Chapter 178 - Fall In Love With Her More

(Tom's PoV)

I was so pathetic. How could I puke that bad? In front of Jane, out of all people. It was an utter humiliation to me.

But, how could she withstand the disgusting smell? She really made me looked like a pathetic guy when she stood there, looking good and strong, like a valiant hero saving her damsel in distress.

Ah, it was embarrassing, but I really couldn't stand the smell. How did she do it?

Well, at least, I was not the only who retched my guts. I looked at the man not far from me. His pale face lifted my mood. I closed my eyes for a moment. Jane was still with the shadow. However, I wasn't worried since I used my chains to tie him up. If he made any attempts to run away or to hurt her, I could feel it since the chains were connected to me.

I could crush him with one hand before he could do it.

Inside my consciousness, Putra was throwing a fit ever since I threatened the shadow to throw him in the Death Volcano.

"Don't you dare! Don't you dare bringing him here!" He shouted in anger. "There's no way I will allow someone as nasty as him to come down here! I don't need him to nourish the lava! I don't need him! Don't bring him here!"

"Don't you think he can be good firewood for your lava? After all, his level of evil is not average." I said to him, ignoring his rage.

"No means no!" Putra glared at me.

"Fine." I rolled my eyes and closed my connection with him. I lied, of course. My anger for being humiliated in front of Jane would not diminish with just a punch or two.

Not that I was going to tell Putra about it.

"Sit down."

I opened my eyes only to find Siji looking down at me in a mocking gaze. What the…

"Sit properly and channel your energy to your stomach. Do as I say and follow my instruction closely. You, too, if you want to." Siji said to Sanji who did his instruction quickly.

I had no other choice as I sat on the ground with crossed legs, following his instruction. Several minutes later, I could feel my body lightened up and the terrible feelings I experienced because of vomiting too much disappeared.

"Later on, both of you will follow my training. Jane has arranged for you two to train your senses to avoid something like today happens in the future." Siji said calmly.

"Do you mean, Jane has trained herself to face things like this?" What kind of training was it that it could make my sweet Jane to be able to block her senses like that?

I was curious, but I was also a bit terrified. I doubted that Siji was a kind instructor. He was anything but kind in my mind. He was genius and loyal, but he was also someone who was manipulative and cruel.

"Now get up. Jane has gone to the mastermind's place. You better prepare yourself just in case she calls you." After saying that, Siji walked away calmly. His white robe fluttered with the wind.

I got up and dusted my pants from any dirt. Then, I walked towards the shadow who was kneeling on the ground being held down by my chains and something that Jane put on him. It was invisible, but since I saw it lit up with blue fires, I knew it was there.

To be honest, what Jane did back then was beautiful. She looked like she was dancing; a lazy dance since she rarely moved from the spot she was standing on. But, her arms, hands and fingers moved so smoothly and gently that I thought she was dancing. The highlight of what she did was when the fire lit up in a big blue fire.

It was so beautiful, but at the same time I felt I was not good enough. I needed to train myself harder so that she didn't need to take care of small things like these. I was the General, but she ended up doing everything alone since I was too busy… vomiting.

Ugh, only the thought of it could make me boiling up in anger.

Calm down, Tom, calm down.

"Scan this area, check for any other shadows. If there is any, exterminate. We don't know how long we will have to be in this forest, we need to be extra more careful. Go." I ordered some of the men.

In a flash, around fifty of them moved in a small group to scout on the area. I dismissed the rest of them back to the camp. Jane was really going all out by summoning them all here. I could even feel the flow of energy belonged to her and me flowed steadily towards the army. Even I, as the General, got my fair share of it.

The most shocking discovery was she was still able to do the attacks and even transferred herself to the place where the mastermind was by searching the connection in the shadow's mind. It was not an easy thing to do. It required spiritual power as well as superb mental power to achieve it.

Compared to her, I was still a rookie.

No, it wouldn't do. I needed to be strong, too. It should be me who protected her, not the other way around. No matter how hard the training was, I would definitely do my best and ace it.

I was still lost in my mind when I felt a warm sensation from my feet. It was as if someone was telling me that I was being summoned. Smoke rose from the ground under my feet and enveloped me and the shadow. I let the warm sensation enveloped me and I felt something shifted under my feet. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in a different place.

Jane was standing there. She looked relieved when she looked at me. But, since we were not the only ones here, I couldn't say sweet words to her. I looked at the other person in the room; an old man. Was he the master?

"He is the one you're waiting for, right?" She smiled, but I could feel the coldness in her smile. "Now that you've met each other, any last words?"

She sounded like a mafia; even her words carried killing intent. She really meant her every word. I couldn't see the sweet and s.e.xy Jane this time, only a ruthless Jane; the girl who had hardened her heart to wipe out every evil in this world.

However, despite how ruthless she sounded be, or how overbearing she looked like, I couldn't hate her or despise her.

Instead, I fell in love with her more.
