Chapter 50: Only One Gets Hurt
If possible, Ascalon wouldn't want to believe this was true, but the facts were laid out before her.
Is this guy some legendary giant beast from Yan?
Kal'tsit held the photo, not saying a word.
"Theresa..."
Meanwhile, the white-haired Doctor huddled in the corner cast a gloomy look at Theresa.
"Doctor, what's wrong?"
Theresa asked with concern. The Doctor had indeed been very busy these past few days. If he wasn't feeling well, it was necessary for him to rest.
The Doctor pointed at the photo in his hand, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing.
"When you signed the agreement before..."
He didn't need to finish his sentence; Theresa instantly understood what he meant.
She also revealed a somewhat embarrassed smile:
"Sorry, I didn't consider this situation before."
The Doctor dejectedly lowered his head. Do you think I enjoy playing from behind? Do you think
playing from behind every day is easy? It's all forced upon me!
Now that Babel finally has such a strong operator who can single-handedly hold off the Blood Demon King + an entire vanguard army!
But it turns out we can't deploy him? What a waste of talent using him to guard the gate or something, isn't that a crime?
Do you know how much more leeway my tactics would have with such a powerhouse?
Wouldn't it be better if I could just drop my invincible Kevin somewhere?
Now, because of a mistake in a single agreement, poof, all of that is gone!

Sanity zero, the white-haired beauty collapsed onto the table.
"For those who are extraordinary, their compensation should also be extraordinary."
"Hmm?"
Ascalon looked at this old lynx with confusion.
"Kal'tsit means we need to reassess Mr. Kevin's treatment issue."
Theresa softly explained.
——————
"Really... completely unharmed?"
Anton gripped the inspection report in her hand. No matter how she checked, there wasn't a single trace of injury on Kevin's body.
"Kevin, are you some kind of superman?"
She joked with a smile.
"Everyone has different definitions of that."
He replied.
The concept of "superman" was clearly not on the same wavelength between Anton and Kevin's understanding, but they could still converse normally.
See, this is the charm of language, isn't it?
"I told you, Boss Kevin would be fine, but you just wouldn't believe it."
No one understands Boss Kevin better than her, no one!
W opened her eyes, only to find Kevin had already walked behind her.
"Boss Kevin, where are you going?"
"To find the Doctor."
——————
Knock knock knock—
"Come in."
The Doctor's flat voice came from inside the door.
The person outside turned the handle and entered.
"Kevin?"
She put down her pen and looked at the newcomer with confusion.
During this period, the Doctor and Kevin could be considered among the few people who could actually talk to each other.
"Mhm."
Kevin sat on the chair in front of her, the two facing each other.
"So, the entire incident happening was your guidance."
Kevin seemed thoughtful, but there wasn't a hint of doubt in his words. On the contrary, he was very certain of his speculation.
"Correct."
The Doctor nodded, acknowledging Kevin's thought.
"What guidance??!!"
W sitting between them was a bit confused. What kind of development is this?!
Didn't we just start talking? Why is your topic jump so exaggerated?
"Coincidence."
Kevin's gaze remained flat.
"Huh?"
"Don't you think there are too many coincidences?"
"Is... is there a problem?"
W scratched her head. She... she didn't think so. But since Boss Kevin said so, there must be a reason, right?
Kevin was stunned. The Doctor was also stunned. The two looked at W, their strange gazes and the atmosphere making her feel a bit restless.
It was a kind of intellectual superiority.
"If you have questions, just say them! Why are you looking at me like that? Sarkaz profanity!"
W erupted in flustered anger. The two then tacitly withdrew their gazes.
Indeed, they shouldn't have held any expectations for this American cockroach. The two exchanged a glance of agreement, as if both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
"A very rough plan."
"After all, it was improvised."
Recalling the plan at the time, the Doctor quite agreed with Kevin's statement.
"I also didn't expect W could get you to join the mission."
This was what surprised her.
"What?! You used me!"
W realized belatedly, standing up, almost grabbing the Doctor by the collar.
"Actually, I didn't have that thought initially."
The Doctor didn't deny the word "used."
"Mhm, mostly going with the flow."
Kevin propped his chin with two fingers.
The location and timing of Ace's team's withdrawal, even the time Manfred and his group arrived, almost perfectly intersected with Kevin and W's altered return route.
It was as if the route change due to moving from a safe zone to enemy territory was also calculated.
"You were so sure we'd definitely return from there?"
"Just a cost-free probe."
The Doctor looked flatly at W. Why not do something that costs nothing?
"But I didn't anticipate your strength..."
She actually had Ascalon arranged to meet Ace's team at their predetermined arrival point. After all, as Babel's backbone, elite operators aren't "pawns" that can be sacrificed in large numbers.
But in fact, her subsequent series of arrangements to deal with the Blood Demon King weren't used at all.
Kevin's brute force directly disrupted the entire plan's deployment. One
person chopped down the Blood Demon King and intimidated the entire vanguard army from advancing for a day.
If she had known beforehand and made arrangements in advance, taking out eighty to ninety percent of this vanguard army's forces wouldn't have been a problem. But unfortunately, she didn't understand Kevin...
Thinking of this reminded her of that teeth-grinding agreement.
Theresa, good job you did.
She also wants to experience this kind of brute-force combat! Let all those damn strategies get lost.
"How can you admit something like this with a straight face?"
W could no longer fathom the thickness of the Doctor's skin. Isn't she feeling guilty at all?
"Because those involved already know the truth. There's no need for deception."
After saying this, the Doctor added:
"Oh, of course, I'm not targeting you specifically."
W's face darkened. Her hand went into her pocket where there was a "potato." She really wanted to give this annoying guy some fun right now.
"Although it's inconsequential, I don't want there to be a next time."
"If you wish."
The two reached a consensus.
Kevin wasn't here to assign blame. He didn't mind small probes at all. One could even say this is something those in power should do.
The Doctor also didn't justify herself. She believed her actions were normal.
In fact, this conversation provided both sides with a platform for frank communication. There would be much less trivial matters and troubles afterward.
So, only one gets hurt. Who could it be?
