Outside the labyrinth, Leonard was mentally shaken.

'Someone cleared 5 floors of the labyrinth and only in a few hours.'

This was unprecedented, but when he was the red light on the slate becoming yellow, he was overjoyed.

'So they are stopping at the 5th floor,' tears of happiness started coming out of his eyes, which he forcefully suppressed.

A moment later, his eyes turned cold.

'Who the fuck was that who managed to clear 5 floors this early?' Although he was enraged, he wouldn't recklessly confront them. If they have the power to clear 5 floors. Killing him would be like taking candy from a child.

Leonard was not the only one. Everyone who saw the slate turning yellow was waiting to know who was behind the cause of such phenomena.

Many reporters' camera's, and eyes were fixed on the large gate of the labyrinth. Waiting for the arrival of someone.

The members of the Awakened Association and many other big families were waiting to get those people to join.

Soon the light turned green, confirming the arrival of the party. They all focused on the gate, but no one appeared.

Everyone had their eyes wide open in shock. Leonard frowned at the sight.

'Is it an invisibility skill?' Thinking that Leonard rushed forward to disrupt their invisibility, he moved his hands here and there but was met only with air.

Everyone who saw Leonard dancing as a monkey, snickered.

"This bastard has lost it."

"But that dance was funny."

''Hahaha.''

Leonard glared at the people who were making fun of him and said coldly.

"Shut up!"

They immediately did what was told to them. Leonard's killing intent was very terrifying. Adding from his previous life and the killing he did in this life.

Everyone near him backed off, sensing the blood lust.

A man with a dark robe who was looking at Leonard's actions smirked and uttered.

"Interesting. Teleport." He muttered while disappearing from there.

Leonard was rubbing his head in frustration.

"Just you wait. I'll find out whoever you are and butcher you."

When Shin came outside the dungeon, he was glad that he had used Shadow Veil beforehand.

"It seems our actions had turned into much big of a deal." He didn't want to get tangled up in this commotion. Others needed rest. He had to return home fast.

He immediately used his Gravity Manipulation and started floating with the others who were unconscious. They floated above the large crowd they had gathered from their actions and immediately landed in an open space.

Shin looked around and searched for a good hotel nearby. He went to the reception and booked two rooms. He didn't have much money to book four separate rooms. Under the confused and passionate eyes of the receptionist, Shin took the keys.

He let Alice and Elena sleep in one room and Simon took the bed in the other. Laying their unconscious bodies separately. He went to the balcony to call his dad.

[What happened Shin? Sorry, I'm a little busy.] Alfred's hasty voice sounded from the other side.

He immediately started telling his father about the others' conditions.

Alfred's jaw dropped.

[You are telling me. You four were the ones behind the incident?] Alfred asked again to confirm.

"Yes, we were," Shin affirmed.

[Hash] he sighed.

[So are they okay now?] Alfred asked with a worried face. He had been treating Alice like his own daughter and Simon and Elena were the children of his friend who passed away. He had to take responsibility for them.

"Yeah, they are only unconscious," Shin replied as he had already checked them with his appraisal.

[I'll send a doctor just in case. Tell me the hotel you are staying at,] Alfred asked.

"Maple delight, room numbers, 201 and 202."

Half an hour later, a doctor arrived with a suitcase hanging at his waist.

"Are you Shin Wolner?" the Doctor asked to confirm.

"Yes, I am. Come doctor, here are the patients."

The doctor didn't waste any time and did a check-up on all three. "There are no injuries, but they are over exhausted.''

"I recommend them to take some rest. But just in case there's something wrong, call me when they are awake. I'm taking their blood samples for testing." Shin nodded his head as he escorted the doctor outside.

***

Reina and Alfred wanted to come, but Shin explained there was nothing to worry about.

"I'll bring them home once they are awake." As the call ended, tears started forming in his eyes.

"If only I wasn't reckless. Nothing of this sort had happened." He slapped himself in anger.

"I almost lost Alice and my friends." Thinking of that, his face darkened. 'Just what is this painful feeling? We had both known each other for only a few days. So why am I so worried about her? Like she is a part of me.' His left chest started burning again as he rubbed it to calm down. But every time he thinks about losing Alice, this pain intensifies.

He started remembering everything about Alice. From the day they met.

At first, she was just like a little girl to him. When he saw her fighting power. He immediately wanted her to be his team member. As she told him her story, he felt pity for this girl.

He felt she was very lonely and wanted to give her the familial love she lost. At first, he worried she might feel uncomfortable. But when he saw her happy face every day. Something inside him slowly changed. He wanted to make her happier. He wanted to see her smiling.

When she confessed by mistake, he was happy, thinking at least she liked him.

But today when he saw her desperate face. Which told him that she didn't want to lose him. Something inside him clicked.

He forgot about everything. His pain, his lost arm, everything. There was only one thought in his mind. If he loses Alice, he won't be able to live.

He will return to be the trash he was.

While rubbing the tears from his eyes. Shin muttered.

"Am I in love?"
