Chapter 78 The Regretful Alpha Viii-i

• "Remember, Alpha! Do not let you and your past self know each other. If that happens, the balance of time and space will be upset. Only one Alpha will survive."
• Rowena's voice echoed in Usher's mind. The warning only added to his panic. The safety of little Vione and Usher was at stake, but he couldn't just show up and reveal himself. He couldn't allow himself to be known for who he really was at that moment. So he racked his brain, desperately searching for something to hide his identity as little Vione and Usher became increasingly vulnerable in the lake.
• Usher's panic was momentarily halted by a realization. At that moment, he was still a child, just an eight-year-old boy. Wouldn't it be all right if they met? Little Usher certainly wouldn't recognize his future self.
