Chereads / DUNGEON HUNTER: Rise to the Top / Chapter 19 - Sly Fox

Chapter 19 - Sly Fox

When Aron returned home and told Evelyn about his recruitment into All Stars, for some reason, Evelyn started frowning. Thinking that Evelyn was worried about him entering higher leveled dungeons, Aron tried explaining himself. However, Evelyn was too busy scolding Alissa to notice.

"That sly fox! How dare she try to take my brother away from me!"

Evelyn wasn't very worried for Aron. She was more anxious about Alissa stealing her brother away from her. After all, from the story Alissa told her, she had long ago discovered that along with his new looks, Aron had newly discovered powers. She had deduced that Aron had the power to steal abilities, a skill she had only heard about in manga. Immediately, she wanted to brag to her friends (who always dissed her brother), however, she concluded that the reason Aron had kept his abilities a secret from her was because of that very reason; he knew she would disclose it to everyone. So, Evelyn decided to keep quiet and not make Aron upset. Instead, she decided that she would take him to school one day and show off his looks to everyone.

However, before that, she needed to get the vixen, Alissa, off of Aron. She was about to stop Aron from entering the dungeon with Alissa, but the contract stated that neither party could back out of their deal. Also, Evelyn had never seen Aron this happy, ever since the day their dad died. Aron was too busy taking caring of her and her mom that he never got to enjoy life for himself. Evelyn decided not to hold Aron back and bit her lip. Though she wasn't stopping Aron, that didn't mean she accepted Alissa.

She consoled herself with the thought that Aron would be too busy fighting and was too dense to notice Alissa's advances. But, she still couldn't get the notion of Aron and Alissa returning with their hands intertwined out of her mind.

"Watch out for snakes!" she warned, hoping he would get the message. However, Aron, misunderstanding, wondered how Evelyn knew he was going into the Devil's Tunnel, a dungeon full of venomous snakes and other poisonous creatures.

He quizzically raised his eyebrows and then went upstairs to prepare for his hunt.
