"What .. what happened next? Please continue the story."

Rowan was almost crying. He listened to the story and felt moved. When Rowan thought about his father and felt Amora was a lady just like him.

They both got their families taken away by enemies, and they have no idea if they are still alive or not. He felt it was fate that the system opened the mirror.

He was eager to know what happened later, but the soldiers stopped talking. He asked them a lot, but they said they were almost to reach the capital. He could only give up.

After a long journey, the cart finally slowed down. Rowan looked outside through the window. He could see a magnificent city.

He had visited multiple planets with advanced technology and mega cities, but it was his first time seeing a city built with trees. Trees were everywhere. The city walls were all covered with trees and strange plants.

Rowan even saw some plants as pets and was walking with people. Some trees make strange noises, while other trees someti

    As they went inside, they saw a huge hall. There were a lot of seats on both the right and left sides. Most of the members who sat there were women. Those people looked at the refugees with kind smiles. None of the people has ever witnessed something like this.In short words, it was a rare kind of welcoming party. No one ever heard of a country's top official throwing a party for refugees. How does it make sense? It didn't make any sense to Ali. He knows how those greedy politicians work; even if the higher-ups order, they won't be this polite. There must be a reason behind it.As they walked further, they saw many paintings on the wall. There were mainly fights between the demons and fairies. Strangely, the fairies always have some trees fighting on their side.Finally, they arrived in front of a throne. The hall became silent. A beautiful woman slowly walked to the throne and sat there. All the people kneeled and started to praise the queen.Rowan and his group followed the crowd a

    "Queen, please don't make any moves, or she will be in danger. Please calm down and give us a chance to explain."Ali placed his hands on Angela's neck and threatened the queen. Alex moved forwards and disarmed the soldiers. Ali and Alex acted like it was something they often do.Rowan watched them with nervousness. He was scared they would blame them for his mistake."I'm sorry, really sorry. I just wanted to..." Before Rowan could finish, Alex dragged him and placed him near Jasmin."Rowan, look, we are a team. If one of us makes a mistake, we will fix it together. There is no time for blaming each other. When we have a problem, we solve it. That's why we are a team and friends. Friends stay together. Got it? "Then Alex pointed at Ali. "Now, look at Ali. Did he ask any questions? No, he went to grab a hostage, which gave us some time. Now we have a card to play. That's what we should do.When we face a problem, we first have to calm down. In this situation, we are at a disadvantage

    It was a lovely day. We were all busy getting ready. My father assisted me with the knots as my mother and sister argued about which clothing to wear. My mother chooses to dress her favourite ones. It had a blue and white colour scheme. She also forced my sister to wear the newest one.I was the luckiest since I was unlike my sister. I enjoy wearing my favourite outfit. My father picked his most costly outfit as well. It was unusual because I'd never seen him in the dress before. Even when he had an important meeting with VVIPs, he never wore them. I gave him a strange look. He smiled, then patted my hair and kissed me on the forehead. Before he left, he whispered something in my ear.It was the happiest moment of my life because I was going to have a baby brother. I was so excited that I was about to jump with joy, but my father quickly gave me a gesture to stay silent. He used his lip movements to tell me it was a secret, and my sister still doesn't know.It was time to visit my mat

    When Rowan had finished telling his story, he was already crying.Queen Amora approached Rowan and hugged him tightly. When Alex noticed this, he took a deep breath. It appears that the issues have been resolved. At the very least, the queen is no longer enraged.Amora replied as she massaged Rowan's hair."You don't need to be concerned. My system informed me that Jasmin had an unusual aptitude for drawing life force. According to my understanding, either your mother or Jasmin was ill. Your physique is entirely different from the other fairies I've seen. It was like a beast attempting to awaken from its slumber. However, it was still hungry. It will continue to consume your energy unless you provide it with new vitality. ""Are you saying my sister isn't sick but that something has taken up residence in her body? How is this even possible? Even if we feed it, what happens after it's awake? Please, you must help my sister. I'm willing to go to any length to save my sister's life. "Ro

