Chapter 942

"Bro, what are you even talking about?"

Elvis, as always, flashed that carefree smirk, the kind that suggested he'd use the sky as a blanket if it fell. "Who said anything about a duel to the death? I'm just going back to report in. Been AWOL for days. If I don't show up soon, the organization will have my head, and there goes my health insurance."

"Stop playing dumb. I heard your conversation with Dad!"

Evadne pouted, her lips a bright shade of rebellion, pinching her earlobe. "Remember, I've got ears everywhere!"

Elvis: "..."

Such a curious fox, always eavesdropping!

"No matter what, I need to save Ellie."

Elvis took a deep breath, a dull ache spreading through his heart. "If Avery's bold enough to reveal his location and even suggests meeting in Helgen, it means we're in for a nasty fight. Honestly, I'm scared."

"Elvis..." Cassius Ashbourne, the eldest brother, eyes suddenly moist, grabbed his brother's broad shoulders.

"Elvis!" Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy were also on the verge of breaking down.

"I'm not afraid of dying. I'm just afraid of not being able to come back to you all." Elvis smiled, a heavy burden in his light words.

Cassius hugged his brother, his voice deep and gravelly. "I'm with you, little bro. I'll protect you, won't let anything happen!"
