Kate had never imagined Darius smiling at her before, especially after she'd come onto him so
forcefully.
Darius shook his head, then said, "I think you can stand up now that you're feeling better."
She was still dazed by his smile, so she stood up without a second thought. Then, she heard the
despair in the captain's voice.
"No, wait! You shouldn't do that! It's much too dangerous now!"
Unfortunately, it was too late, and his despair grew as he looked at Darius. Now, he had two options-to
go along with what Darius wanted or to go against him. No matter which one he picked, he wouldn't be
able to live a peaceful life. So, he chose to leave

Unfortunately, it was too late, and his despair grew as he looked at Darius. Now, he had two options-to
go along with what Darius wanted or to go against him. No matter which one he picked, he wouldn't be
able to live a peaceful life. So, he chose to leave a good impression on the people who would make it
out of this alive and win himself a stellar reputation. He would show them that he was willing to die to
protect his master no matter how dangerous it was, which meant that he would stop Darius.
He hurried over to stand between Kate and Darius, his expression mixed with fear and anger. "How
can you allow her to stand up? Do you know how unethical it is for you to do something like this just to
prove what a good doctor you are?"
Darius narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything. The captain became even more nervous at his
reaction. He started to tremble, but he kept his voice loud as he said tremulously, "I'm sure we all saw
what happened earlier. Kate suffered a serious injury to the head, and she was bleeding profusely. She
should be in pain and feeling dizzy now, but you told her to stand up regardless of her condition. I think
it’s illogical for you to do that just because you saved her."
Darius raised an eyebrow and nodded. "What do you think is the logical thing to do, then?"
This surprised the captain. He subconsciously turned to look at Kate. Then, he saw a look that he
would never forget. Kate's gaze was filled with shock, confusion, disdain, and other emotions that he
couldn't discern. He remained silent, however, because he didn’t know what to say.
An awkward silence descended upon them. After a few attempts to speak, the captain finally managed
to ask, "Are you feeling better now?"
Kate moved her head around, saying blankly, 'Yes, I am. I feel perfectly fine." She put a hand to her
head and massaged it vigorously, even messing her hair up to prove that she was okay. The captain's
jaw dropped at her actions. He stumbled backward, shaking his head as he mumbled," No, that’s
impossible. I saw your wound, and it was deep. There was so much blood! That’s enough to show how
serious the injury was. There’s no way you could've recovered in such a short time."
He turned to look at Darius. "I think you owe us an explanation."
Darius smiled. It was mocking, but he still nodded and said, ‘You're right. Kate was seriously injured
earlier, but that doesn't mean I can't make her recover quickly."
Edward stood in one corner silently. He'd heard about enlightened martial artists before and always
thought they merely had an additional source of power to tap into for fights. Never would he have
imagined there to be other uses for it. In that instant, he suddenly wanted to join their ranks. His logic
won out, though, and he stepped forward before looking at the captain. "I believe that you've heard of
me before. My name's Edward Elliott, and I'm an experienced surgeon. If you don't know who I am, you
can probably look me up on the internet."
Silence greeted his words. The captain gaped and stared at him for the longest time, unable to blink or
move.
This was Darius’ first time encountering such a situation, so it took him a while to process this. Edward
walked up to him and looked disapproving as he said, "Sir, they’re not worth your time, and you don't
need to operate on them personally. If anything like this happens again, you can tell me to handle it. I'm
your bodyguard, and I'll do anything you want me to."
Darius sensed that he was making a request as a loyal subject. He realized that he shouldn't have
used his powers to handle the situation, so he nodded without a word. Edward sighed with relief at
Darius’ acquiescence, then turned to face the captain again.
"I think we've managed to resolve the issue pretty well. As long as you keep silent, no one will know
what happened here."
The captain was still gaping at him, making him frown. He was about to say something when the
captain shrieked, "My God! You're Edward Elliott, you say? Of course, I know who you are! I doubt
there's any pilot who hasn't heard of you-you're the one who brought us all the benefits that we're
enjoying now, and all the obstacles you overcame have contributed to lengthening our lifespans."
Edward didn't expect him to know about those things. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and said,
"Thank you for your gratitude."
