I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 68: Hero(5)

Lance glared at Luke.

"If a dumb asshole wanted to solo save an entire kingdom without proper sleep, rest, and food for three days while absorbing withered souls. Yes, WITHERED SOULS, I am even surprised as to why you are still alive yet."

Luke sighed and looked down.

"I'm sorry..."

"Yeah, you better be, asshole."

Lance huffed and puffed while crossing his arms. When Ruth called him, he felt like he was a parent of a troublemaker in school. Really, even Ruth almost bawled in front of him while explaining what happened. In the past few days, Liam has always been guarding Luke, almost without sleep. If it wasn't for Julius convincing him to sleep, he wouldn't even budge an inch. Lina and Selena are playing cards together, muttering angrily about Luke's stupidity. Julius is the only one who manages to pull the group together while Lance is still not here.

"Anyway, how are the people of the Gron kingdom doing? Did Selena heal the rest of them?"

Lance nodded. He then saw Luke sighing and attempting to stand up. Lance immediately pressed his shoulders down. Luke looked at him as if he was asking 'what are you doing?' to him. Lance's lips twisted and his frown buried even deeper.

"Rest."

"But-"

"Shut up, I'm not going to listen to you."

"I want to go home...."

"Then rest."

"Why?"

Lance glared at Luke, who seemed to be clueless.

"Once you go home, I bet that you'll do something again."

Luke looked at Lance with surprise.

'How did he know?'

Luke began to wonder if Lance had the ability to read people's minds. He plans to check out the Zorst potion that Bell is currently creating in the palace. It's about time for Bell to finish the potion. He needed to immediately go to Thea kingdom after Bell had finished creating the potion. He needed to save the princess and... He has to meet the God of Darkness's priestess in there.

Lance looks at Luke's surprised face with suspicion.

'So I was right, huh?'

Lance clicked his tongue and stood up. He then pointed his finger at Luke as if he was warning him.

"Stay, don't you dare move."

Luke looked at Lance blankly. Lance then walked out of the room.

Click

The room became quiet after Lance left. Now Luke is alone. He then felt something squirming on the bed.

"D-dad?"

"I thought I told you to not call me dad."

"Dad!"

Nash's invisible body jumped towards Luke. Luke then caught him and patted his back with a blank face. He then heard Nash sniffing.

"Y-you are finally awake! Hic! I am so worried!"

Luke slowly patted his head and stroked his fluffy black fur.

"...Sorry."

Nash just rubbed his cheeks on Luke's chest. Luke just sighed.

Bang!

"Shi-!"

Luke jumped up from his bed and looked at the door that suddenly went flying across the room. He then saw Liam looking at him with wide eyes. The rest of the group, including Lance, were all behind Liam. Liam then charged towards Luke, which made Luke move back to his bed. Liam stooped one step away from Luke and scanned his whole body. Liam's actions made Luke uncomfortable, so he started to speak up.
