"He asked for it."
Link didn't feel sorry for Lokan at all.
The situation had developed to this point purely because Lokan did not have a clear self-awareness.
Sage Serene had never led Lokan on. She had always directly expressed her attitude and never concealed her adoration for Palo.
It was Lokan who was always harboring illusions, unable to accept reality.
Like a bitter drink that hurts upon swallowing, he was solely responsible for his misery.
Having fallen to this point, no one would pity him, and all would think it served him right.
"Let's dismiss."
Having said this, he didn't pay attention to the three witches who became interested in the drama after calming down, and Link went straight back to his assigned laboratory.
The test results of the new version of the "Empowerment" potion had come out, just in time.
After reviewing each piece of the test data, overall, Link was very satisfied.
