Chapter 118: Does She Look That Scary?

Although he felt a bit ashamed, Leo Lowell knew this was not the time to hide anything.

With barely any hesitation, Leo Lowell told the truth.

"My storage space is full."

Saying something like this to a young girl—a young girl who was much stronger than him, no less—made Leo Lowell feel more than a little ashamed.

But Candice Tate didn’t seem to mind at all.

She just nodded and pointed at the things in front of them. "Then what should we do with all this?"

Before Leo Lowell could answer, Candice Tate had already offered her own suggestion.

"Let’s just eat it ourselves!"

Leo Lowell wasn’t sure if they were allowed to, his expression hesitant. "Can we? Wouldn’t that be wrong?"

"Of course we can!" Candice Tate didn’t hesitate for a second. "I’m the one who made these grow. I can let whoever I want eat them!"

Her logic was flawless.

Leo Lowell couldn’t think of a reason to refuse.

Jayce glanced over at them. "In that case, let’s eat our fill!"

As he spoke, he raised his wrist to check the time. "It’s getting late. Eat up. We’ll all head downstairs in half an hour."

Based on his own experience and his understanding of Sierra, she would be out of her room in about half an hour.

Leo Lowell had no idea why they had to wait another half hour.

But Jayce had such a powerful presence that Leo didn’t dare object, so he could only nod in agreement.

Just as Jayce had predicted, Sierra Sullivan walked out of her room a little over half an hour later.

The moment he saw Sierra Sullivan, Jayce could tell that her Superpower had grown significantly. She had reached the Third Level, at least.

"Sierra, you did it!"

It wasn’t a question, but a statement of fact.

Sierra Sullivan smiled as she walked over and nodded. "Yep, I did it! I’m at the Third Level now!"

Hearing this, Leo Lowell finally understood what the two of them were talking about.

For a moment, he was at a complete loss for words.

Third Level!

The Third Level was so difficult to reach!

He’d never even met anyone at that level before!

But now, there were suddenly three of them right in front of him!

’Do powerful people only stick together?’

’If I stay with them, will I become powerful too?’

At the mere thought, Leo Lowell’s heart began to beat a little faster.

Just then, Sierra Sullivan glanced over at him. "Why did you stop?"

Leo Lowell’s face instantly flushed red. He shot up from the sofa, nervous and fidgety.

"It’s my fault... My storage space is full..."

Seeing him act like this, Sierra Sullivan was rather confused.

’Why is he suddenly so tense?’

’I was just asking. There was no hidden meaning behind it!’

’Do I really look that scary?’

"You don’t have to be so nervous... I didn’t mean anything by it, it was just an offhand question... If you can’t fit any more, then don’t worry about it. We can just make two trips instead of one. It’ll be a good way to train and improve your Superpower, too."

Sierra Sullivan was just being honest.

But when Leo Lowell heard this, he sighed internally. ’So she does look down on me after all!’

’As expected, a powerhouse like Captain Sullivan would only be interested in people who were even stronger.’

’People like...’

Leo Lowell secretly glanced toward Jayce, only to meet his gaze.

Jayce raised an eyebrow, understanding in an instant.

’This kid!’

’Hmph!’

Jayce didn’t take him seriously at all.

’There’s no way Sierra would be interested in a little kid like him.’

’Whatever ideas he has are just wishful thinking.’

’However... this could be a good opportunity to act cute and get some attention from Sierra...’

As he thought this, the corners of Jayce’s mouth curled into a smile.
