Chapter 121 The Invitation

Seeing the troubled look on Luo Ning's face, Lin Wanrong said, "Miss Luo, do you think my request is unreasonable?"

Luo Ning furrowed her brows lightly, whispering, "Big brother, these conditions indeed pose a challenge."

Lin Wanrong looked serious. "Miss Luo, do you find this challenging? I don't think so. Have you considered that, while you may have a thousand reasons to ask others for charity, it might put them in a difficult po...

Luo Ning chuckled softly, "Big brother, there's no need for such formalities. Qiaoqiao is like a sister to me. Besides, I had other business today, which brought me here."

Lin Wanrong nodded approvingly. This made sense; he was not so conceited as to think that Miss Luo had come specifically for him. Though he often prided himself as the most handsome man in Jinling, he was well aware that his charm had no effect on Luo Ning....

‘It's a shame that I couldn't capture him and discern his identity, but it won't be the last chance.’

Nahan. As Yuder whispered this name, he recalled the man who exuded such a dangerously overwhelming aura. It was rare to remember a stranger one had met only once, but that man was vividly etched in his mind.

‘But… considering that I am trembling all the way up to my shoulders… I'm worried about how Kishiar will react.’

He wasn't...

"Ugh... What... what is this...."

At the same time Nahan's body violently collided with the wall, Kiolle managed to somewhat pull herself out of the illusion and regain consciousness. Groaning softly, she shook his head.

"Why does my arm hurt so... No, why... why am I covered in dirt...? What is this!"

"That's not the problem. If you've regained your senses, run quickly!"

The boy, Nahan's companion, started running toward him. Yuder gr...

"Why do we have to kill this one too? Why?"

"Why are you so keen on protecting him? He's a worthless human being."

In Nahan's cold grey eyes, a ruthless gleam arose.

"There's no value in us fighting over that idiotic man. Haven't I been a decent ally up until now? Trust me. Let go of his arm and come here."

"..."

Yuder looked down at Kiolle's arm.

'Well, his point is hard to deny.'

Kiolle Diarca may indeed be a person...

Nahan immediately woke the next person according to Yuder's demand. However, the others could not answer the same question at all.

The only thing Yuder could find out was the fact that the family had given more rewards than usual when they caught an Awakener with a certain condition, and there was a box containing a small amount of correspondence they had exchanged with the family.

"They gave rewards when you caught a certain Awakener? Say it agai...

Yuder watched them in silence.

If they truly thought death was better, they would never talk like they did. Those who took on dangerous missions, ready to face death if captured, typically carried poison within them or signed an oath that would explode and kill them instantly if they were caught.

'Those who neither carry poison nor sign oaths sure talk big,' Yuder thought.

Yuder had his own way of dealing with such individuals. For those wit...

"I have a rough idea of whom my brother might have sided with. The Apeto Duchy has been trying to expand its power in the east these days."

Upon hearing this, Gakane glanced slightly towards Devran. He could see Devran nodding, signifying his agreement with Zachlis's assessment.

"I also heard that name when I was captured."

"I see. Apeto..."

‘Could those that Yuder is currently facing also be of this family?’ Gakane didn't know muc...

"My goodness! Dermilla!"

"Zachlis!"

As though no one else existed, the man who arrived breathlessly embraced Devran's sister, weeping loudly. Even Devran, who was about to shout at him, couldn't stop their momentum.

"Dermilla! Dermilla! Is it really you?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I can't believe it, by the gods. After hearing that you were dead, I, I couldn't... Oh, thank the gods!"

After a long bout of sobbing in each other's arms...

Devran, who should have been dead to atone for all his sins, couldn't be allowed to live. The same was true for the people of the Apeto family who had joined hands with him and orchestrated all these events. If it were revealed that Zakail had joined hands with them to seize the Lordship, he could never be forgiven.

Even though he hadn't yet inherited the Lordship, with the success of everything right before his eyes, he didn't anticipate such a turn of...

"A monster, huh? That's harsh."

Gakane grumbled lightly, maneuvering his shadow clone. The shadow clone, carrying the lightweight Gakane who held Jimmy, hurtled fearlessly towards the open window.

"Ah!"

Jimmy screamed at the sensation of falling, but what followed the thud wasn't pain or shock. The shadow clone carrying them had landed on the ground as gently as a whisper.

"Gakane, next time give me a heads up before doing something li...