    "John, what do we do? The enemies had already searched nearly every area. If this continues, we can't go out to find food. We only have two more days' worth of food.Alex left like that. What if he faced some problems and couldn't make it on time? Although the illusion placed by Alex protects us, we can't live without food. Some of the tribe members have already started to get violent. "A tribe leader expressed his concern to John.When John heard about the violence, he became angry. When Alex was here, they didn't even make a noise. Now that he has left for a few days, they have already started to cause trouble."Don't worry, Alex is not someone who leaves us on a hanging cliff. He already foresaw this coming. He left us a year's supply of food in a specific location. The only person that has access to it is me. Also, there is no need to worry about food expiring. Alex has a solution for it. So don't worry. Alex already taught me how to tame violent men. Just see how I'm going to te

    "We were about to reach there. Can't you tell what the mission is? "Ali posed the query. Despite being dispatched on a mission, the queen did not provide the specifics.Angela was irritated. It wasn't the first time Ali had irritated her. Her horror began when she lost the bet with him. He was definitely learning to hunt from Alex, but how did he beat her? It remains a mystery to her.What she doesn't realise is that it was a plot by Alex and Ali. Ali was aware of her disappointment after losing to him in the palace. So they pulled that ruse. He had lived through years of war, so how could he not be familiar with hunting?"All right, I'll tell you about the mission. In a demon city, there are some fairies. We must save them and bring them to the kingdom. "It's quite straightforward, isn't it?"With her careless attitude, Ali wondered how she became a knight. Still, he kept asking questions."How large is that city, and what are its military capabilities?"Angela glanced at him as if

    "My father used to take me hunting as a youngster. Those were some of my favourite recollections with my father. He was a bold man who went hunting for the village on a regular basis."Ali took the glass, drank a sip of tea, and proceeded."When I went hunting one day, I got lost in the woods and encountered Angela. She and her family looked after me and fed me farm meals. They even dispatched someone to locate my relatives. I was able to return home because of them. "Ali grabbed Angela and patted her hand. On the surface, he appeared to be a caring husband who conveyed his affections for his wife.Angela wished to be free from Ali's grip, but she persevered and smiled.Why is this horrible man behaving so amiable and charming all of a sudden? He even patted her hands on the back. She is baffled by how he was able to transform into someone so different.Ali sipped more tea and continued his story."It was love at first sight for both of us. I never believed in things like love at fir

    Everything moved too quickly. Nobody anticipated the Gama family to discover one of the Chain's military bases, let alone start a war.Planet Green launched an effective strike. Because the Chain lacked many weapons and elite men, the Gama swiftly took control.The Gama came, killed every single one of Chain's warriors, and even captured the rumoured famous Mx X, as was seen by viewers watching live streaming.Nobody anticipated the Gama to be so brutal. They killed everyone except Mr X. They sent him to a random planet, and the Gama family made his whereabouts public.It said that Mr X is already the target of bounty hunters.

It's Miya from G-news. Today we have a guest from the Gama family, Johnson. "The reporter from G-news was a famous person. Her cute face and voice helped her to gain a lot of fans."It's Miya. She is with the Gama family now. I'm sure there is really something important there. "People in the pub started talking."Hello everyone, I'm Johnson from the Gama family. Thank you for having me. "Johnson introduced himself."Mr Johnson, We all know how your family and the Chain are now in conflict, and it's getting worse. Since the Gama chose to be silent, we all thought the Chain gained some upper hand or is your family forced to make a statement?"She didn't hold back and asked the question that hurt the Gama most.Johnson became a bit displeased

    Mr X remained silent for a long time. His cigarette burnt slowly to ash."White Mask, what are your thoughts about the Mercks arriving here?"White Mask was taken aback. He needed a few minutes to recover from his astonishment."How is that possible, sir? Even if any of them did come here, how could they avoid our notice?"Mr X lighted a new cigarette and began smoking."I deduced that Ali or Rowan were not locals based on the details. They had to have appeared lately, or otherwise, the slaves would have recognised them. And based on the current attack pace, I'm convinced they'd just arrived."Mr X inhaled deeply and proceeded."It appeared to be some Mercks managed to come here. If our intelligence were right, Mark had a son named Little Mark, but what most people don't know is his real name is Rowan. From what I can see, it must be Mark's son."The white mask was at a loss and didn't know what to say."But even if it's Mark's son, what use do we have?"From Mr X's excited expression

