“He’s awake!”
Gloin flinches, and he looks back at Arwin as he hesitates to call her, but she's already gone. Gloin sighs, but then they head back to their place. Simon stands over there with a series of medical apparatus.
He finishes up placing dextrose on Mark and says, "He's going to be okay now. He's just been dehydrated for days, and he needed to get those nutrients in his body, so I injected some dextrose."
Mark groans but continues to rest.
John asks, “Will he wake up? He opened his eyes earlier, right?”
“Yes. He will be fine.”
"Arwin…" Mark mutters in his sleep, and that name makes Simon flinch. Simon looks back at Mark, and he wants to ask more about the name, but Gloin easily maneuvers the conversation as he says, "Simon, I heard you're the merchant tasked to judge our works. I would like to show you mine."

He immediately checks the belongings scattered all over the place, and there is still no sign of Rosa. Timothy thought to himself that he must have been out for at least a day. Cain already erased the trail.So instead of going after Rosa, which is something the old Timothy would do and is what Rosa is aiming for... Timothy sighs and proceeds to the city. Timothy knows he can't waste any more time than he already did.Timothy, still feeling weak, continues to walk towards the way to the city. As he arrives, he tries to hide his appearance and asks around Taflen, but no one understood what he is saying until an elder speaks to him, "You seem lost. What are you doing here?"“You can understand my language?”The elder nods, "Just a few days ago, a girl arrives here as well, speaking your tongue. So… what have you come here for?"“I’m looking for a friend. His name’s Taflen.”The elder flinches but then

Timothy gives a light nod and continues speaking to avoid suspicions on Pi’s end, “So I believe you have the prisoner that would tell me where Taflen is currently at, am I right?”Sinas smirks and writes down next, “Well, I can do you a favor or two. If I say anything now, whoever’s listening would hunt Rosa down knowing that Taflen’s with her.”Timothy asks, still relating to the previous topic, “So what do you want in return?”"Just little gold coins would do." Sinas speaks and writes the real answer down the board: "I need your help to locate Taflen. After Mark, you're the best tracker I've ever worked with."“Granted.” Timothy throws off some gold coins to the floor to fool Pi’s end that that was really the deal the two had made. He is gritting his teeth as he walks towards Sinas’ and continues, “After this, our transaction is done.”Sinas simply smiles, k

Meanwhile, Rosa and Taflen walk their way to the builder's village. Taflen informs Rosa, "In here, the builders rarely speak. They are either mute or got their tongues cut off, so it's better to stay silent."Rosa nods.The commotion rises in the middle of the town, where everyone starts to gather. Taking notice of it, Rosa asks, "What's going on there?""It's probably the convention. The first round already began, which means Arwin will be there too." Taflen replies confidently as he snickers, "I'm guessing Arwin's the only one who passed the round. People have been trying to copy her design after all these years all, and not one is able to crack it."The two proceed to the main spectacle. Their eyes feast upon dozens of mechanisms and devices. Still, to their surprise, unlike what Taflen predicts- Arwin is not the one whom the spectators' crowd.Everyone is celebrating someone else’s passing of the first round- the only one who passed.

“The note. Mark sends me the note shaking his head sideways.” Rosa analyses, “What if it’s a clue? A direction?”Taflen and Rosa immediately go to where Mark might have been pointing. Upon arriving at some sort of small infrastructure, Rosa recognizes the belongings and says, "These belong to Gloin and Mark."Taflen chuckles, finally realizing what their role is. Taflen says, "We're going to make it seem like we were looking for Something. We're going to trash the place when they return."“I don’t get it.” Rosa protests, “Why would Arwin wants us to do such a thing? Aren't you overthinking it?”"Knowing Arwin, nothing is ever coincidental. It's all part of her plan. Upon seeing the trashed place, the merchant will grow conscious and aware that there are others out there set to steal Gloin's designs. He will grow impatient and paranoid rushing the design."“Then Arwin is aiming for-&l

John sighs and says, "It's going to be okay. I asked Simon's help to cure Mark in exchange for working for him."“Why would you do such-““Would you rather I stay idle there cursing at why I couldn’t do anything despite being a doctor?” John cuts Gloin off, “I had to do something.”Mark places his hands on Gloin and shoots him a look. Gloin sighs and says, “You better finish that mechanism and come back to us soon.”Nexus and John gulp hard as they leave alongside Simon back to the Night Rose ship.As soon as it’s clear, Rosa and the rest heads back to their hideout. Rosa bursts out, “Would you mind explaining what just happened?”"We have no clear idea, in all honesty." Mark starts, and Gloin continues after a long sigh, "Arwin didn't meet us personally, but she left a blueprint of what I have to finish. Nexus came here a little earlier telling us to play along with her

