"I\'m Life... Nice to meet you." The red-haired woman extended her hand forward in a polite greeting. However, for some reason, it made Silas feel smaller in her presence.

"Oh, you\'re the 4th general, I believe?" Silas asked.

"3rd." She smiled back, though it didn\'t seem like it was genuine.

\'She doesn\'t like me." Silas concluded before looking at Archie for a moment and coming to a realization.

"You two dating?" Silas straightforwardly asked, not wanting to waste another second on this back-and-forth interaction.

"W-What!" The woman shouted as her face became beet-red. On the other hand, Archie simply chuckled and replied-

"No, we\'re just colleagues."

\'So it\'s a crush? What are you, children?\' Silas couldn\'t help but feel a little flabbergasted. From what he understood, Archie probably knew that she had a crush on him, but there must have been a reason why there hadn\'t been an advancement in their relationship so far.

\'Archie might simply not like her.\' Silas thought, remembering how many women he had rejected in the past due to being too busy with all his experiments.

Women were complicated. They needed time and attention... Every relationship needs both individuals to put in time with each other to make it work.

Silas simply didn\'t have time. He knew when a woman looked good. He knew what he considered attractive and what he considered unattractive. However, he always got the dopamine he needed from his work. He was practically married to his lab.

The problem was, despite how much Archie\'s intellect and behavior reminded Silas of himself, he was not the same. Archie was an architect. He was a master strategist, something Seth was as well, but was not limited to it.

In a weird way, Archie represented Silas\' chess-like mindset. Every move matters; if you lose, it was your fault and nobody else\'s.

"Really? I think you would have made a great couple." Silas smiled.

"...You really mean that?" She asked with a half-embarrassed, half-excited tone.

\'People are so dumb.\' Silas inwardly snickered.

"Of course." Silas walked past her while taking a final glance at her figure.

In Silas\' opinion, she was quite attractive. Before fangirling over Archie, she had a strong and confident aura, something people don\'t often see in young healers such as herself.

Silas was definitely a redhead kind of guy, so she ticked off many boxes for him. She had an amazing hourglass figure and porcelain white skin that shone like marble under the sunlight. 

Her green eyes went well with her fiery red hair, and her white and green modest outfit didn\'t extend higher than the wrist and heels.

Such an outfit would have definitely been considered unattractive on Earth, but Silas had to admit it did fit her well. Well, it was much better than the women exposing too much skin.

"Are you done for the day?" Archie asked with a raised brow.

"Yep. I\'ve gotten enough of a beating today. My entire body is sore and some of my muscles and organs are still healing." Silas tried to stretch, yet all he received was a horrible and excruciating jolt of agonizing pain.

"I have a thing in an hour or two, so I\'ll be leaving aswell." Death sighed.

"Actually, I want to speak to Silas..." She looked at the two of them before continuing...

"Alone."

They both looked at each other before shrugging and walking in another direction. Life turned around and walked toward Silas, before taking a stroll back to the city alongside him.

"Why do you know my real name? Is Archie just going around telling everyone?" Silas asked with an annoyed tone.

"Not really." She put her hands behind her back before looking up at the canopy of the small forest.

"All the generals know who you are. Except War, of course. She\'s still in the demon continent."

"I thought humans hated demons." Silas tilted his head.

"They do. But not all humans are the same, and not everyone listens to the kingdom and believes every word they spout." She replied.

"Why is she there then?" Silas questioned.

"To slay an emerald-core dragon. Apparently, there was a sighting of one recently, and we don\'t want the demons to get the kill since an emerald core is pretty rare. It could do a lot of damage in the wrong hands."

"..."

"What?"

"Emerald core? Really? The commander couldn\'t even kill a dull-sapphire core if he wanted to." Silas retorted.

"No one said the commander was the strongest in the organization. He\'s actually only the third or fourth strongest. Well, he was until you killed him." She gave Silas a side-long glance.

"You know about that?" Silas awkwardly chuckled.

"Of course I do. Archie told us everything that happened. 

None of us really care since that guy was an asshole and an egomaniac, so the only people who might have anything against you because of it is the Judgement faction. 

Of course, we didn\'t tell them about you killing the commander, but if you do become the next judgment, the knowledge of you killing the commander will most likely be used to rile the faction against you." She explained in a lecturing, almost motherly tone.

\'I keep forgetting I\'m a child to these people.\' Silas wanted to roll his eyes, but he quickly stopped himself.

"They\'re all weaker than me, right? I can take them on." Silas shrugged.

"Oh please, if the commander had used his trump card a little earlier, it wouldn\'t have been just half of Uladia being destroyed. Archie told me how the battle went. 

You pummeled him in an area where he couldn\'t use his strength, you angered him into finally using his full strength, and in the moment of vulnerability between his first attack and charging the next, you killed him with all your strength.

You\'re not stronger than the commander. I\'ve seen him kill three Sapphire beasts alone in less than 5 minutes. You\'re just smarter than he ever was. And that is the very thing that makes you so deadly in the eyes of the rest of the generals. You might not be stronger than us, but if you\'re anything like Archie...

You\'ll be a bigger danger than Archie can even dream of."
