“You don’t seem to care about the life and death of your own kind,” Pandora said . Being able to read Tyre’s thoughts from his eyes seemed to have built the basics for their communication .
“Look here, human . ”
Pandora changed the scene of the Magical Projection Stone . The scene of the village being engulfed by fire and blood vanished, turning into a scene of a white-haired woman and five children . The children were crying and holding onto the woman, except for the older one . Trembling hard, he glared at Pandora with so much hatred that was enough to kill, and let out a scream that resembled a wounded beast,
“You monster! My sister will kill you when she returns! She’s one of the rare geniuses in the Mercenary! She will definitely avenge us!”
Ignoring his words, Pandora turned to Tyre and said,
“Five children and a woman . Any thoughts on this?”
Thoughts?
Disgusting . Tyre furrowed his brows . He could see that the woman was blind, even her hands, which held onto her children trembled, yet the look of determination on her face made a tug in his heart .
“What do you want?”
“Beg me, just beg me, and I will let these humans go . ”
There was something different in Pandora’s voice as if making Tyre open his mouth to beg gives it a sense of achievement and satisfaction .

Tyre pondered for a moment . Giving one glance to the boy and the woman in the projection, he finally opened his mouth and said,
“Pandora, I’m begging to not kill them . ”
“Oh no, that’s too easy . What I want is you giving me one eye of yours as a sacrificial offering . ” Pandora said smugly .
Tyre shook his head, “That’s impossible . ”
“Oh? Are you sure? As long as you dig out one eye, six people can live in return . There is no loss in this deal . ” Pandora said, its tone laced with a hint of happiness . Behind it was the boy looking at Tyre with pleading eyes . The other children cried harder at this, while the woman remained silent .
Tyre shook his head without hesitation . If he saved them this time, Pandora will find another group of victims to threaten him again . And if this goes on multiple times, he could very well die from all the harm he will have to inflict onto his body . He would be better off refusing to comply with these deals from the start .
Saving lives? He is not kind enough to save the lives of strangers whom he never met before .
Pandora seemed to feel sorry about it . Shaking its head, it said,
“Looks like I will have an extra meal today . ”
The next moment, unveiling before his eyes was a scene so brutal and violent that even Tyre had to close his eyes after witnessing it halfway .
The desperate and painful screams echoed in his head, and he felt a slight tug on his heart after meeting the furious eyes the boy gave him before dying . Yet that was all . Tyre was not going to change his morales because of the others .
But Pandora…… if this continues, it will only murder more commoners . Reminding himself to not let his emotions take over, Tyre turned off the Magical Projection Stone and sent a Magical Sound to the Mercenary of Milliac Kingdom, deciding that the bounty for Pandora would be 80000 gold coins . If things go smoothly, they will start the hunt in a week .

As intelligent as Pandora is, it would not be able to survive being wanted by so many metal-grade mercenaries .
He was left with no other choice . Although slaughtering Pandora with his own bare hands would be much more meaningful, allowing the monster to run loose will only cause them the lives of more people . It does not make sense for him to prioritise his own feelings . He could use some help from the mercenaries to relieve some of his stress .
After his bath, Tyre stepped out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel, only to see three people staring at him .
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re just like a lotus out of the water~ never thought that Tyre looked this flirtatious after coming out from the bath . ”
Flirtatious your head! Tyre rolled his eyes at Constantine . Bayun Xiaoqi, on the other hand, remarked,
“Tyre, since your face doesn’t have any inhumane changes, you don’t have to put on a mask . This is fine . ”
Tyre nodded after pondering for a second . Yet he has always been wearing a mask before, will it raise suspicions if he abandons it all of a sudden? Still, if even his closest roommates did not mind, there is no need for him to hide anymore .
Although he’s still behind a fake face, it feels much more comfortable than before .
Claude was smiling too . He looked at the clock on the wall and asked,
“Tyre, can I take you somewhere as an apology for following you last time?”
Apology? This sparked Tyre’s interest . He asked,

“What apology?”
The others, including Constantine seemed to be interested as well . Unfortunately, Claude decided to leave them in suspense . Going down the bed and putting on his shoes, he replied,
“Just follow me . Oh and Constantine, you’re not allowed to follow us . ”
Constantine shrugged innocently . It was just a sudden spark of interest, plus Claude expressed his interest in it as well - no one knows why he became the one to blame right now .
Bayun Xiaoqi did not seem to mind, waving Claude and Tyre goodbye .
All of a sudden, only Bayun Xiaoqi and Constantine are left in the room .
“Hey~ Xiaoqi~”
“Leave me alone, stop looking like an idiot . ”
“Don’t say that, aren’t we best friends?”
“Do you want death?”

Both of them remained silent as they walked along the streets leading to the high-speed railway station, their hands in their pockets . It took them a long while for Claude to finally speak .
“About what happened previously, it’s really… . . . ”
“Don’t apologize, Claude . It’s mostly my fault . ” Tyre shook his head and turned to look at Claude .
“I can’t control my feelings as freely as I imagined . ”
Claude laughed softly . “Don’t think that I’ll stop suspecting you now that I have apologized . ”
“What?”
“Your relationship with Lunaria . Although both of you have claimed to lose your memories, it’s still obvious that there’s a link between you two . I’ll maintain my suspicion . ” Claude said, smiling . Tyre does not seem to be affected by his tone .
Shrugging, he said, “Whatever floats your boat . The innocent will remain that way . It’s not like I have been guilty of anything since I had a memory anyways . ”
“Haha, I trust you, Tyre . Come on, we’ll be late for the train,” said Claude, walking faster . Tyre caught up, smiling after Claude’s back .
Don’t you know? Young Master Claude .
You saved me .
You were the one who pulled me back to reality from the ocean of memories .
It was a feeling Tyre has never experienced before . Claude just seemed to have such an aura that is naturally attractive to the others . As selfish as he is, he cannot help but respect Claude from the bottom of his heart .
Perhaps it is a good thing to become a friend or even the right-hand man of his .