"Arwin clearly instructed us to only contact her when the second part of the mechanism is done. She's going to board the ship. We can't make reckless and unnecessary contacts." Taflen says, "We're going to have to stall.""And how do you propose we do that?" Rosa asks, and soon, everyone looks at her with intent eyes. Rosa says, "Oh great, we're using me. I'm not going to enjoy this definitely.""We've got our tasks. Let's move along."Everyone gulps hard and goes along with the plan.On the other hand, as Nexus and John are brought back to the Night Rose ship, Nexus is being greeted by whistles and snide remarks for being a girl. They tease, "Oh, Simon, you always bring the best ones."“I’m calling dibs!” One after the other starts to shout and staying in character, Nexus hides behind, acting vulnerable and weak as if she is not capable of beating everyone’s ass there.Simon sees Nexus feeling uncomfortable and pats

"John definitely knows this Sinas you're talking about. His reaction about bringing someone back to life gave him away." Simon continues, "He probably worked under Sinas before, but I don't think they had a good relationship. His stern expression suggests that."“That means that he also knows about Arwin’s death.” Luther continues, “Keep an eye on him.”“And the girl? Nexus? Did you find anything about her?” Luther addsTo this, Simon shakes his head, "No. She's quite reserved, and she doesn't seem to pose a threat."“It’s always the ones you least expect.” Luther sighs, “Prepare a spectacle tomorrow. Nexus will be showing us how she creates the first part- if indeed she’s the inventor of such design.”“Why would she lie about that? No one would dare step inside our ship.”"I don't know, but something about her feels off." Luther continues, "She reminds

"I did." Nexus avoids his gaze as she proceeds to the main deck, where everyone starts to gather. The crewmembers start to bring in the tools she needs and the broken parts.She finds John in the crowd and shoots him a look. Nexus pretends to feel nauseous; she makes herself fall hard on the floor, leaving everyone surprised. Luther squints his eyes, knowing that Nexus might be delayed, which makes him even more suspicious.Yet before Luther can even more check on Nexus, John hurries to her side and states, "She's pale. She probably passed out due to low blood or something."Luther flinches and remarks, “Indeed. Nexus told me earlier she… erm… have her period and stuff.”"That explains it," John says and carries Nexus inside a room. He says, "I might need a hot compress and something sweet."Luther retreats back to his room after saying, "Understood. The spectacle will continue as soon as she's woken up. Until then, everyo

Arwin walked calmly. Wendy saw her when the young woman said, “Yes, everything turned out for the best, they gave everyone immunity, and they decided to unsubscribe. The army’s way of doing things is not the best!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “It’s true. It is not! But it’s good that the republic doesn’t follow them anymore. They’ve been close to me for a long time, so you don’t have to worry!”Smiling, Arwin thanked him and said, “I know! The mafia has done a lot for us, and we are available. We will open a special commission agency, and we can take on any job. Any…!”Wendy, with a smile, said, “I’ll keep them in mind then… Tell me! On the hand, how does it work?Smiling, Arwin nodded, saying, “The hand works great! Just like Strickland’s arm, though, he only knows how to complain….!”Wendy nodded and, seeing Arwin said, “That’s great, but if you don’t need anything, what did you come to do? Just to say hello?”Arwin nodded and said, “I wanted to know how you were, but more than anyth

Arwin was unconscious and the warm hand of a person she knew brought her back to reality. Everything was collapsing, and a one-armed man was pushing hard to remove part of the railing that was above it.“Luca.”She whispered when she saw the effort that the man-made toward her. She placed both hands on the railing and, helping him between the two of them, managed to lift her, she looked at him, and he said, offering her a hand, “I was worried, and I came to see how you were!”She, smiling, took his hand and, standing up, said, “It was difficult, but I did it! Is dead!”Luca smiling, began to run to the side of Arwin. Both were injured but kept a steady pace walking to get out of that place. Arwin seeing him, looked at his bandaged leg and said, “You managed to beat Skyler!”The smiling young man looked at him and said, “Nine times out of ten, she would have lost… I was very lucky!”She looked at him and was sure that he was speaking sincerely. However, she also knew how efficient he w

Arwin looked at the man walking towards her. Her shirt fell to the ground and showed a torso full of scars. The man raised his hands, looked at the pirate, and said, “It is said that you were the captain of a pirate ship. Is that true?”Arwin tightened his muscles, and the smiling man said, “I also!”With speed, she approached. For Arwin, it was strange to see a person of that size move at such speed, the man launched two direct blows to Arwin’s face, and the young woman, moving her head from side to side, managed to avoid them.He prepared a strong uppercut and threw it at the girl’s face. She tilted her face back to avoid the blow, but she could only feel the impact and see the entire room move around her. She didn’t understand what was happening.She was sure she had dodged it, but now the whistle that deafened her ears was in accordance with the erratic movement of the lights when the next blow caught her in the stomach.She felt a powerful hollow in her stomach as her legs failed

