Chapter 339 What Got You Selected?
In the dimly lit room, Zach sat quietly in the corner.
At first glance, he appeared to be asleep, his thick lashes casting soft shadows over his closed eyes.
But the faint quiver of his lashes gave him away-he wasn't sleeping peacefully.
His arms and legs were riddled with bloody bite marks from venomous snakes, yet his skin showed no signs of
poisoning.
What truly caught Lola off guard wasn't his immunity to the venom, but the two lifeless snakes lying in front of
him.
From their condition, it was clear that they were dead.
These weren't just any snakes. She had personally captured them not long ago, and even she had struggled to
subdue them.

She didn't expect Zach to have managed to kill them with nothing but his bare hands.
Her initial shock flickered and disappeared, replaced by a cold, steely gaze.
The two snakes she had painstakingly captured had a purpose. Now that they were dead, it ruined her plans.
At that moment, Zach's eyelashes quivered slightly before he slowly opened his eyes.
As sunlight poured in through the doorway, he felt a gentle warmth spread through him.
Standing in the doorway, Lola seemed to glow with an almost ethereal light. A pure, untainted smile lit up Zach's
small face.
"Instructor Lola," he called softly.
Even though this place scared him, he never once thought of running away.
Not only that, but he had managed to defeat the two snakes here.
‘Does this mean | passed the first test she gave me? Will she finally praise me?' Zach thought.
Lola's indifferent gaze lingered on Zach's hopeful little face, and for a moment, her heart softened.
But when her eyes fell on the lifeless snakes in front of him, her expression turned icy again.
She shot a disgusted look at the grimy storage room before her cold gaze landed on Zach. Her tone was distant
as she said, "Cout first."
Zach quickly nodded, his voice soft and obedient. "Alright."
Using his injured hands for support, he slowly pushed himself off the ground.
The movement tugged at the wounds on his arms and legs, and he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
The sharp pain made his eyes sting with tears.
Still, he clenched his small fists tightly, refusing to cry out. With quick steps, he hurried over to Lola on his
injured legs.
Lola stood above Zach, her gaze sharp and unrelenting. She grabbed his small hand and lifted his arm without
hesitation.
Her eyes lingered on the deep wound, the bone faintly visible beneath the crimson blood that seeped out. A
flicker of curiosity crossed her otherwise cold expression as she studied him.
"Did you take skind of antidote?" she asked.
Zach shook his head firmly. “No, | didn't take anything."
He knew the real reason the snake venom hadn't affected him. His Devourer Starcard had absorbed the toxins
from his body.
But he also remembered Shawn's warning on the plane-never reveal the existence of his Devourer Starcard to
anyone.
Even though he knew what Lola's suspicion was, he didn't say anything.
Lola's frown deepened, her gaze turning colder. "I'm your instructor. You should not lie to me."
As she spoke, her grip on his arm suddenly tightened, the pressure increasing sharply.
"Oh!" Zach couldn't suppress a muffled groan as the pain shot through him, his arm feeling like it might shatter
under her grip.
The force caused more blood to gush from the wound.
But Zach knew that crying out or pleading wouldn't change anything

He shook his head hard. "I swear, | didn't take anything he said, his voice tumbling despite his best efforts to
sound steady.
Lola observed his expression, which didn't seem to be lying, and the strength in her hand loosened slightly.
Her gaze swept over him from head to toe, as if searching for answers. "What ability got you chosen to be here?"
