"But Rory, you don't need to worry."
Fearing that Rory might worry about those guys harming her, Wen reassured her, "Your arrival here was guided by the Beast God. He has been secretly protecting you all along."
"Even if Lias and the others want to bond with you, they still need your explicit consent. With the Beast God watching over things, they wouldn't dare resort to forced methods against you."
Rory didn't exactly feel at ease just from Wen's comfort. Having heard his description of the Beast God earlier, she felt the deity wasn't particularly reliable. Trusting the Beast God was about as wise as trusting a bridge salesman. She needed to brainstorm a solid way to eliminate this potential hazard.
Just as Rory finished listening to Wen's explanation about Lias and the others, Xarion finished his bath and stepped out of the lounge's bathroom.
