Outside the ward, everything was hushed and still. Tuss leaned back in his chair, head tilted upwards, his eyes vacant, the recent scene playing over and over in his mind—the level 10 energy cannon explosion, and Yuri, covered in blood.
The energy was so intense that even level 8 insectoids couldn't withstand it. He could only imagine its devastating power.
And the pain she must've felt.
But there was nothing he could do.
Tuss, the pride of the Alliance, for the first time in twenty years, loathed himself.
"Tuss, you need to get yourself together," Officer Lyao, who was standing beside him, suddenly broke the silence.
Jolted out of his musings, Tuss questioned, "Sir, why did you give Yuri a level 10 energy cannon while I only got a level 7?"
This question had been bugging Tuss for days now.
"Because she is stronger than you," Officer Lyao replied straightforwardly.
Tuss looked slightly taken aback.
