Eugene, with a full head of white hair but still handsome, shrugged and said, "To be honest."
He moved closer to the Amazon girl, whose energy was still lingering after the activity.
The voice had a wicked edge: "There are many more things you can try in the future~"
Before Lina could even utter a coquettish complaint, Eugene had already burst out laughing.
Under the cover of night, he swaggered out of the main entrance.
No longer do they need to worry about the two people staring intently from the shadows.
Eugene boarded the mansion's private carriage and headed straight for the Tower of Babel.
The horses galloped freely in the deserted night, their tracks echoing crisply on the stone pavement.
Before long, he arrived at the entrance to the underground city.
"Hehe, if you really think about it, this is my first time here."
Looking at this unfamiliar place, Eugene was filled with emotion.
The clone had never been to the first floor before, and the original body was indeed visiting this place for the first time.
The clock strikes twelve.
When the chant ended, Cinderella revealed her true form.
A handsome, dark-skinned man with blond hair and golden eyes, dressed in a well-tailored suit, stood on the edge of darkness, waiting quietly.
Step, step, step.
Facing the gradually brightening light.
The minotaur, carrying the girl in his arms, walked towards them step by step.
Their eyes met across the distance.
Until they looked at each other in bewilderment.
They looked at each other in silence.
"It feels like looking in a mirror."
The two Eugenes expressed the same sentiment.
"On one hand, there is humanity; on the other hand, there is bestiality."
"It's really fun."
That's all I wanted to say.
In the dungeon, Eugene seized some healing potions and used them to give Lily emergency treatment.
She should be able to make it to the hospital.
Eugene reached out and touched the minotaur's giant fist.
It's like the contact between the left and right hands.
The two then turned around simultaneously.
One walks towards the moonlight, the other returns to darkness.
……
The next day.
The headquarters of the Deankat Familia is bustling with activity every day.
Renowned for its expertise in healing and recuperation, this hospital, which has been expanded multiple times, remains overcrowded.
The dungeon is never short of wounded.
Every adventurer risking their life hopes to receive the best possible rescue.
Under these conditions.
Lily slowly woke up in a spacious and bright single room.
The gentle light and the scent of plants outside the window brought her nostrils to life first.
"Aqiu!"
"It hurts!"
The radiating pain in my ribs shattered my illusions that I was alright.
"...still alive."
"Lily, is she still alive?"
She watched as the gentle breeze rustled through the curtains.
His blank expression only came to life after a few seconds.
"what!!"
All the memories flooded back to me.
A desperate escape, a desperate counterattack, a dead end, and the approach of death.
It was like a divine appearance.
he.
Even now, Lily still doesn't know the name of her benefactor.
"Oh, you're awake."
Eugene sat in the rocking chair in front of the bed, leisurely munching on a slice of apple.
On his wrist, two pendants, one red and one blue, stood out conspicuously.
"That is!"
Lily spotted that familiar color immediately.
From red to blue.
It's almost a portrait of her life from death to life.
"how do you feel?"
Eugene looked at her with a smile.
Lily responded instinctively.
"It's, it's okay..."
"Don't be nervous, no one here will cause you any trouble, and you won't even need to pay for medical expenses."
Eugene had seen Lily's memories; the girl had become accustomed to hiding her scars.
In fact, her young body had many old injuries.
"Sir, are you... a companion of that lord?"
Shaking her head, Lily asked somewhat eagerly.
companion……
Eugene chuckled; the description was rather novel.
If left and right hands are considered partners, then that's how it is.
"Yeah, yeah."
"You want to meet that big guy, right?"
"Never mind him, he's a martial arts fanatic and spends most of his time in the dungeon."
Eugene got up, picked up a fruit platter, and handed it to the bewildered girl.
His hand caressed the sapphire pendant.
"Actually, that guy was just a gofer."
"I was the one who actually notified you to go to the dungeon."
"It's you!?"
Lily looked at Eugene with a shocked expression.
The image of the man in front of her, a sleazy upper-class fellow, seemed quite different from the true appearance of the esteemed man she had imagined.
But looking at the pendant in Eugene's hand, she couldn't say anything.
Why are you helping me?
After learning Eugene's identity, Lily became noticeably more timid.
It's like the deep-seated humility one feels when facing a powerful figure.
"you misunderstood."
Eugene maintained his enigmatic smile:
"I didn't help you."
"In fact, I took advantage of you."
"How could this be?" Lily couldn't understand.
Your mark (scar) belongs to me. My mark (scar) still belongs to me.
A dazzling light flashed, and Eugene's appearance changed in an instant, only to return to normal in a moment.
Lily stared blankly at the all-too-familiar scene before her, and gradually she understood.
Only then did she understand what Eugene meant by "price" when they were in the dungeon.
"This is not a one-sided redemption, but a transaction."
"Although the way we facilitated it was somewhat crude, we both got what we wanted."
Want something?
Lily and Eugene looked at each other.
