Edward clenched his fists tightly as he didn't find Riko there either. "Next place."Again they drove the car to the next place. They did not give up at all on finding Riko's whereabouts."Shit! Where the hell is she?!" groaned Edward as they drove around but couldn't find Riko.What on earth was going on? For some reason Edward felt as if Riko had simply disappeared."That's impossible," Edward muttered quietly as he dismissed his thoughts. Riko could not have just disappeared because he had previously observed her in his apartment.He did not know when Riko had left her apartment and passed his observation. Edward was certain that Riko should have been inside her apartment."What should we do now?" Valerie asked Edward.They had spent almost two hours looking for Riko. They searched almost all the places where Riko had been or often visited.But still what they got made no difference at all in each place.Edward stopped his car on the side of the road in annoyance. If this continued

Riko fainted, making it easy for Edward to take her without any resistance. All the way from the apartment to the forest, Riko was unconscious."It's good that you're unconscious, so I can take you so easily," Edward muttered as he led Riko to a cave located quite far from the apartment where Riko lived.Edward drove his car. He felt that luck was on his side. King Morwen was not around when he had knocked Riko unconscious. The universe seemed to be in Edward's favor, because until he managed to get Riko to the car, no one saw him.The sky was dark, covered with thick branches of leaves. Edward also had to be careful in driving the car so as not to slip into the ravine. In a little while he reached the cave he was aiming for. Edward aimed to finish off Riko there. If poison could not be used, then Edward still killed Riko using his own power.Edward arrived in front of the cave. He opened the passenger side door. Using his arms that were as strong as steel, Edward was able to carry Ri

"Edward is gone. He doesn't care about you. He even had the heart to let you die." Riko said sarcastically. "So, now you know who is the villain among us."Valerie looked at Riko sarcastically. "I don't care about your nonsense. It won't change that you are a murderer.""I'm not a murderer, Valerie. How many times do I have to explain it to you? You just misunderstood." Riko said firmly.Valerie chuckled wickedly. "You can say that because it wasn't your father who died!"Riko was silent, unable to argue with Valerie's words. She immediately thought of King Draco, her biological father."If only you had died when that mythological creature killed your parents, my father would not have died just for protecting you!" Valerie shouted loudly in disappointment. Her tears were instantly shed.Riko was speechless, at a loss for words to justify herself in front of Valerie. The beautiful girl's words hurt her deeply. However, on the other hand, she felt guilty for involving Captain Calvin to

King Morwen's reluctance to answer Riko about the power of the God's Cube made her determined to find out for herself. Riko had promised herself that she would find out how to resurrect the dead.Riko repeatedly nodded, assuring herself she would not give up until she got the information about the power she sought to make Valerie forgive her."At any cost, I will find the power of God's Cube to take Valerie's heart." Riko was confident that she could find it without King Morwen's help.From today on, Riko would search for it on her own. She was determined, for Valerie's sake. The sooner she learned about God's Cube's power, the better.Riko had already disguised herself so as not to be recognized by people who might identify her later during the journey to find the power of God's Cube. She was afraid that those people would tell her uncle."Who can I ask?" Riko was confused. He looked around in all directions. Looking for someone who might know about the power.In his confusion, Riko

"But-""Enough, Riko! I don't want to hear you say that again!" King Morwen said firmly."Why are you so selfish, Dad?! You don't know what living without a father is like!" Riko was provoked to anger.King Morwen was silent for a moment. He sensed the hurt in the tone of Riko's voice.King Morwen looked away, unable to bear the sight of Riko's wounded gaze. "Never mind! I'm too lazy to argue with you! I'll hate you for the rest of my life if you dare to do that!"King Morwen walked out of Riko's room."Dad, wait! I'm not done talking to you yet!" Riko quickly chased after King Morwen before he disappeared without a trace. Riko couldn't afford to lose track of King Morwen, because King Pyloruf always disappeared when they were arguing, and Riko always failed to find him.King Morwen quickened his pace to avoid Riko. He was upset and disappointed that his nephew never thought about the suffering of Pyloruf's people. Even though he had fought desperately to save her in various ways, ev
