The Author's POV

Chapter 419

Rushing in my direction, Kevin shouted. His voice sounded extremely panicked.

"Where is Emma?!"

"Calm down, Emma has been taken by the staff, her father is with her."

Raising my hand, I motioned him to calm down.

"From what I've been told, she is still alive. Just before Emma was about to get stabbed in the back, the referee reacted in time and slightly shifted her body away, preventing her death, but..."

Pausing, my brows furrowed.

"But what!?"

Raising my head and meeting Kevin's gaze, I deeply sighed.

"...but, well, it's not looking too good. She was hit directly in the spine, so I don't know."

"Haa..."

Like a deflated balloon, Kevin's stumbled a couple of steps back as his face drained of all color.

Grabbing onto his shoulder, I held him up.

"Relax, don't lose hop—"

"The book!"

Kevin suddenly shouted as he cut me off.

My eyes immediately opened wide at his words.

Placing my hand over his mouth, I quickly shushed him.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"Hmmhmmm."

Increasing my grip on his mouth, I whispered in his ear.

"Get a grip of yourself, the event has already happened, the book can't do anything. Furthermore, there is nothing written on it. You know best since you've seen the book yourself."

Listening to my words, Kevin quickly calmed down as his eyes dulled.

Seeing this, I asked. "...Are you finally calm?"

Kevin silently nodded his head in response.

Eyeing him for a while, I proceeded to take my hand away from his mouth. Taking a deep breath, I tried to reassure him.

"Don't worry too much, I'm sure she will be fine."

Despite my words, I wasn't too confident in the things I said.

Emma's condition was quite critical. Fortunately, the elves were able to intervene just in time to stabilize her condition and so she was at least guaranteed her life.

Regarding whether she was disabled or not, I wasn't sure. Only time could tell.

"Huuu..."

Taking a deep breath, I turned my wrist and glanced at my watch.

'This is enough for now.'

Tapping onto the screen of my watch, I turned off the tracking device in Aaron's head.

Silence descended on the platform as the eyes of all the members on the platform locked themselves on the one specific projection where a girl lay on the floor in her own pool of blood.