    "The Mercks are alive?" Mr X couldn't believe it. He started to replay the video again and again.The white-masked man became worried. He never saw Mr X act in this manner."Sir, there is no evidence at all. It's just random talk. Please don't take it in mind. We saw how the planet Merck was blown. There was no one there. Everything turned to ash. We saw it with our own eyes. It's just some random guy's assumptions. "The white-masked man anxiously waited for Mr X to speak.Mr X finally stopped his activities."White mask. We have a few prisoners, right? Through torture, hypnosis, drugs, or whatever methods you use, find out everything they know about Alex, John, Ali, and Rowan. I want it done immediately. "The white mask finally got the spirit back. Mr X became serious, which means they were going to start the battle."Also, send me every detail about the last attacks. I want to analyse everything. "With that, they entered a drone and left.

    " This again? How did it happen? There is not even a body left. They told me this planet was a simple barbarian planet, and the mission would be easy. Now, look. Our members are dying without even knowing how. This place must be cursed. I hope I can leave this place soon. "A soldier told his companion. But his companion was shaking, and his face almost lost colour. He was terrified.Before the soldier could know why his friend was so scared, he heard a voice."A cursed place? Hmm. That's a reasonable point. If people started to disappear without any trace, there must be something similar to a curse. White mask, note it down. It may come in handy.""Noted, sir," the white-masked man replied, and they both went inside the camp."Hey, who is that black-masked man, and why is he acting mysterious and weirdly?"The soldier asked his friend."Shh. Lower your voice. It's the legendary Mr X. ""What did he do? Why is he famous? ""Don't tell me you've never heard of the Merck family. Ah, Ah

I took notice of your contribution. You are free to relax. " John nodded and went away.The village was entirely transformed. If Alex returned suddenly, he would believe he had entered another world. There have been several revisions.People were initially lazy, but as they ran out of food, they were compelled to follow John's new lifestyle. They gradually began to appreciate their new way of life as well.The nicest part was the construction. John researched several prototypes and picked one that could be manufactured quickly while being robust. He picked something appropriate for them. It was planned to construct ten-story structures. He enjoyed the concept of people living in close quarters. So he built prototypes and began contracting modest structures.Some were assigned with improving roads

    Everyone stared at Ali with shock. How is he still joking around? But Ali continued to act as if nothing significant had occurred."What's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me as if I were a ghost? Our village is close to the country of the fairies, and we've heard from passing demons. Is there nothing else to say? What? Do you believe we're fairies? Look at our appearance before passing judgement."They became convinced after seeing Ali's appearance. By look, he is obviously a demon. He is not a fairy in any manner.What Ali and his pals didn't realise was that they were viewed as riches rather than foes."Please accept my sincere apologies. It's simply that my staff are particularly sensitive to the subject today. "Carlo swiftly shifted the subject.Ali also became more at ease.Finally, Angela took a breath. She was too concerned. If their mission fails due to her actions, she will not be able to forgive herself. She gave Ali a grateful glance.Ali gave her a grin and pa

    "I'm not great at physical labour, but I'm fantastic in math and accounting." For example, I counted over a hundred carts here, with the majority of them carrying at least five people. All of those carts were drawn by horses. You also have some other animals, such as those utilised in agriculture. "Ali stopped for a second and acted like he was calculating something. He then acted like he was finally done calculating and continued his conversation."If my calculations are correct, you have a hundred carts with at least five men in them. Adding the other animals, it's five hundred men and two hundred and ten horses. Two hundred horses mean it requests at least fifty gold coins to manage them on a daily basis. If we reduce the food cost since we are travelling through the jungle, it still costs ten gold coins a day."Ali suddenly stopped, gave a meaningful gaze to Carlo, and continued."Those men seemed to be combat-trained. You need at least 500 gold coins every day to transport 500 s
