Chapter 018

By the time Devitt finished his day's work, it was already late at night.

Thirty-seven hours had passed since they left the Libick star. According to the total journey of three days, the capital star wasn't far away. Pausing by the window for a moment, Devitt looked at the route map appearing on the glass, his gaze landing on the destination-the light circle representing the capital star, Asher.

The capital star was where Devitt grew up, but perhaps, as his mother said, the blood of the borderlands ran in his veins. For him, the borderlands had always been the closest place. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the capital star, he preferred the endless feeling the borderlands gave him.

But going back was inevitable. Thinking about what Kase mentioned earlier about Cook, Devitt's expressionless face seemed to grow even colder.

Seek peace with Yuta Star? When Yuta Star secretly conducted experiments on the Assyrians, countless people suffered. When it was discovered, a war broke out. His father and soldiers fought desperately to defeat Yuta Star's first fleet. Yuta Star excelled in information interception, so in that bloody battle, many people went out as a whole team. For the sake of intelligence and the overall situation, the entire team risked their lives to protect one person and ensured his return to the camp. And many of those who survived were still in his legion.

He was in a coma for a month. In Cook's eyes, it was probably not much different from being dead. Devitt didn't mind how others perceived him, but if this matter of seeking peace with Yuta Star were allowed to continue, all the warriors of the borderlands would probably be disheartened.

They lost to the insect race, but they would never lose to Yuta Star. In the past, present, and in the face of a major enemy, an alliance was possible, but not by directly compromising national dignity and seeking peace in a humble manner. Especially after he just read in the official documents that Cook even intended to use a small part of the information within the Borderland Legion as an exchange to show sincerity in seeking peace.

A storm surged in his eyes beneath his eyelashes, but soon, he felt the energy nucleus throbbing faintly. Devitt pursed his lips into a straight line. With his frequency of energy storms and mental detachment, coupled with the almost helpless progress of the empire in this regard, it wouldn't be long before he faced death. But guarding the border defense line, like his father, he would persist until the last second of his life.

Rubbing his nose, Devitt took a shower after closing the terminal. He walked into the room lightly and saw the little white fox curled up next to the pillow, fast asleep. His steps paused, and his gaze suddenly softened.

Wen Jin has always been on the bed. This little fellow is afraid of the cold, though he is reluctant to admit it. Devitt, being a human furnace, has undoubtedly improved his quality of sleep, especially during times of serious injuries. So, when he first arrived, he shamelessly abandoned his dignity and chose to sleep on the bed, a practice he hadn't done since his siblings and parents.

Devitt doesn't mind whether a person can share a bed with a beast. He thoroughly implements the belief of treating his own beast well. He knows the little guy is afraid of the cold, and sometimes, he even wants to let it sleep under the blanket. However, it always refuses, doesn't want a new blanket, and continues to sleep by the pillow.

Quietly getting into bed, Devitt stared at the fox curled up at the pillow for a moment. Suddenly feeling a bit itchy, his fingers gently touched Wen Jin's head. Seeing the little one sleep so soundly without reacting to his movements, Devitt then pinched its paw, the soft fur on its belly, and finally, he carefully rubbed all the sleek fur on Wen Jin's head against the grain.
