Beside him, Sophia also relaxed. Although she did not know how this guy could withstand Professor Martin’s potion, it was obvious that Eddie was a Fool just from this reaction.

She laid heavily on the bed and waved at Aiden. “You take care of this Fool yourself. I’ll rest for a while.”

“Idiot? Who? Me?” Eddie Valentine pointed at his nose, incredulous.

“F*ck, sister-in-law, don’t think that you can spout nonsense just because you’re Aiden’s woman. I’m famous for being smarter than others. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around in our class…”

“Eddie Valentine!” Aiden bellowed, interrupting him. Eddie Valentine glared at him unhappily, still muttering under his breath. “Why are you yelling so loud? I’m not deaf—”

“Shut up and leave me alone.” Aiden glared at him. He was helpless against this strange friend of his.

Eddie mumbled to himself for a while before looking at Aiden expectantly. “I say, you haven’t told me what a Feral is.”

Aiden: “…”

After hesitating again and again, Aiden looked at him seriously. “Eddie, what I’m about to say is very important. It’s good that you’re careful, and you can’t tell anyone, understand?”

“Okay!” Eddie said, immediately perking up.

“Actually, we…” Aiden pretended to be cautious. He looked around and whispered in his ear.

In just three minutes, Aiden had fabricated a story similar to Ultraman fighting monsters, and Eddie was the man chosen by God.

After hearing everything, Eddie was shocked and pious. He tried his best to digest the information in Aiden’s words, his eyes filled with excitement. “You’re saying that my body was modified when I was young, so it’s very special. Those beasts are the orcs mentioned on television. Are they here to kill me?”

“That’s right! You’re a one-in-a-million warrior. You’re… you’re the messenger of God! Only you can fight the final boss!”

To be honest, even Aiden almost couldn’t hold back his laughter when he said those words, let alone Sophia, who was on the bed. She buried her head and bit the pillow, her delicate body trembling non-stop as she tried not to laugh.

However, Eddie listened very carefully to such a ridiculous excuse, afraid that he would miss on any information.

“There’s too much information. Wait a moment, let me organize it first…”

Eddie stood up and went to the window, lost in thought. He paced the room, his face troubled and conflicted.

Could it be that he realized that something was wrong?

Aiden thought to himself. He hurried forward and continued in a deep tone. “Eddie, my good friend, do you know why Sophia suddenly returned and why I suddenly broke up with Lily?”

“Why?” Eddie turned.

“It’s all to secretly protect you! The reason why I’ve distanced myself from you recently is that my identity has been exposed. I didn’t want to implicate you… You heard it just now. Even Professor Martin’s wife turned into a half-beast. You can imagine how dangerous this world is.”

“Really?” Eddie’s eyes widened.

“You don’t believe me?” Aiden pressed his hand to his chest, looking pained.

“No, no, no, of course not!” Eddie quickly waved his hand.

“Good brother, I knew it… you still care about me!” Eddie grabbed Aiden’s hand excitedly, his eyes red.

“To be honest, from the first time I saw you when I was young, I found you especially pleasing to the eye. I didn’t expect you to hide from me for so many years! As expected of my good brother!”

“This is all fate!” Aiden quickly echoed. “It’s fate. We’re partners who will fight side by side!”

“Good brother!” Eddie clapped Aiden hard on the shoulder. “Let’s get rid of those orcs together! Get rid of them! Save the world!”

“Good!”

Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. He had to admit that his good brother’s brain was really stupid.

Sophia turned over on the bed and looked at Eddie as if he were an idiot. She hadn’t expressed any objections nor had the strength to.

She didn’t know how to object to such an idiot.

Eddie didn’t seem to notice her gaze at all. Instead, he opened his arms affectionately. “Dear Sophia, I didn’t expect you to care so much about me. I knew it. How can my charm not be comparable to a skinny monkey like Aiden? Come, give me a hug…”

Sophia pursed her lips and dodged his embrace. She stood beside Aiden and smiled disdainfully. “You’d better be careful. I’m protecting you, not your servant. If you die, we can always find another person to protect.”

“Huh?”

Eddie was dumbfounded. He turned to Aiden. “I thought I was supposed to be the one to defeat the Boss?”

Aiden glared helplessly at Sophia, who glared back at him without showing any signs of weakness. It was as if she was saying, “Let this damn fatty take advantage of you. I’m too lazy to cooperate.”

Helpless, Aiden could only explain, “Sophia means that before you become stronger, you have to protect yourself and not show any abnormalities. After all, you’re my good brother!”

“Oh, oh, I see.” Eddie patted his chest hard. “Don’t be afraid. When I’m awesome, I’ll definitely protect you!”
