Kapitel 129: Fight Like a Phantom

"Were you scared...?" Trici glanced away, touching her lips thoughtfully, "You all looked very brave, especially you! A few blows and the bull fell to the ground! That was fantastic!"

Adam sighed heavily, dropping to one knee in front of Layla and pulling Trici off his back.

"Trici, be quiet, it's not that simple here... right?" Adam muttered intently, looking into Layla's eyes. 

Perhaps if the onlookers who were clapping in honor of the military's triumph saw Layla now, they would be disappointed. However, Adam had a very different emotion - understanding.

"You have won. That's the main thing. None of you are injured, and the monster has fallen. For a first public battle, you did great, but... that's not what you're worried about, is it?" Adam asked, taking Layla's hand.

Quick tears fell onto his palm, dripping down in thin streams and soaking into the dry earth.
