Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 348

Kyle gulped.

Naturally, the explosion had come from him.

He had used it to throw Lily away from the Metal Elemental.

'Fuck, I knew this would happen,' he thought. 'But I couldn't just let Lily die, right?'

'They also already invalidated my excuse before I even said it.'

'Oh well, whatcha gonna do? Guess people will find out that I have an Aristocrat's Body.'

Kyle sighed.

"I have an Aristocrat's Body."

Kyle's eyes widened as he turned to Selene, who had just spoken up.

"I was the one who created the explosions," she said.

Kyle looked at Selene with worry, but Selene just calmly looked at the three people in front of her.

"You have an Aristocrat's Body?" the leader of the three people asked.

"Yes," Selene said as her female voice returned.

The other members of team Sandstorm looked with shock at Selene.

Sven's voice was a bit more feminine than usual.

A lot more feminine, actually.

The next moment, Selene's body morphed.

Her brown hair turned red, and she showed her true self.

The other three members of team Sandstorm looked with shock at her as memories shot through their minds.

The most worried person was Falk.

He remembered how he had asked Selene to accompany him to a brothel.

"I recognize you," one of the three men said. "You're Miss Selene Forthing, right?"

Selene nodded.

At the same time, the other three members of team Sandstorm realized how Sven-Selene had been so much stronger than them.

Learning techniques as a Knight?

Bullshit!

She had an Aristocrat's Body!

Of course she was stronger!

The man who had asked the question nodded. "Then, that explains the situation. Excuse me for prying into your secrets."

"I understand," Selene said.

"Then, we will be going back to our post," the leading man said with respect. "We will keep your identity secret."

"Thank you," Selene answered.

A moment later, Selene turned into Sven again, and the three men left.

The remainder of team Sandstorm looked at Selene in shock.

Their reactions were varied.

Michael looked with worry at Selene.

Unveiling her identity would tell the Forthing's enemies where she was.

Plenty of assassins would most likely soon come after her.

Falk looked with betrayal at Selene.

He had looked up to her.

He had believed that Selene was this powerful because she was working harder than anyone else.

He had believed that, as long as he was working just as hard as she, he would be able to catch up or, at least, not fall behind.

Yet, all of that was fake!

Michael and Falk also looked at Kyle, and they noticed that he didn't seem surprised. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

They realized that Kyle had already known.

However, they also knew that they couldn't fault him for keeping Selene's identity secret.

After all, she was the target of many powerful people.

For several seconds, everyone remained quiet.

"Thank you."

Falk and Michael looked with shock at Lily.

Lily, their Lily, the arrogant and angry girl…

Nevertheless, one thing was clear.

Kyle felt immense gratitude…

But he also felt immense guilt.

Some seconds of silence passed.

"We should continue," Selene said. "We still have orders."

"Yeah, right," Falk answered, his tone uncertain.

"Lily, are you willing to get back to creating golems?" Kyle asked.

Lily nodded with arrogance. "I have to. You guys are useless without me."

Soon, their mining operations continued, and during the next day, Kyle finally managed to find some time to ask Selene about his doubts.

"My identity was already partially public," she said. "Everyone already knows I exist. They just didn't know where I was."

"But you are completely unknown."

"My freedom was only temporary to begin with."

"With luck, yours might last forever."

Kyle looked with a bit of guilt at Selene.

"But why are you doing this for me?" he asked.

"Why did you risk exposing your secrets for Lily?" Selene asked back.

"I couldn't just let her die," Kyle said.

"And I couldn't just let you die," Selene answered.

Kyle could only sigh.

"I will repay you, one day."

"Until then, don't die, okay?"

Selene smiled.

"I'll do my best."
