Zephan frowned.
"I can't allow that. We'll leave, draft a report, and the Underworld will send another team to rescue her."
I shook my head.
"Zephan, I'm rescuing her."
My tone made it clear it wasn't a request.
I didn't reveal the real reason.
I had to stay behind to exorcise this Cursed Spirit.
I already had a few clues, and I was sure it would work.
Once these people left, they would report everything, and that report would spread news about Area 51, making it stronger.
I was already here.
I had already taken down one Cursed Spirit.
Why should I leave?
Leaving now would only make this Cursed Spirit stronger.
This was my best chance to exorcise it completely.
Zephan gave a small, wry smile when he saw I was not budging.
"I've heard the Monkey King was kind, strong, but also annoyingly arrogant. I never understood how someone could be kind and arrogant at the same time… but now I get it."
He sighed.
