"Ms. Thia, I want to tell you some things you're not aware of."
In the end, Loren still organized his words carefully.
Striving to make his "investment" grow a brain that wasn't quite so foolish.
It had to be said, this once again proved the raven's words.
Once humans get brains, they always become rather peculiar.
"Mr. Loren, please speak." Ms. Thia's eyes returned to normal.
After Evan's departure, that foolish look of bliss had vanished from Ms. Thia's face.
This Ms. Thia had clearly returned to the version Loren was familiar with.
Virtuous character had returned!!!
Honestly, I'm starting to doubt my own abilities.
"On the second day after your husband Evan was captured, he awakened psychic abilities and became a superhuman."
After Loren mentioned Evan becoming a superhuman...
Ms. Thia's eyes took on that foolish look again...
"As expected of Evan!!" Ms. Thia was extremely excited.
Loren fell into an eerie silence once more.
Loren, who sighed silently to himself, regrouped and continued:
"After he awakened and became a psychic, he had a great chance to escape. But for his own growth, he still chose to remain in that place."
"That's good, I thought he suffered terribly." Ms. Thia visibly relaxed.
Loren fell silent again: "......"
A revolver strangely appeared in his hand, spinning skillfully around his fingertips. Read complete versıon only at N()velFire.net
The spinning speed was noticeably rather agitated.
Ms. Thia looked somewhat puzzled at Mr. Loren across from her.
Why did she feel like Mr. Loren was in a bad mood?
Was it just her imagination?
Seeing that Ms. Thia still hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation, Loren sighed once more.
Don't get angry, don't get angry...
I chose this myself...
"Forget it, ma'am, please step out first and help me call Mr. Evan in..."
"I want to have a talk with him."
Loren weakly waved his hand, his tone somewhat melancholy.
"Alright, Mr. Loren." Ms. Thia happily stood up and left.
After taking a few steps, Ms. Thia stopped and turned back to say solemnly:
"Mr. Loren, don't lose heart. No matter how difficult things are, they will pass."
She thinks I'm in a bad mood and is comforting me?
Damn it! She dares to turn back and comfort me?!
I'm going to shoot you both!!!
The revolver spinning at his fingertips accelerated even faster.
He carefully closed the lounge door.
Then carefully sat on the sofa opposite Loren.
"Um... Mr. Loren... you wanted to see me?"
Nor did he maintain the pleasant expression he'd shown Ms. Thia.
His face was dark, visibly dark...
Low pressure surrounded Loren's vicinity.
Loren stared fixedly at Evan sitting across from him.
Evan inexplicably felt a chill run down his back.
An eerie atmosphere filled the lounge.
That was the sound of a revolver being cocked.
The revolver at Loren's fingertips stopped spinning, resting in his palm.
After Loren cocked the revolver, its barrel aimed directly at Evan across from him.
"Listen, Ms. Thia is a junior I hold in extremely high regard."
"She will become a great interstellar hunter."
"If she dies along the way, or lives a miserable life."
"Then I will firmly place the blame on you."
"I hope you remember these words."
"Otherwise, you will die. Not-so-honest Mr. Evan."
Loren's tone was somewhat indifferent.
His gaze toward Evan was like looking at a dead man.
If killing him here wouldn't affect how Ms. Thia viewed him, Evan would have been a dead man the moment he entered.
Cold sweat covered Evan's forehead as he nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, sir! I understand what you're saying!!"
Loren took a coin from his pocket and tossed it into the air.
He snapped his fingers, "Fortune."
The coin fell back into Loren's hand, and he looked down at it.
"......" It really would be better to find an opportunity to eliminate him after all.
Loren calmly put away the coin, his gaze toward Evan already approaching calmness.
Just as he was about to say something to Evan...
A voice that suddenly appeared in his mind interrupted Loren's intended words.
"Dear master, I'm awake! Did you miss me?!"
"I did." You were right - once humans get brains, they really do become rather peculiar.
Loren silently responded to the raven's words in his mind.
"Master, I just reviewed your memories. It seems you've encountered some trouble?"
"......" Just a failed investment, a minor issue.
Loren suddenly thought of something and silently asked in his mind.
"Do you have a solution?"
What responded to Loren was the raven's gleeful, mocking chuckle.
After the raven laughed until Loren grew somewhat impatient, it finally spoke again:
"Want to advance? Perhaps the new ability after advancement can solve your failed investment problem, master."
Loren remained silent for a moment.
"Should I take the gamble?" What if it's another failed ability? That would be a headache.
"Don't worry, master, you have me now."
"My wisdom should be able to help you awaken some desired abilities, master."
"At least with my help, the awakened ability won't deviate too much."
"Is there a certain probability?"
"Yes, after all, I haven't possessed wisdom for very long yet."
Loren glanced at Evan, who was sitting dumbly on the opposite sofa.
"You go out first. I'll call you in again later."
"Alright, Mr. Loren." Evan nodded with relief and quickly stood up to leave.
After the lounge door closed once more...
Only Loren remained in the lounge.
Loren closed his eyes and began adjusting his state.
Soon, dazzling light emanated from Loren's body.
And in Loren's mind, the raven's figure also appeared.
Strange light flickered on the raven's feathers too.
Echoing the light on Loren's body, both flickering simultaneously.
After the light intensified dramatically...
The light on both the raven and Loren's bodies slowly retracted into them.
A powerful energy aura suddenly appeared around Loren.
This pure energy aura first compressed, then suddenly burst forth.
The energy explosion created a violent gust of wind.
This suddenly appearing airflow impacted the furnishings in the lounge.
Decorative hangings on the walls were blown to the floor by the gale.
Even the heavy sofa was shifted several centimeters by this airflow.
The airflow formed by the energy explosion slowly dissipated.
The lounge was in complete disarray.
After a long time, Loren opened his eyes.
Deep and dazzling, like endless abysses, like enchanting starry skies.
What kind of eyes were these? One look and people couldn't help but become lost in them.
