World Evolution! Awakening Limit Grade Talent!

Chapter 120: Follow or not?

Aiden, hearing her mocking words in his mind, chose to ignore her for now as he had decided his first kill would be the little red rabbit he had seen outside, just as shown in the security footage.

"You did a good job finding the rabbit."

Ava, hearing the praise from her leader, shivered slightly in her chair as it was not common for her to be praised like that. She replied to him while looking directly at his handsome face, with passion burning in her eyes.

"Thank you, Leader, but it is only my job. You don't have to praise me for something so little."

Aiden could clearly see the difference in her eyes after the praise, which said she definitely liked it, so he replied to her, thinking that if a little praise would motivate her that much, he wouldn't mind praising her whenever she did something good.

"You don't have to worry about that. It's my job to decide if I'll praise someone or not, so you should continue to look for any more abnormalities."

Ava, hearing his words, hurriedly replied,

"I'm sorry for saying that, Leader."

"I will continue with my job."

Aiden responded, "Good, continue."

All the other ladies, hearing the conversation between the Leader and Ava, also had newfound passion reignite in their eyes, as it was very new to them to be praised by someone.

And the idea of being praised by an overly handsome leader like Aiden excited them to do their job with even more enthusiasm.

Aiden wanted to go out and quickly hunt the rabbit, but he didn't rush and waited for another 15 minutes to see if they could find anything else inside the walls. They found something that made Alicia a little sick to her stomach.

A few hundred meters away from where the bloody rabbit was found earlier, they found the dead bodies of at least 30 rabbits who seemed to have fought each other to the death.

'So the rabbit covered in blood from earlier must be the one who survived their massacre.'

'Is this the reason why it's close to reaching the limit of 10?'

'Yes, this must be the reason, as only one hour has passed since the Evolution—it shouldn't be this fast.'

Now Aiden decided what he had to do, as they couldn't find anything more inside the wall. He spoke in a loud, commanding voice, attracting the attention of every lady present in the room, who was still looking at the monitors, sitting comfortably like Ava.

"Everyone, I have decided, after careful consideration, that we are going to go outside and hunt that rabbit before doing anything else, as I can clearly see that the little rabbit has become powerful after hunting those other rabbits from before."

"And we have to hunt it down before it becomes more powerful, and I'm sure you've all guessed that whatever abnormal things are happening are due to the ancient voice we heard in our minds earlier."

"But it also gave most of us talents and showed that weird green transparent screen, which shows how strong a person actually is. And by using mana, we can use our talents to perform magic, just like my sister and Isla showed us earlier."

"And I think, just like the rabbit from earlier, we will also be able to become powerful and leave our mortal shell, as the ancient voice said."

With a fierce gaze in his deep black eyes, he continued in a serious voice,

"The world has changed. There is no peaceful Earth now, as even a small rabbit has become this deadly. So you can't imagine how powerful a big wild animal has become. Now, it's not an option to sit back and relax, because if we don't hunt and become powerful ourselves, we will be the ones hunted by others."

"And more importantly, animals are the least of our worries. You should know how humans will behave in this apocalypse—it's an opportunity for them to show the world their ugly side and do whatever they want."

Aiden, after saying everything he wanted to, stood there in silence to let them digest everything he had just said.

Alicia, who wasn't entirely serious about everything, now fully understood the seriousness of the situation they were in. After seeing the rabbit earlier, she was prepared for the worst, and listening to everything her little brother said, she fully realized how tough their life was going to become from now on.

She wasn't naive enough to believe that they could survive inside their dome all the time, as the rate at which she had seen the rabbit's growth made her easily imagine these creatures breaking in.

'And I also want to become more powerful and learn more about magic.'

'Because if I'm powerful enough, nobody will dare to look at Aiden ever again in my presence.'

Aiden could now see that everyone's faces had become even more serious than before, so he asked the question he had wanted to before fully deciding whether he would keep these ladies with him in the apocalypse.

"Now, even after knowing all this, will you still follow me as your leader?"

Ava and Isla didn't even think for a second, as they already knew the answer to this. Ava knew Isla wouldn't go anywhere without Aiden, and wherever her sister went, she would follow. It didn't take them any time to think at all.

As they exchanged a knowing glance and nodded to each other, the others who had only followed him because the general ordered them to begin to think a little, as this was a matter of life and death for them.

But remembering what they had seen until now, the little doubt they had quickly vanished, and they still couldn't forget the display of magic Alicia had shown them earlier. Even if Aiden didn't become a strong and commanding leader, they would still happily follow him because of his resources and his sister, who they believed would definitely be a great person in this chaotic new world.

And Alicia also being the niece of their general made it even better for them, as it wouldn't hurt their conscience to follow him, even in name, when he had Alicia backing him, who was also his lover.

At first, Aiden heard three loud "yes" responses right after he announced this, which surprised him a little, as he didn't think someone would put their life on the line for someone else that easily.

Three of the Ten individuals who said "yes" were the ones whose talents he had decided to copy, which made him even more excited.

'Now, even if all the others left me, I wouldn't mind at all. I would feel a little sad, but I got the best two to follow me—the twins and also the lady with the huge assets and supple ass, which is a bonus since she has two talents I'd like to try, even if their ranks are low.'

'And more importantly, even if she's not as beautiful as my sister, her body still makes up for everything, and she's good-looking with her black hair, black eyes, and curvy body.'

He is not kind enough to give those protection in his safe heaven who are not completely loyal to him even if they are given to him by his Aunt. however, what he knows is that if these ladies followed him he wouldn't have to worry about getting betrayed as he doesn't think his Aunt would send someone to protect them for a year without fully trusting them.

'I hope they will choose for better as I also don't want them to leave'

'But if they rejected him he doesn't mind leaving them in this dangerous world after giving them many weapons as I still appreciated their protection for these years'
