"Let's keep leveling."
After the scolding, the tension between the brothers slowly faded. Marcus stored away the level forty Black Bone Iron Tunic and Dwarf Os's Little Hammer, then deliberately shifted the conversation as if nothing had happened. Confidence returned to his voice as he led the group deeper into Black Rock Spire.
The lecture had lasted barely three minutes, and his temporary buffs were still active. Letting that power go to waste would have been criminal. Since they were already here, they might as well push farther than before.
DragonBlade and the others exchanged surprised looks. Marcus suddenly carried himself differently, sharper and more decisive, almost aggressive. But this was exactly the energy they had hoped to see. Since he had obediently admitted fault earlier, they chose to drop the matter and followed him without complaint.
"Hundred Phantom Strike!"
Fully buffed, Marcus was terrifying.
