her thanks, and after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly realized what was happening.

"You...you just spoke?"

Yao Di blinked in bewilderment, covered her mouth, and blushed deeply, equally shocked.

"I...I thought you wouldn't..."

Aikaren had only spoken halfway when she immediately realized that her words might be a bit impolite, and quickly stopped herself.

Yao Di didn't care at all. Her face turned red, and she lowered her head to take out the notice board again.

I'm not mute; I can speak.

She bit her lip hesitantly, but after glancing into Aikaren's sincere and shy eyes, her heart calmed down.

When I was little, my family favored boys over girls, and they named me this because they wanted a younger brother.

[Furthermore, my parents find it annoying when I talk. After my younger brother was born, they only talk to me when they're angry.]

When I was in school, they would ignore me when I spoke, so I gradually stopped talking.

Even through those few cold lines of text on the signboard, Aikaren could feel the suffocating state of her life.

They also sensed the sadness in Yaodi's heart as she explained the matter.

However, she smiled faintly again.

Because I always felt you wouldn't ignore what I said, I found myself responding to you without even realizing it.

It's been five years since I last spoke.

Aikalen blushed slightly and scratched her face a little embarrassedly.

"Really... Well, that's an honor..."

Aikaren clutched the hem of her clothes helplessly, feeling a mix of joy, nervousness, and embarrassment.

Yaodi was similar, with her head down and her small hands clasped together.

The two socially awkward people stood there awkwardly, neither of them breaking the silence. They felt a sweet warmth in their hearts, even though they were both embarrassed.

The pug, which had been lying in the pile of corpses nearby pretending to be dead, quietly poked its head out.

The big, round eyes lit up when it saw the two of them staring blankly, and it quickly kicked the long-haired man next to it with its short legs. The man had the same strength as it.

They almost kicked his head off, but the long-haired man didn't utter a sound.

It was only then that the pug realized that the long-haired man wasn't faking his death; he was really dead.

His two intelligent eyes darted around frantically, as if he were pondering what to do in his current situation.

The pug couldn't understand why, even though the fight had only lasted less than ten minutes, people from other areas hadn't come to help yet.

The person who cleans their own litter box said that if there's an emergency in one area, other areas will arrive to help within 5 minutes at the latest.

Where are they?

The main reason was that Aika and his companion were too powerful; those who were preparing to retreat and call for reinforcements were all killed before they could even leave.

After much deliberation, the pug finally decided that relying on a dog was better than relying on a human.

He crawled under the long-haired man's corpse like a toad, letting it completely cover him.
