Michelle Burris raises one of her eyebrows slightly, and then opens the car door, intending to leave the place even though she has not been waiting for 10 minutes. “Let's see how much they want it,” she says before ordering her men to take her back to Eimton. That car starts. There Dastan realizes that the woman is going to take her leave. He rushes to them while taking a brief look at his watch, noticing that it hasn’t even been 5 minutes since Dean left him. “Hey, wait!” But the car really leaves that place, hence Dastan fastens his steps after them. “Heeeey! We’ve made a deal!” His shouting attracts the attention of several people around him. Most of them are the people who took part in the auction, and they recognize him. They openly laugh at him with their silly faces as they walk away from that place. Dastan looks so annoyed. As he notices Dean coming toward him by carrying a bag, he immediately rushes back toward the truck. “Hey, what happened?” asks Dean as he fastens h

Dean looks confused, seeming so hard to believe it. The remnants of the war which ended 20 years ago are still there like it has never been touched.It's as if this country has never once tried to restore it. In fact, he believes that this place is so good and lush to support life.“Don’t they want to rebuild this city?” asks Dean.“It’s not that they don’t want it,” says Dastan. “They can’t!”Dean can even imagine how beautiful the city was in the past, with gardens on the sides of the roads, as well as green parks alternating between each housing block. Everything looks arranged with a great plan.However, most buildings are destroyed, covered by plants with various kinds of colorful flowers and leaves. He even finds several Manes hovering around in some green area.Dean sees a hill with giant rocks sticking out, quite green, covered with lots of trees. There are densely populated housing complexes arranged ascending height on the slope of the hill, in a roughly circular pattern up

That woman named Marvini doesn’t say a word. She can’t make a decision in this situation, as she sees Dastan begin knocking down her friends one by one, while Dean is easily toying with the rest.Not a sword, not staff or club, not even their full automatic rifle can do anything. Annoyed and impatient, Marvini gets down from the big rock while putting one arrow in her bow gun.“Hey! Move!” she warns.All her friends who are currently fighting Dean avert their attention, and realize that Marvini has channeled an abundant mana in her bowgun.“What the?”“Do you want to kill us?”Blue mana mixed with white aura of spirit energy gushes out so wild before the arrow leaves the bow gun.“Oh, she can also use spirit energy, huh?” mutters Dean, showing a little amazement.But Marvini’s friends are looking so scared at the moment. They know how dangerous this one move is. So, they simply jump away like trying to avoid a rocket.Zfff!!!The arrow flies so fast while spinning like a corkscrew, en

Noticing someone’s coming from behind, Dastan stops talking and turns back. It's Dean, who is already quite anxious about his kid's condition at home.“Dastan! Is there anything else you want to do here?” asks Dean.Quite understanding the situation, Dastan simply pats Dias’ back once before taking his leave.“Sorry! I have to leave now!”“Wa, why? Stay the night here,” Dias offers. “I've told the others to prepare a banquet for you.”“No! We came here looking for Azutime gemstone for a reason,” says Dastan as he keeps walking away, and invites Dean to leave.“For a reason? Did something happen?” asks Dias as he rushes to them with anxiety.“It’s my son,” says Dean. “He keeps getting a fever every time he gets uncomfortable by something.”“Hold on! What?” Dias looks confused.He is well aware regarding the unique condition of the pureblood babies from the main family of the Miarnin tribe.And the fact Dean going all the way from Echaydor looking for Azutime gemstone has confirmed his

“I just want to say that he is not a mere criminal, Sir!” Capt. Bradley argues. “He used to be an A-rank officer in the Guardians of Estuaria. I doubt, with the number of troops we have here, it will be enough to capture him.”Hearing the captain overrating the abilities of a former officer from the Guardians of Estuaria makes Morales furious.“Bradleeeeeeey!!!! We have more than 200 soldiers here, and you think this is not enough to capture just one former A-rank Guardian? Are you trying to put an insult on our army in front of those Guardians of Estuaria? If they were here and listened to your words, you would only make us their laughing stock.”“But, Sir! I believe this facility isn’t prepared for that purpose,” argues Bradley. “Are you going to sacrifice all of our men only for one criminal?”“Of course!” replies Morales. “I know how dangerous that man is. You won’t be able to capture him without risking your life. If you mind sacrificing your life for the flag you have on that un
