Chapter 124: Where is the loot? (2)
Aiden saw her anxious look, which meant she must have forgotten about the message. He was not worried; he just needed to know if she felt a little stronger than before. According to him, some of her stats might have increased, just like in games when leveling up.
'The absence of any level mentioned on either the system or the green screen suggests that the likely scenario involves a direct increase in stats.'
He was about to ask her if she felt stronger than before, but before he could say anything, he noticed the bright expression on her face.
'Did she remember what the message actually was?'
He quickly asked her again, seeing the obvious change in her expression.
"Did you remember what message you received on your status screen?"
Daphne, hearing her handsome leader's voice, didn't let him wait any longer and said excitedly, as she had just escaped embarrassment.
'Also, I don't think the Vice Leader would forgive me for such a mistake.' So her happiness increased even more, as she had also escaped punishment from her strict Vice Leader.
"Yes, Leader, I remember everything just now. When I thought of the message, it appeared in front of me again, as if it could read my intentions."
Daphne also decided to share the discovery she had unexpectedly found, hoping to get praised and make up for her mistake of forgetting something.
'Well, I would have shared this with the leader anyway, but the timing is right, and I can see he's excited. I hope he'll reward me someday... Ahh~ I can't wait for that day to come.'
While she maintained a straight demeanor outwardly, inside she was fantasizing about her overly handsome leader every moment, from the moment she had first seen him when she was young, she was mesmerized by him.
At first, she only thought of looking at him every moment, but as time passed, she realized it wasn't enough. She wanted to feel every inch of his body, which she had seen his body while he trained, covered in sweat highlight his body but it is not enough for her.
She glanced at the armor on his body for a second.
'I know inside that armor is the perfect body, ready to make me forget everything and feel things I've never felt before.'
'Anh~, I can't wait for the day when he finally embraces me.'
But she didn't let it show on her face. However, that didn't stop her from feeling aroused being so close to him.
Aiden, thinking about what she had said, felt good to know something new, but his main focus was still on the potential stat increase she might have received.
"That's good, but tell me what message you received."
Seeing that the leader wanted to know, she quickly responded, not letting him wait any longer, even though she wanted to talk more with him.
"Leader, I saw that I successfully killed an awakened rabbit in the message."
Aiden, hearing her words, said, "Hmm, that's normal, but did you get any other messages, like something about your stats increasing? Or do you feel more powerful after the kill?"
Daphne, hearing Aiden's words, felt confused as she had only received one message after killing the rabbit and didn't feel any stronger. With confusion written on her face, she replied to him.
"No, Leader, that's the only message I received after killing the rabbit, and I don't feel any stronger either."
Aiden could see the genuine confusion on her face, showing she really didn't know what he was talking about. However, he liked to check if it was actually the truth or not.
'But I don't think she would hide things from me based on what I've noticed until now, and besides, I fully trust her Aunt's judgment.'
Still, he used his King's Eyes ability on her once again, and a transparent blue screen appeared in front of him, showing her stats.

He looked at it for a few seconds and noticed that everything was just like before; there was no change in her stats or skills at all.
'But this shouldn't be happening. I've checked the rabbit's body and the person who killed it, but there's nothing that could increase someone's strength. How can this be possible? How did the rabbit get stronger after killing another rabbit?'
A dark thought appeared in his mind—seeing that the rabbit had killed one of its own species, he didn't want to accept it, but everything he had witnessed so far pointed to this conclusion.
'Do I have to kill many other humans to become strong enough to revive my mother?'
Before he could continue his thoughts, Ava's loud voice rang in his ears. Hearing her voice, he looked at her, noticing that she was walking toward him in hurried steps.
"Leader, I think I've found what we were trying to find in the rabbit's body earlier."
Hearing the words from her mouth, Aiden also started walking in her direction, wanting to reach her as soon as possible.
As they were only a few meters away from each other, he reached her in a couple of seconds and said hurriedly, his excitement evident as the look of joy couldn't be hidden from his face, now believing his earlier thoughts were wrong as he doesn't want to accept them.

"Quickly, show me what you've found."
Ava, seeing how excited the leader was, didn't beat around the bush. She extended her small, clause-filled hands toward him, opening them to reveal a red-colored circular stone about the size of a marble.
Aiden, seeing the marble in her hand, quickly grabbed her hands in excitement and asked enthusiastically, as he really wanted to know where she had gotten the item, while still holding her hands tightly with his large hands.
Ava could feel him holding her hands tightly, but she didn't say anything, seeing the excitement on the leader's face. That must have been the reason for his tight grip.
She kept a calm and collected expression, but inside, she was freaking out.
'Wow, is this the hand he used earlier to hug his big sis?'
'Should I consider that I'm being touched by immoral hands? But why does this feel so wrong?'
'But still, what would my sister think of me when she sees my hands being held by her love? I know she's watching.'
'But it feels nice to have my hands held by his large hands. I feel much more relaxed.'
'Ahhhh! Ava, what are you thinking? How can you think this way about someone who loves his own sister and does those immoral things with her?'
She was certain that when these immoral siblings did these things so openly, she could only imagine what else they did behind closed doors.
'I can say for sure they've already done it.'
'Ahn~ I couldn't even imagine how good it would feel to watch them do it.'
She realized how far she had strayed from her thoughts and quickly dismissed them for now.
'More importantly, my stupid sister is also in love with him, which would make things even messier.'
She couldn't even imagine having such a chaotic relationship, as she preferred peace and quiet, so she quickly rejected those thoughts, even though she still felt relaxed holding his hands.
