In that instant, Kai felt like he was staring into a mirror. Seafarion had the same broad frame as him–their builds were almost identical. To be precise, he was just like his past self.

Thinking about how he had been resting in the hospital for half a month, neglecting his training, and possibly ruining his physique, Kai jolted up in shock.

He thought, “No way. I have to intensify my training starting tomorrow. No–tonight!‘

A sense of crisis surged within him as Kai looked at Seafarion with even more hostility.

Seafarion’s gaze wasn’t exactly friendly either. He sized up the leopard who had successfully won Nyx over, and a trace of unconcealed jealousy flickered in his light–colored eyes.

The tension became more obvious.

Nyx awkwardly explained to Seafarion, “Sorry, I was at the hospital with Kai for his recovery these past few weeks.”

The day of the attack, Seafarion had contacted her immediately. He had been checking in on her frequently since then and had wanted to visit.

But to ensure Kai could recover in peace, she had turned him down multiple times. She had also promised to treat him to a meal, but she hadn’t found the time to follow through.

“You don’t need to apologize. I understand,” Seafarion said softly, lowering his gaze.

Though he was jealous of Kai, he was also grateful to the leopard for protecting Nyx.

Ever since he learned about the attack, he had been restless. It wasn’t until today, when he saw with his own eyes that Nyx was unharmed, that he finally felt at ease.

Seafarion presented Nyx with a carefully prepared gift–and, out of courtesy, he didn’t leave Kai out either.

Kai went speechless. He didn’t want to accept it at all, but with Nyx watching, he had no choice but to take it for the sake of politeness.

“How’s your Loss of Control Index been lately?” Nyx asked Seafarion.

“Fairly stable,” Seafarion replied gently.

Nyx thought for a moment, and then said, “Since you’re already here, I’ll give you a Mental Soothing session.”

She waved him over and added, “No charge.”

Seafarion froze. He had been so stressed these past few days that he’d lost several scales. Not even the most expensive treatments had been able to restore them.

It looked awful. He really didn’t want Nyx to see it. But since she had offered to soothe him, he couldn’t bring himself to

refuse.

After hesitating for a long moment, Seafarion clenched his jaw, took a deep breath, and nervously revealed his fishtail.

He carefully used his cloak to cover the areas where scales were missing, not daring to let Nyx see them.

Nyx didn’t seem to notice the details, which put him to ease.
