Veronica had been lost in thought and hadn't even noticed Joshua's arrival. It wasn't until he spoke that she snapped out of it and looked up, her eyes meeting his.
She looked at him, a steady light shining in her gaze. Pressing her lips together slightly, she said, "I was thinking about how I can improve my power faster. I don't want to keep being the one who always needs your protection."
Her voice was soft, but there was an unmistakable resolve beneath it.
Joshua looked at her, a glint of surprise flashing through his eyes before it softened into deep, unwavering tenderness.
He dropped to one knee and took Veronica's hand. It was a gesture he had made many times before, yet each time, it felt sincere and reverent. His fingers closed gently around hers, as if guarding something precious.
"You've already been so brave, Mistress," Joshua said tenderly, his voice laced with respect and quiet praise. "The truth is, I didn't really protect you at all. I said I'd keep you safe no matter what, but I failed."
There was guilt in his voice, a trace of self-reproach, like he was aching over having failed to protect her.
Veronica looked at him, her heart melted by his words. She knew Joshua had always been there, quietly protecting her. Even if he hadn't always been able to do what he hoped, his intentions had always been sincere.
She gave a small shake of her head and smiled, "You've already done well enough, Joshua. Let's work hard together. Let's keep working hard together and get stronger, okay?"
Joshua pressed a kiss on the back of her hand, as if answering her without saying a word.
Snakehaven bordered the Deadzone, and people of unknown origin were often seen roaming nearby.
"Boss, why are we even here in Snakehaven? From what I heard, Joshua's already back. If we're going after females, we could just hit another state," one of the Interstellar Raiders asked.
Aaron, wearing a mask, replied with the sharp tone of someone far less gentle than his youthful voice suggested, "Idiot. Why do you think we're here? It's because this is the Deadzone. Do we have hideouts anywhere else?"
That was what he said out loud, but in truth, he had his own reasons.
He kept thinking about that S-level female. He wanted to know what it was about her—just a female, after all—that had stuck with him for so long. If he caught her this time, he wasn't going to let her slip away so easily.
Aaron gave a command. "Go scout right now. I want confirmation on whether Joshua's with the army today."
The Interstellar Raider took the order and left at once. He moved through the city streets, slipping into shadows one moment and darting across alleyways the next, doing everything he could to avoid being seen.
After weaving his way through the city, he finally reached the base of the Snakehaven Guard Corps.
He carefully observed the surroundings, staying alert for any movements and searching for anything that might lead to useful intel.
After some investigation, the Interstellar Raider returned with news. He reported to Aaron, visibly excited, "Good news—Joshua's not with the military today."
Aaron's eyes lit up at the news. He gathered his men and stood atop a high ridge, gazing out toward the base of the Snakehaven Guard Corps in the distance.
He took a deep breath, then turned to face them. "Guys, today we've got an opening. Time to go pay the Snakehaven Guard Corps a visit. With Joshua out of the picture, this is the perfect chance to test their strength.
"But remember—don't get cocky, and don't do anything reckless. Stay sharp, move smart, and see if we can bring back something useful."
The Interstellar Raiders responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They had been curious about the Snakehaven Guard Corps for a long time, and now that the chance was finally here, they weren't about to let it slip by.