Arwin looked straight ahead at the swordsman of the black knights, the corpses of his companions adorned the entire anteroom, and he said, smiling, “After killing you. I’ll go find that Skyler guy and finish him off!”She, smiling, calmly breathed as she squeezed the handle of her gun. In that place, the smell of blood began to permeate everything, and the man in front of her said, “This is it. It’s the end!”Taking a step forward, he pressed the handle of his sword. That action generated a reaction from Arwin, who, with full power, advanced. Their steps were synchronized, and in a fraction of a second, the blood on the ground splashed from their strong steps until they crossed each other and stayed behind their enemy.They both calmly smiled, and it was one of Arwin’s daggers that broke at that moment. She looked at it and straightened up, and looked back when she said, “The weapons of the black knights are unmatched!”Seeing the man, he fell to his knees, and slowly, his hands went

Luca watched Skyler. Every move in his mind ended with the man stabbing him somewhere in the body, and even though the sword was severed and its reach reduced, Skyler didn’t look fazed in the least.In a normal fight with a normal person, Luca would have the advantage because of his armory on his arm, but against Skyler, all those weapons were useless. Something about that person was extraordinary, and his ability to fight was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Luca’s.Skyler bending her knees forward, jumped towards him, Luca raised his arm, trying to anticipate the blow, but the union member did not reveal his attack until the last minute.With a precise sword strike to the abdomen, Skyler made Luca step back, activating the barrel of his weapon. He opened his palm so that it pointed at Skyler, and the young man, only leaning forward a little, managed to dodge the shot.Swinging his sword hard, he hit Luca’s arm with the edge making his hand do a huge flip, and with his bare

Arwin and his men arrived at the antechamber of the emperor’s room. They all looked at the door ornamented with the symbol that was the shield of the empire on the doorknobs while they breathed deeply. Arwin said, “Once we go in, probably if we find opposition, they have to be careful and attack firmly. We don’t know what’s in store for us!”But that was not entirely true, and she had a clear notion of what was waiting for her behind that door. Seeing her companions before entering, she said, “Listen, if there are any black knights entering behind this door, I want you to retreat immediately… if you stay, you will die!”One of the soldiers saw her and said, “We will not retreat. If we even die, we have to make sure to make your mission easier, and if the black knights are behind this door, then we will have to face them, that’s all!”She smiled, the support of her men always lovely, and kicking the door hard, she had a split second to see the formation in front of her.Four soldiers a

Holly looked back and could see Loid storming in, firing her gun and sliding on her knees to get behind the wall her grenade had built. Seeing Holly, she asked, “Are you okay?”She was happy to see him and smiling. She nodded, breathing deeply. Loid saw how a fragment of the wall deteriorated and, looking to the side, said, “First, we must move. This won’t last long!”Coming out of the side of the wall, he raised his rifle and, firing several times, managed to hit Ben in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Looking at Holly, they both began to run at full speed towards another iron container.From the ground, Ben threw his nails, trying to kill them, but they moved quickly and managed to take cover.Loid was surprised, and seeing Ben stand up, he asked, “I gave him six shots. How the hell is he intact?”Holly, with a hint of frustration in her voice, said, “He’s reborn. I shot him in the head, an explosion with a grenade, I even hit him with a forklift, and he’s still whole. It won’

Luca was right in front of his enemy. The man in the white suit was smiling despite the wound on his shoulder. The man was looking at Luca carefully when he said, “Do you think you can survive this time? This injury was because you took me by surprise!”With those words, the man threw himself on Luca. He threw a hook hoping that Luca would protect himself but instead, the soldier moved his head from the place of the impact avoiding the blow with ease.The man looked at that, but, far from being discouraged, he launched a strong kick to the abdomen, but Luca, moving with his legs, got out of the reach of the blow. The man started throwing combination after combination, but Luca moved his body kept away from him.The frustrated man felt the pain in his shoulder when Luca smilingly said, “It’s not space mechanics. If I can’t cover myself, then I’m going to dodge everything you throw… your physical condition isn’t very good!”The smiling man shook his head and said, “As if they hadn’t tri

Arwin was running at full speed. The corridors turned into different paths but they had their path well established. They exactly knew which direction to go thanks to Holly’s help. However, the girl had stopped responding, and that puzzled Arwin a bit as he advanced with a glance. A quick glance at the troops that were with her, the girl stopped.She was looking at her men curiously when one of the Mafia soldiers asked, “What’s wrong, Arwin?”She is a quick movement, took out her dagger and, throwing it at full speed, stabbed one of the mafia soldiers directly in the chest, and all the soldiers raised their rifles to point at her. They were terrified when she, without paying any attention to them, saw how the man stabbed in the ground became another person.The guards looked at each other and saw Arwin, and the girl said, “Apparently, he can change his appearance and clothes at will... I don’t know when he replaced one of you, but he did!”One of the mafia soldiers looked at her in su
