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
"I beg you, don't hurt Edward. Let alone kill him!" Valerie was still trying to plead.All of Valerie's thoughts were focused on Edward's safety, not thinking about herself. Riko might actually kill him, but Valerie was sure that Riko wouldn't have the heart. She had been friends with Riko and Valerie knew that Riko would never hurt her. That's why Valerie dared to make a threat that Riko couldn't possibly carry out.Indecision still plagued all of Riko's thoughts. In Riko's heart, he didn't think that Valerie would give a condition that she thought was ridiculous and unreasonable. To the point that it made her think that there was something behind Valerie and Edward that she didn't know about."You can't kill me, right? Then let Edward go." Valerie walked towards Edward slowly.Edward's current condition was helpless. He was lying on the solid ground. His skin was reddened to blisters from the flames that Riko had spewed."I will take Edward away from here," Valerie said firmly.In
"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
Valerie looked around her. They arrived in front of the hospital.How fast Riko ran. Valerie thought."You have to get well first to kill me." Riko entered the hospital, calling the nurse on duty to treat Valerie immediately."You'll see. When I recover, I'll ensure you die by my hand." Valerie threatened again with her vicious face but was stopped by the pain from Riko's fire blast."Yes, I'll wait for you here," Riko said. She completely ignored what Valerie said.Riko walked to the reception desk to register Valerie's treatment first."What business do you have here? Do you feel any pain? Did you eat the pizza Valerie brought?" A question from a familiar voice greeted her while she was filling out Valerie's personal details.Riko turned her head towards the source of the voice. "Uncle?" she asked in a greeting tone."Are you sick?" King Mowen asked for the second time.Riko shook his head. "I'm fine, Uncle. You don't have to worry. I'm fine."King Morwen turned Riko's body around,
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
For almost half an hour, Riko struggled with the feeling of indecision after knowing that the risk of using the power of the God's Cube would be detrimental to the Land of Pyloruf."I must not hesitate." Riko nodded his head, certain that he had made his choice.Bringing all the courage and guts he had, Riko devised a plan in her head to sneak into the room where the God's Cube was kept. Using his powers, Riko was confident that he would manage to steal it and bring it home.After crossing over and finding a safe place, Riko quickly transformed into a snake. "This way, it will be easier for me to take the God's Cube," Riko said.Without fear of being discovered, Riko wandered through the bushes. Her eyes wandered in all directions, looking around for the guards who were circling the room where the God's Cube was kept."There are seven guards, I should be able to take them out in one go." Riko began to think of a trick that would work."I have an idea," she said as she stuck out her to
"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
The next day.Riko paced by his apartment window to await King Morwen's return."Where did Daddy go? Why hasn't he come home until now?" Riko looked out the window anxiously. He regretted that he had disappointed his uncle."I shouldn't have mentioned my desire to resurrect Valerie's father to you," Riko muttered sadly.Riko was very worried about King Morwen. Especially since he seemed to be in pain earlier. Riko was afraid that there would be danger on the way."Should I go with daddy?" Riko hesitated, but he knew. He feared King Morwen would be even angrier with him because he disobeyed his father's orders."What's wrong, Riko?" Arthur walked over to the young man, who looked agitated.Riko gasped in surprise, spontaneously turning to Arthur."Why do you look troubled? What are you thinking about?" Arthur was worried about Riko. Riko was not usually stunned by the window.Riko sighed heavily, then looked down. "My daddy...." He said sadly, unable to continue his sentence."Your Dad
