Aiden also knew that an intense battle here might attract other vicious beasts. The most important thing now was to leave, as the man had said.

Sophia, who was at the side, also struggled to open her eyes. A weak light flashed in her eyes, but it quickly extinguished. She cough a mouthful of blood and fainted.

“Sophia!”

Aiden was shocked. He struggled to get up, but he was unable. Although his body had powerful self-healing abilities, he couldn’t recover in a such short time when seriously injured.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do it.” The man went forward and squatted down. After examining Sophia, he stood up and smiled. “Don’t worry, her injuries are not serious. She would have overdrawn her mental strength. She’ll be fine after resting.”

Only then did Aiden relax a little and express his gratitude to the man.

“Whoever you are, thank you.”

“No need.” The man waved his hand indifferently.

“Let’s go. I’ll cover you guys downstairs. If you have any questions, ask them when it’s safe.”

After saying that, the man walked towards the beast corpse on the ground. By now, the corpse had already returned to its original appearance. The man took out a syringe and injected some transparent liquid into the back of the corpse before tellingAiden to leave.

After the man injected the liquid, Aiden saw the beast’s corpse collapse in front of his eyes as if everything in its body had evaporated. This shocked him and asked. “What did you inject into it?”

“It’s a secret.” The man smiled mysteriously without explaining.

As everyone left, the corpse of the ferocious beast completely dissipated, leaving only a pool of sticky liquid on the ground.

…

One o’clock in the morning, in a small hotel in the western suburbs of Clay District.

Sophia lay quietly on the bed. In the car, Aiden had cleaned up the blood on her face, but the paleness on her face still made Aiden’s heart ache.

The man at the side hung up the prepared nutrient solution and clapped his hands. “Alright, this way, we can prevent her from collapsing when she wakes up.”

“Thank you.” Aidan nodded. Whatever the man’s motives, it was a fact that the man had saved them. A word of thanks was due.

“I said there’s no need. We’re all Awakened. We should help each other.” The man smiled and extended his hand to introduce himself. “Martin Chris, professor of biology. You can call me Professor Martin. Ability [Witch Doctor], Sequence 42. Ability Pathway: Poison. What about you?”

“[Priest].” Aiden didn’t hide anything. At the same time, he was a little surprised by the other party’s ability. No wonder he easily dealt with the beast. He must have used some powerful poison.

“A priest?” Professor Martin rubbed his chin and said regretfully, “What a pity. If only it was a combat ability.”

Aiden fell silent. Who didn’t want that? He also wanted to have a combat ability, but the conditions didn’t allow it.

“Hehe, don’t be discouraged. It’s good to be a nanny.” Professor Martin blinked and teased, “Let’s not talk about this. Do you want to go and eat something? It’s my treat.”

Aiden was worried about Sophia’s condition and wanted to refuse, but he still had many questions he wanted to ask him. After hesitating a while, he nodded and agreed.

“Okay.”

With Professor Martin leading, they arrived at a fast-food restaurant downstairs. This was a 24-hour shop. As soon as they entered, they could smell the strong fragrance of fried chicken.

When the two entered, a white-bearded uncle who looked to be in his fifties was sitting at the sales counter, sorting out the miscellaneous items.

“Boss, is there anything else to eat?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” When the boss saw that there was a guest, he quickly stood up. When he saw Professor Martin, he was surprised but then smiled.

“Professor Martin? Why are you here so late?”

“Hehe, there is a lot to do in school.”

“Sigh, even a big professor like you has to work so hard.”

“Hahaha, what professor? I’m just a teacher.” Professor Martin laughed. Clearly, he was old friends with the boss.

“Two burgers and two Cokes, please.” He turned to Aiden.

“What do you want to eat? Don’t worry, it’s on me.”

‘Um…’

Aiden thought one of the two orders was for him but he was mistaken.

“I’ll just have a Coke.”

After experiencing so much just now and with the unique stench of ferocious beasts still on his body, how could he possibly eat?

Professor Martin did not mind. After taking the food, he found a seat and sat down. He took out a hamburger and took a big bite. He looked like he was enjoying it. “Hmm… Not bad. It’s a familiar taste… Are you really not eating?”

Aidan shook his head.

“Sigh, what a pity. After surviving a battle with such a terrifying beast, this is the best time to have a good meal and relax.”

His words scared Aiden so much that he almost jumped. He quickly turned to look at the boss at the counter. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he heaved a sigh of relief and reminded him softly, “Professor Martin… Professor, let’s not talk about these things in an outsider’s place, right?”

Professor Martin raised his head and looked at the boss who was busy at the counter. “It’s fine. This boss is a Fool. He will automatically ignore what he doesn’t want to hear, right, boss?”

The boss looked up with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong?”

“I said the hamburger is good today. One more.”

“Okay!” The boss wiped his hands and went back into the kitchen.

Aiden was finally relieved, but he was even more puzzled.

“What is a Fool? Is he also a ferocious beast?”

“Yes and no.” Professor Martin nodded and shook his head. “This group has the most ferocious beasts. They’re almost no different from humans. They even think that they’re humans until they die.”

Aiden was surprised that there was such a vicious beast.

“Can someone like him still be considered a ferocious beast?”

Professor Martin stopped chewing and looked at Aiden seriously for the first time. He swallowed his food and said calmly, “Perhaps in their eyes, we are the beasts…”
