Zach's mouth hung open slightly as he blankly looked at everyone in the room.
"So, you want to bench me, the strongest in the club, just because I didn't get a little beauty sleep?" Zach couldn't believe it.
"It's not just sleep. When was the last time you took a bath?"
"Are you really the strongest, though?" Nessa asked.
Zach ignored Anerias' question and turned to Nessa.
"Who are you saying is stronger than me?" He pointed at Liam.
"Liam? A fish and a crow. Before either scratches my barrier, he'll already be a goner. The same with everyone else in this room. Pure combat strength aside, if anything happens in the sewers, my barriers are the only things that will save everyone. And you're saying I sit this one out?"
"Tha—"
Zach interrupted Nessa before she could explain.
