Chapter 15: 80 Favorability Points!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“In other words, you made this decision for the sake of our residents and to reduce the firefighter’s burden?” Aurora immediately asked.
Bruce nodded. “You’re not wrong to interpret it that way.”
Because Bruce was unable to give the actual reason, the current interview could only be left to their imagination.
Bruce had told a portion that is partially close the truth, he did not say it carelessly. It was Aurora who had distorted this matter. He could not blame himself!
“He’s so brave. I can’t believe that Mr. Bruce is such a brave person. I’m really sorry for my previous assumptions.” as she said that, she bowed slightly.
That was the truth. He had always thought that Bruce didn’t leave the house because he lost hope in life and wanted to commit suicide.
Now it seemed that she was completely wrong!
How could such a positive and bright person want to die just because he had lost hope in life?
When she thought of this, Aurora’s view of Bruce had completely changed. She even had a little admiration for Bruce.
At this moment, Bruce saw Aurora’s favorability points increased by 5 instantly. Moreover, with the Eye of Truth, it surprisingly reached 80 points.
‘Judging based on this, Aurora is someone with a strong sense of justice. If it was in Aurora’s home at that time…
She might have really done such a thing.’
Following that, Aurora asked, “Then what kind of mood made you choose to save the firefighter in the fire? Generally speaking, in such a situation, you can just choose to self-destruct. There’s no need to take such a risk.”
Hearing this question, Bruce was stunned.
‘The reason.’
“It was because he wanted to save me. I made this decision after knowing the situation at that time. I can save them, but I won’t bring trouble to the firemen. I only dared to do such a thing because I had full confidence.” ‘It was very simple,’ this was Bruce’s actual thought.
Moreover, his Icy Flurry skill could indeed do things that the firemen could not. It was another level of convenience. It was not something worth mentioning.
“Mr. Bruce’s simple description of the situation at that time made me very impressed. What I heard was completely different from this situation, and I also understood the situation very well.”
“At that time, it was because the fire hydrant had been destroyed by someone so it could not be used. Then, Charles was trapped in the fire. It was you who used a magic-like whirlwind with ice to save him. Is that so?”
Aurora, the community workers, and Ron were all eagerly waiting for Bruce’s response.
After all, this was way beyond reality. Such a topic would attract their attention.
Bruce did not remain silent and immediately replied, “Actually, they saw it wrongly. But the fire environment was so big. I just found a pathway to go in and save them. It’s really not as exaggerated as you think.”
Aurora did not say anything, but Ron — at the side — smiled and said, “I knew it, I was wondering how this could happen. Magic? So it’s because the firefighters were too hot, so they saw an illusion.”
Hearing this, Aurora immediately turned around and said, “YOU!”
Before she could finish her words, Ron’s pupils instantly contracted. He saw a vortex with ice crystals spewing out of Bruce’s palm!
With a strong whirlwind, it turned into an air cannon and crashed onto him.
“Ugh!” Unable to make any sound or react, Ron flew out and crashed into the wall hard.
BOOM!
There was a loud sound on the ground. Ron almost lost consciousness due to the pain.
The next second, he looked at Bruce with horror.
‘THIS IS!’
‘MAGIC!’
‘This is REAL magic!’
“I hate people like you the most. Do you think I’m very close to you?” Bruce said faintly. “This is a small punishment for you. One more time and I’ll kill you. After the interview, get out of my sight immediately.”
Bruce was not joking.
Such a person needed some punishment, and he did not use his full strength. Now the Icy Flurry skill had been upgraded, so its power and form were according to Bruce’s control.
The attack just now was only a quarter of his power. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just hitting the wall.
Ron now knew that he got into trouble. He also believed that Bruce wasn’t lying. The next time he dared to talk nonsense, it would be the death of him.
So he was very frightful and regretful. Why did he have to provoke such a peerless master?
Only a mage and a fighter could cast the wind in such a form. In Ron’s opinion, Bruce was obviously involved in both professions, so he could use such a skill.
“Master Bruce, I apologize for what I did before. Please forgive me,” Ron said while enduring the pain.
Bruce didn’t say anything.
Aurora reacted immediately and quickly continued the interview.
In the remaining time, the two of them took turns asking and answering each other.
Then Aurora gave him a paragraph to read out. It was nothing more than some publicity about the fire.
Then the interview was over.
Everyone began to pack up their equipment.
Ron didn’t say much. He was now watchful of his every move, for fear of upsetting Bruce.
He was also very obedient and used the things that Bruce had asked them to buy.
Bruce paid off all the money and began to fiddle with his own things.
At this moment, Bruce raised his eyebrows.
Based on the principle of using the Eye of Truth without wasting people, he used the Eye of Truth on everyone.
The number was not important at all. The main reason was that it was rare for so many people to come.
If he wanted to level up, he could only use this method.
The strange thing was, Aurora had 80 favorability points a moment ago, why was it 95 now?
Bruce had no idea which part had attracted him to her. How could he have increased his favorability by 15 points all of a sudden?
This was even faster than his Eye of Truth.
This indeed surprised Bruce. When he looked at Aurora, his expression was full of lust, which made Bruce feel a little helpless.
‘It really wasn’t that bad. What do you like about me? Can’t I change it?!’
‘Like Me?!’
‘It wouldn’t work out, okay?’
But if she wanted to come to him voluntarily, it’s not like he could not accept the invitation.
While Bruce was still thinking about it.
Knock, Knock.
There was a knock on the door again!
