Chapter 131: He's just like a child...

Reon didn't glance at anything else, his mind clouded with rage — determined to teach Yi Ran a harsh lesson.

She hung limp in his grasp, half-unconscious, cradled in his arms like a fallen princess—her face just few inches from his own.

He could hear her faint, hollow breathing.

"She's so light...so delicate," Reon thought distractedly.

Not a single whisper, not even a breath.

"Shit... I think I've caused something even more shocking than defeating the Protagonist," Reon thought grimly, a bead of sweat running down his temple.

Then, like a stone thrown into a frozen lake, a loud, gleeful voice shattered the stillness.

"Yahoo! You're the best, Big Brother!"

And just like that, a storm of voices erupted across the arena.

"Impossible...! This can't be!"
