Chapter96-Bait

True to her reputation as the Pope's disciple, Judy Venus healed Mike's injuries in just a few short breaths. 

When the golden light dissipated, the flesh on Mike's shoulder had fully healed, with not even a scar remaining. 

Were it not for his torn clothing and residual bloodstains, Howard would have doubted whether Mike had been injured at all.

"Thank you, Miss Judy," Mike said, moving his shoulder to ensure the pain was truly gone, then promptly expressed his gratitude.

Judy greeted this with a smile. "We're teammates now, no need for thanks."

Hearing this, both Mike and Nick broke into cheerful grins. Having a priest as a teammate was undoubtedly a cause for joy.

Only Howard continued to regard Judy with a hint of suspicion.

It was all too odd.

Normally, forming such alliances wasn't so straightforward, even if they were classmates to begin with.
