Zeke flashed Minerva a smile. “Megahead should be the one worried instead.”

Words eluded Minerva. She didn't know what else to say about the man.

I really have no idea where he gets the courage to make such a bold statement.

Meanwhile, Megahead fled all alone.

His speed was moderate, for he was sure some team members would leave with him. He wanted to wait for them so they could all gather.

Shortly after, his subordinate, Hawkeye, trotted up to him. “Wait up, Megahead! Wait for me...”

Megahead glanced at him in slight disappointment. “You're the only one coming with me?”

Panting, Hawkeye replied, “There should be more, and they should be arriving soon.”


Just after he said that, a few old team members arrived, one after another.

Among them was the trio who owed Zeke a debt of gratitude: Nash, Nico, and Nevan Nixon.

“Megahead, we... we're here to pledge allegiance to you. You ran too fast, Megahead. We only managed to catch up now after expending all our energy. Please forgive us for our tardiness, Megahead.”

Megahead nodded in gratification.

Hawkeye studied the Nixons curiously. “Nash, Nico, Nevan, why are you three here as well?”

“Why wouldn't we be here? Megahead is our Decanus. Who else would we follow if not our Decanus?” Nash riposted.

“But when we took sides earlier, the three of you were the first ones to side with Zeke without any hesitation. Why have you defected now?” Hawkeye questioned in puzzlement.

“When have we defected? We were simply too hungry, so we went over to his side to eat. After eating, we immediately came after Megahead. Megahead was the one who supplied the food, so it's only right that we have a share, no?” Nash countered.

Hawkeye promptly flashed them a thumbs-up. “Impressive! You're indeed shameless enough!”

“Congratulations, everyone. You've made the best decision of your life. To tell you the truth, I'm not the least bit afraid of an insignificant character like Zeke. In the face of the ace up my sleeve, he's as weak as an ant,” Megahead gloated.

“The ace up your sleeve? What is it?” Nash and the others queried, intrigued.

“You'll know when the time comes. Let's go. I'll bring you all to take a look at it,” Megahead announced.

And so, he led the team members into the forest.
