Her posture was slightly slouched, her movements slower than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from a distance, she didn’t look well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her complexion was pale, her expression drawn, and there was a heaviness about her that immediately set him on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the distance in a few long strides and stopped at her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, are you okay? What happened to you? How can you be like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel paused mid-bite, spoon hovering just above the bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him, surprised by his sudden arrival and the intensity in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, she said nothing, as if weighing whether to respond or let him continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel didn’t give her the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned sharply, his gaze snapping toward Garion. His expression hardened, jaw tight, eyes burning with accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what the hell have you done to my sister, Garion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward Rachel, frustration spilling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can she be this sick? Damn it, Garion! What did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel exhaled, long and tired, setting the spoon back into the bowl. The noise was small, but it cut through Raviel’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just shut up for a minute, Raviel,\" she said, her voice firm despite the fatigue behind it. \"Didn’t they already tell you that I’m pregnant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel froze, the words sinking in slower than his anger had risen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression shifted, confusion pushing against the remnants of his outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Rachel, really looking this time, noticing details he had missed in his rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a breath, steadier now, though still tense. \"So... do you need anything? Just tell me what you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel sighed, the sound low and tired, but not irritated. She didn’t look up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she kept her attention on the bowl in front of her, scooping another spoonful of porridge before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, I don’t need anything. Garion has already taken care of it.\" She paused briefly, then added, \"Just go back and continue training others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took another bite, slower this time, as if trying to settle herself. \"Let me eat in peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side, Garion nodded once, arms loosely crossed. \"She just finished vomiting earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel turned toward him at once, the brief calm unraveling. His brows drew together again, frustration rising back to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you still let her come here in this state? Are you out of your mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel set the spoon down again, more firmly this time. The soft clink was enough to cut through his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Raviel and raised her hand, not forceful, but enough to stop him. \"Just stop and go back, Raviel. You’re too loud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no anger in her tone, but there was enough weight to it that he hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raviel frowned, clearly unwilling to let it go, his mouth parting as if to argue again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rachel’s expression didn’t change. If anything, it hardened just enough to make her point clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled through his nose, the tension in him loosening in reluctant increments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight drained out of his posture, leaving behind a quiet frustration he didn’t voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned and walked away, his pace slower than before, the urgency gone but not the concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the restaurant, Dahlia and the others had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t go in right away. Instead, they lingered near the entrance, close enough to watch what was happening inside without being noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, they moved in unison to the side, slipping out of sight just as Elder Raviel stormed out of the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His steps were sharp and quick, his expression tight, and he didn’t spare a glance at anyone as he passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara blinked and pointed after him. \"Did you all see that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor nodded, a grin tugging at his lips. \"Yeah. Still, I didn’t expect him to walk out like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar tilted his head slightly, watching the direction Raviel had gone. \"It’s unusual for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor gave a small nod. \"Very unusual. He used to be a respected patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia crossed her arms, her gaze steady. \"Of course he was. And the one who shut him down was his own sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell quiet for a beat, letting that settle. Inside, the tension hadn’t faded; it had only shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a voice cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you had enough of the show?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stood just inside the doorway, her eyes fixed on them. She had clearly noticed their presence long before they realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara and the others let out short, awkward chuckles, the kind that faded almost as soon as they began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel didn’t return the reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze moved across each of them, slow and deliberate, making sure they felt it. \"If you’re done watching, then go. Train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no room for argument in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor was the first to straighten, the hint of amusement gone from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynar shifted his weight, then gave a small nod as if confirming something to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rynor exhaled quietly, his earlier curiosity replaced with focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t move right away, but her eyes flicked once toward the restaurant interior before she turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara rubbed the back of her neck, then forced a more composed expression. \"Yes, Elder Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others echoed her, their voices aligning, more steady this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel watched them for another moment, as if measuring whether they would actually follow through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without another word, she stepped back inside. The door closed behind her with a soft, final sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke as they began to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise from the restaurant faded with each step, replaced by the quieter rhythm of their own movement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","12e2a5ca13bab57bbb9df0717781004e0566af8272fa0e97f463ec157c9ead9c","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-509","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-507",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
