Little Three fell flat on his face with a "splat."
After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Chloe with teary eyes.
Seeing this, Chloe immediately became concerned—
Oh no, Little Three was already stupid, what if he became even dumber after hitting his head?
She was so worried that she almost forgot about the sea urchin she needed to focus on dealing with, and started running towards Little Three instead.
Little Three's act of playing injured didn't last more than five seconds before he broke character. He dashed in front of Chloe in one swift move, shielding her from the sea urchin's incoming spines.
He roared at the sea urchin, his tentacles flailing wildly. With his remaining tentacles, he swept Chloe and Anderson behind him, and bravely charged forward himself!
Chloe was immediately moved and exclaimed:
"What a hero, Little Three is a hero!"
Anderson choked on several mouthfuls of dust and couldn't help but cough a few times.
He then turned around to wipe Chloe's face clean with a handkerchief, and helped her stand up from the ground.
His voice was low: "There are still many soldiers around, let's go take care of them."
"No," Chloe said, "That stupid sea urchin has pissed me off. I'm not Chloe if I don't beat it black and blue today."
Anderson opened his mouth, wanting to say something but held back: "...Alright."
In the next moment, Chloe, who had just been protected by Little Three, spread her wings and took flight again. Spell after spell rained down, a trail of sparks and lightning, nearly roasting the sea urchin.
The sea urchin was furious and lunged towards Chloe.
Seeing this, how could Little Three stand idly by?
Roaring, he charged forward, his tentacles lashing out and successfully intercepting the sea urchin heading for Chloe.
The sea urchin, now redirecting its hatred, was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of its head. Though it was hard to tell if the smoke was from its anger or from Chloe's relentless spells.
The scene was in constant flux.
With Chloe's incantations, lightning bolts as thick as tree trunks came snaking down at high speed, striking the sea urchin with earth-shattering booms.
Not far away, Daniel, who was about to finish his part of the battlefield, looked towards Chloe's direction and remarked admiringly:
"That must be Chloe's doing."
Qin Huaibei: "Who else could it be?"
In the sky, Ren Yunying, who had just dropped off Little Three, took it upon herself to throw down the fantasy species as well.
The lion-cat, just before landing, once again transformed into a bizarre creature composed of countless animals.
Tiger head, snake body, eagle wings, and chicken claws.
And enormous in size.
Behind her was Ren Yunying, who had followed her.
"Is that the boss of the Viper Group?"
"Yes," Chloe said, as she fished out a pair of handcuffs from Ren Yunying's pocket and swiftly cuffed Sotos' hands, saying with satisfaction, "All done!"
Sotos: "..."
He looked at Chloe with gloomy eyes.
Chloe blinked: "You're not expecting me to return your food, are you? That's not possible!"
She exaggerated: "I've already eaten it, swallowed it into my stomach, and it's probably about to come out the other end. How could I possibly give it back to you!"
Ren Yunying: "..."
Sotos: "..."
Sotos closed his eyes, probably unwilling to believe that he had been defeated by such a nonsensical little brat.
The Viper Group's vicious and so-called glorious history finally came to an end at this moment.
The base was blown to smithereens, all research results burned to ashes.
Including those captured hostages, who were safely escorted home.
After all this, Chloe was utterly exhausted.
She stood in place, and the next second her body fell backwards.
But as expected, Chloe didn't fall to the ground.
She fell into a familiar embrace.
Warm and broad, with a faint bitter medicinal scent.
It was Anderson.

Such news reports emerged in abundance, exploding like fireworks across the Star Network.
Meanwhile, Chloe, hailed as a hero by the entire continent's population, was sound asleep in bed.
Outside the room, Xavier lowered his eyes, his slender fingers tapping the table repeatedly.
After a long while, he said in a low voice:
"Is that antidote really effective?"
