Vayne's gaze quickly swept past the Minotaur. The simple-minded Minotaur merely smiled amiably, seemingly unconcerned at being ignored.
Little Cabbage, standing nearby, froze for a moment. She wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.
She was conflicted now...
When she had encountered Jessica before, the powerful mecha abilities Jessica displayed had given her a glimmer of hope. After Little Cabbage rescued her, Jessica seemed to take a liking to her as well, and Little Cabbage had briefly considered asking her for help.
But in the end, she had not, because Jessica had failed to see through the Minotaur's depth.
Afterward, she encountered even more powerful beings, such as the old man Ge Long, who thought highly of her, and this woman whose life energy was currently exploding out of her.
Little Cabbage swore she had never seen such a powerful life-form. The surging vitality she sensed seemed even more formidable than that of the entire planet combined.
Asking her or Ge Long for help seemed far more reliable than Fatty and Gramps's mecha escape plan.
But whether it was the woman before her or the unfathomably deep Ge Long, neither had been able to see through the Minotaur's true nature. This caused a trace of despair to rise in Little Cabbage's heart.
Yet if even such a powerful woman could not save her, did she really have any chance of escaping the Minotaur's control?
"I'm going to carry out a mission and will be away for a while..." Vayne had not noticed Little Cabbage's abnormality. Her attention was still focused on the thoughtless Gou Dan.
"Really?" Gou Dan's spirits immediately lifted. "That's wonderful... Ahem... I mean, that's such a shame. I was still thinking of having a good training session with you this afternoon, Teacher..."
"Training is a must..."
