Noralia pressed her lips together and nodded slightly. "I... I trust you."
Noralia naturally trusted Noan because, if it weren't for him, she would likely be in an ambulance heading to the hospital by now. But... the position earlier had been too ambiguous, making others think of some strange things.
Noan sighed, but when he saw that Noralia's finger was bleeding, he immediately approached her, frowning and saying, "You're injured?"
Noralia suddenly remembered the cut on her finger from the shard of glass. She bit her lip and nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I... I have a small injury."
"A small injury?" Noan frowned and said.
The cut was quite deep, and blood was flowing out heavily. The more she clenched her hand, the more the blood kept flowing out. It even soaked her hand and stained her white dress.
Noan gently took hold of Noralia's wrist and said softly, "Let me take a look."
"Really... it's fine. I... I can handle it," Noralia stammered.
"Handle it how? Hurry, if you don't, the blood will keep flowing even more," Noan said, frowning.
Noan's assertiveness made Noralia shiver. She slowly brought her injured hand towards him.
Noan saw that the wound was deep, and if left untreated, it could lead to infection. Such an injury needed to be treated at a hospital, but Noan could handle it without one.
He reached out, and a purple energy surrounded the wound, quickly helping it heal.
Within a few seconds, the wound disappeared, leaving no scar whatsoever.
Noralia stood in shock at the sight, unable to believe this young man could use magic. However, after thinking about how many Landlords could also use magic, she didn't find it so strange anymore.
It was just... Noan seemed to be the same age as Lylia, yet Lylia couldn't use magic, while Noan could use magic to heal Noralia's wound.
Although Noralia felt confused, she didn't ask too many questions.
She felt embarrassed by Noan holding her hand, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel warmth when she saw his face full of concern.
So... this was what it felt like to be cared for by someone?
This feeling was magical, and Noralia wanted to make this moment last forever.
Although she knew well that this should never have happened, Noan was Lylia's boyfriend, and what she had done was unacceptable. If Lylia found out, perhaps...
"Ah!" Noralia heard Lylia's voice suddenly and immediately pulled her hand back. She even took a few steps back, anxiously looking towards the kitchen door.
"Lylia, you... you..." Noralia stammered, her face turning red with embarrassment.
"Mom! What's going on?" Lylia exclaimed, noticing the blood on Noralia's hand.
"It's fine, just a small injury," Noralia said, trying to stay calm. "Noan helped me, don't worry."
Lylia quickly approached Noralia and checked her hand. Not seeing any wound, her face showed confusion and surprise.
"This... I... he..." Noralia pressed her lips together, not knowing how to explain.
Lylia looked at Noan, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Noan. But... can you use magic?"
"Yes," Noan nodded. "I'm a level 4 Lord. My Class leans towards support, so I know a bit of healing magic."
Lylia admired Noan, realizing that the man she loved was not useless.
This wasn't magic from his Class, but something he had inherited from Malrik. After evolving Malrik, Noan gained many abilities, including healing magic. However, this magic wasn't very powerful and could only heal small wounds.
"Wait! If you use magic, the city's Magic Dome will detect it," Lylia said, worried.
Noralia was startled by this and looked at Noan with concern, feeling guilty. If Noan got into trouble, it would be because of her.
"Don't worry, it's just a small spell. It won't trigger the Magic Dome's alarm."
"Really?" Lylia asked, doubting him.
"Of course. You noticed that there haven't been any magic alarms going off since earlier, right?" Noan said with a smile.
Lylia nodded lightly, and Noralia sighed with relief.
"Alright, Mom, you should rest a bit, let me clean up here."
"No need! You... you and Noan go to another room, I'll clean up here," Noralia said, flustered, hurriedly pushing Noan and Lylia out of the kitchen.
Once they left, Noralia sighed again. She looked down at her bloodstained hand, but she felt a little warmth inside. Her heart was still racing, but not as fast as before.
Noralia shook her head, trying not to think of the embarrassing situation earlier, and focused on cleaning up.
Outside, Lylia said irritably, "Noan, Jankos wants to meet Vylyss. What should we do?"
"You don't need to worry, Vylyss knows exactly what she needs to do."
"Besides, why do you need so many resources?" Lylia tilted her head and asked.
Noan glanced at her and sighed, "Can I trust you?"
"Heh?! Of course," Lylia replied with a confident smile.
"In fact, I'm holding onto a massive secret. If it gets out, I'll be in danger," Noan sighed and said.
"Ah! Is it really that terrifying? Well... you don't need to tell me then," Lylia pouted.
"Are you not curious?"
Hearing Noan's question, Lylia shook her head. Although her personality was a bit childish, she wasn't a fool. She knew what was necessary to know and what should remain unknown.
If she learned Noan's secret and then got manipulated by someone bad, it would cause trouble for him.
Therefore, she didn't want to know the secret or want Noan to be in danger.
However, deep inside, Lylia still felt a bit uncomfortable. After all, she was his girlfriend, and they had kissed.
Noan smiled and ruffled Lylia's head, saying, "I can tell you, of course."
He wasn't stingy. After all, Lylia had sacrificed her life for him, helping him get the opportunity to enter the 'Chaos World.' Because of that, he truly trusted her.
"I can bring resources from the City to the Chaos World."
"What?!" Lylia was startled but quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Are you... Are you serious?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you," Noan said with a smile.
Lylia took a deep breath, fully aware of how terrifying Noan's secret was. If it were to get out, it could be catastrophic.
'No! I can't let anyone else know,' Lylia thought to herself. 'I must keep this secret. Uhm! Even if I die, I can't reveal it.'
Seeing Lylia's expression, like a little kitten puffing up its fur, Noan couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, he remembered something and frowned, asking, "Lylia, did you encounter any danger in that world?"
Lylia laughed and said, "No! I'm a Rank A Lord, how could I be in danger?"
"Even though the 'Zombie Wave' had many zombies, we could still defend ourselves."
"However, after that event, one of my heroes and many other soldiers of mine died. If such an event occurs again, I'm afraid the Lords won't be able to endure it," Lylia said.
Noan frowned when he heard that. If only Lylia were in the same area as him, it would be much better; he could protect her. He couldn't give her anything, after all, Lylia didn't possess a system like Noan's.
That's why, even if he gave her rare items, she couldn't bring them to that world.
He could only sigh and say, "Lylia, try to survive, don't take unnecessary risks. If you can run, just run. Even if the territory is destroyed, you still have me."
"Wait until our territories merge, then I can protect you."
"Hehehe..." Lylia smiled mischievously, "Don't worry, I'm not weak enough for that."
Noan smiled, nodded, and softly asked, "Are you free today?"
"Hm?! What do you mean..." Lylia looked at him expectantly.
"Let's go on a date."

In the afternoon, Jankos sat inside a bank, waiting for someone he had always longed for.
That girl... he felt he couldn't control himself anymore.
Since yesterday, the image of Vylyss had appeared in his mind constantly, even though he sought other women for relief. But no matter what he did, he couldn't forget her.
At first, he had planned not to rush to collect resources for Vylyss, but because he missed her so much, he quickly gathered a large amount of resources to have a reason to meet her.
The main door opened, and a girl dressed in black with a cold and indifferent expression slowly walked in.
Her long legs were hidden beneath the black dress, and she wore high heels. The simple dress and the beautiful necklace around her neck made her even more radiant.
Seeing Vylyss, Jankos was both surprised and amazed, his body trembling slightly.
At that moment, Vylyss's eyes suddenly glowed with a pink light.
