After hearing these words, her pupils, which had previously lost their light, regained some of their luster.
"Well, but since they've all moved away, you probably won't be able to find your home even if you go back now."
Chen Hao sat down and poured himself a glass of water. It was hot water that had been delivered earlier. Although it had gotten a little cold after so much time, it didn't matter. The main purpose of asking for hot water was to use the high temperature generated when boiling the water to kill the toxins in it.
"As long as the clansmen are all safe... Setsuna is just a useless piece of trash... Even if he goes back, he'll only be a burden to everyone... Thank you for telling me about the clansmen, Lord Chen Hao."
She forced back her tears, wiping them away with her hands. Knowing that her people were all safe, she should be happy. Thinking this, she wanted to laugh, but could only manage a complex smile that was a mixture of joy and bitterness.
"Your name is Setsuna? Not bad. Since you can't find your clansmen anymore, why don't you come with me from now on?"
Chen Hao smiled and extended an invitation to Shana.
"No need, thank you for your kindness, but Setsuna is just a piece of trash with a level cap of only seven, and can't be of any help to Lord Chen Hao."
As Setsuna wiped away her tears, she spoke words of refusal. Besides her inferiority complex, there were other factors at play. As someone who had been persecuted by humans in the past, she didn't want to be with this human, even if he might be a good person.
Now that I know my people are safe and I have no more worries, I might as well face death peacefully...
"Is Setsuna troubled by this? What if I told you I could help you raise your level cap?"
With a smile on his face, Chen Hao uttered a temptation that Shana could not refuse.
"Raise... the level cap?"
For a moment, she stared blankly at the calm smile on Chen Haojun's handsome face. He seemed very confident and didn't seem to be lying. But did something like raising the level cap really exist?
"That's right. I am actually a hero. One of the special skills that heroes possess is the ability to help others increase their level cap by injecting their bodily fluids into them."
"Injection...bodily fluids? Could it be..."
She suddenly realized a possibility and her face flushed slightly.
"That's right, that's what you're thinking. Setsuna has also been complaining about her lack of strength, but having reached the level cap, you can no longer become stronger no matter what. You no longer have a future where you can control your own destiny."
As he spoke, Chen Hao stood up.
"But now I can make you stronger, make you one of the strong, let you control your own destiny, and let you take control of your future again."
So choose! Setsuna!
"Should we let opportunities slip away, or seize the future?"
She looked up at Chen Hao and met his gaze. Her eyes were filled with determination, and her earnest and firm resolve made her appear incredibly beautiful at that moment.
"In a split second... I will seize the future with my own hands!"
As he said this, he instantly reached out and grasped the future!
