Amid the chaos unfolding inside the caged arena, there was nothing stopping Aron from entering the fight. The guard who usually stationed himself beside the cage door, meant to prevent exactly this kind of intrusion, was already unconscious on the ground. He had been one of the first to attack Aron earlier, and Aron had dealt with him without hesitation.
Now, after learning what the host had revealed and after taking care of what needed to be done, Aron saw only one objective left in front of him: he had to assist Na.
There was a brief moment, only a breath long, where Aron considered a different option.
What if he simply left Na to his fate?
It wouldn't be difficult. Na was already battered, barely standing, practically a lost cause. There was a chance that Evon wouldn't push things past the point of death. Superhuman or not, Na was durable. He might survive. He might limp away from this battered but alive.
A darker thought followed.
Doesn't he somewhat deserve a beating?
