Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474 Teammates for Life

“We spent all this time trying and still couldn’t manage it. Looks like ordinary people really can’t compare to a monster like you.”

Steven smiled faintly, recalling the things Peter had said back then.

A tiny level 1 beast swarm? I can come and go whenever I want!

And there was Zac too, always bragging that he could walk through an entire beast horde as if it were his own backyard.

Steven said, “You guys helped make me who I am.”

Peter turned his head and looked at him.

“Helped make you? Bullshit. That was all your own doing. I didn’t do a damn thing.”

Steven merely smiled. He knew the truth, and that was enough for him.

Come to think of it, Zac was already in his thirties. He was probably hiding out in some sketchy massage parlor enjoying himself.

Maybe I should drop by unexpectedly one day and scare him half to death… yeah, that sounds fun.

Peter said, “Back then, I thought it’d be years before we could help Captain take down Alex’s team. Never thought you lot would pull it off this quickly.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Steven asked.

Peter nodded. “Of course. That’s one less problem to deal with. It’ll make things easier for moving forward. But when it comes to Douglas… that’s still going to be difficult.

“At this point, only you guys can help Captain handle that.”

Steven glanced at him. “Why are you suddenly talking like this? We’re all on the same side.”

A strange uneasiness crept into his heart.

Peter stared up at the sky and said, “Kid, we’ve already decided to leave Team Ashen. After the Awakened Tournament is over, we’ll return with Rowenville Awakened Academy.”

The moment he heard that, Steven’s pupils contracted sharply. He sat up straight at once.

His expression darkened immediately.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We’re teammates!”

Peter smiled and shook his head. “I’m only telling you first. The others don’t know yet.”

Steven stared at him in silence.

Peter suddenly looked somewhat uncomfortable.

He snorted. “What? You planning to drag me around forever to risk my life with you? Can’t I retire and enjoy life?

“And stop looking like some lovesick girl who’s about to cry.

“I’m Peter. I don’t need you getting sentimental over me. Besides, it’s not like I’m dying.”

But Steven kept looking at him.

Peter sighed helplessly. “Don’t look at me like that. We really can’t keep holding you all back.”

Steven said, “We already found a way to help you transform.”

Peter looked at him and replied, “Even if we transformed, we’d only barely reach the point where you started. We’d still never catch up to you.

“And it’d consume that many resources too. What’s the point?

“Besides, every one of us is carrying old injuries. Just let us retire, okay?”

Steven felt an emptiness spreading through his chest. “I’ll talk to Captain. I won’t let you leave.”

Peter shook his head. “Already did. Captain agreed.”

Steven’s eyes flickered, but he found himself unable to say anything else.

Peter looked at him, lifted his bottle, and grinned. “We’re not dead, you know.

At another window, Edric sat alone with a bottle in hand as well, raising it toward the bright moon overhead.

Teammates for a few years. Brothers for life…

That night, Steven and Peter drank themselves completely drunk and ended up falling asleep right there in the lounge chairs.

The following morning, Steven slowly opened his eyes.

Someone had draped a blanket over him during the night, shielding him from the chilly dawn

air.

Peter was already nowhere to be seen. Bianca sat quietly beside him, keeping him company.

“Steven, you’re awake.”

Bianca leaned closer, her bright eyes blinking gently as she looked at him.

70

Seeing her delicate and flawless face, Steven reached out and pulled her into his arms, feeling the softness of her body and the faint sweet fragrance lingering around her.
