章 41: A FEAST

Myra found herself in an unexpected position, holding Dylan in her arms. His vacant, cloudy eyes revealed he was still ensnared by the mind control, yet he exhibited no signs of aggression or resistance. It was a peculiar scenario that would have been almost romantic if not for Myra's practical complaint.

"Guys, my hands are tired. Can I let go now?" Myra queried, prompting Ashley's playful response.

"Take this as a special mission. Hold that beast down."

"He's not a beast," Myra retorted, though the situation didn't seem to be causing any harm.

The sight of Myra embracing Dylan elicited an unexpected pang in Thomas' eyes. Eager to redirect their focus, he inquired, "Where is Team Beta with the mind controller?"

As if responding to Thomas' question, Dylan suddenly appeared released from the mind control. Confused, he asked, "What happened?" Myra gently let go of him, revealing the gravity of the situation.