"Wow. Did people really tell you all that? Folks we met outside didn't even bother to say a word. How on earth did you manage it?"

"It's different when a group of men in black uniforms come asking questions and when one person approaches in a non-threatening manner."

Gakane chuckled as he plopped down on a chair near the bed.

"At any rate, you have a sense of what's happening now, right?"

"I think the reason Devran disappeared must be ...

Kiolle stared at Yuder with the face of someone that had barely survived falling straight into hell. Of course, his gaze soon diminished like a small flame extinguishing in front of a chill breeze before Yuder's direct stare.

"Admission, apology, and a declaration to do anything. All three are the best things you've said so far. Not a bad persuasion."

At Yuder's words, Kiolle managed to express a bit of hope. But Yuder soon replied with a cold loo...

"I came this far following the Commander's order to find our missing team member. And I am on the verge of fulfilling that order. It's my duty as the assistant to the Commander of the Cavalry. But what about you?"

"The ability to make friends."

Yuder couldn't immediately understand what that power entailed. Despite having traveled back in time, it was the first time he'd heard of such a power. Upon making eye contact with Yuder, the boy quickly hid behind Nahan, as if frightened.

"Yes, since you've found your companion, your objective must be achieved."

Yuder thought that Nahan would just take his young ally and disappear. If it had been him, he would...

"Thank you... Thank you, Yuder. I will never forget this favor."

"Thank you. Truly, thank you."

Yuder bowed his head, watching the siblings repeatedly express their gratitude through tear-filled eyes. Until now, it had merely been a stroke of luck. If he had been even a bit later, Devran's family would already have been dead, and Devran himself might have been dragged to the Apeto Duchy.

"No need for thanks just yet. Save it for when we've s...

When they realized their scheme had been exposed, they changed their methods. They attempted to persuade him using the lives of his father and younger sister as bait and subjected him to severe torture, just shy of breaking his bones.

Moreover, they had attached a magic bomb to his body, which would instantly detonate upon detecting any use of his abilities, rendering him powerless.

Devran could only hope that they would sense something was wrong ...

"Devran Hartude. Is Devran Hartude here?"

Even after the voice echoed, the prison remained eerily quiet. Even Kiolle's groans had subsided, intensifying the grim atmosphere.

"Devran Hartude. I am a Cavalry member here to rescue you. The Commander has ordered me to bring you. If you're here, answer."

Having said that, Yuder quietly counted in his mind. He planned to open all the doors at once if there was no response after countin...

Nahan gently closed and opened his hand, his figure shifting to resemble one of the unconscious individuals. Yuder couldn't see his own appearance, but he looked down at his body, which seemed to be wearing unfamiliar clothes, and realized that the illusion ability had been properly applied.

They pocketed the personal items of the unconscious ones and entered the cave with their water containers. The outside was so dense that it seemed impossible to see...

"It's all because of Kiolle. He stormed out in protest of this training..."

"Hmm. So, you were forced to follow such a lad and ended up running into us. That's unfortunate indeed."

If he had arrived just a little later, or if he had stayed quiet where he was, none of this unpleasantness would have happened. The Warden's words made the subordinate knight grind his teeth in agreement, bowing his head even lower.

"So, you didn't know we were he...

The Warden's expression changed at the mention of dogs of Apeto. The numerous worries that had been lurking over his downcast face seemed to dissipate into the cold air.

"...Did you hear what we said?"

"Yes, I heard!"

"I see. Do you happen to know where the other knights who came here for training are now?"

"Why are you asking about those bastards?"

"Well…"

Touching his ear and stalling, the Warden signaled the others aro...

"Someone was buried here, the blood was spilling. It's clear that they're gone. Looking at the circumstances, they didn't escape on their own, but who took them away?"

After finishing his speculation, similar to Yuder's, Nahan quietly turned his head to look deep into the forest. It was hard to make out footprints from the long-accumulated pile of leaves, but once he knew that someone had been here, several traces caught his eye.

A young branch th...

"Why...?"

"Surely you don't expect a guard to be unaware of that."

There was a hint of hesitation and a great deal of doubt in the eyes of the young guard who had met his gaze squarely. However, Yuder did not clarify the intent of his question.

"Incredible. He is the kind of person who couldn’t help but tell everything."

After the young guard had given all the answers and hastily left, Nahan, who had been watching him from a step beh...

To call it a misconception would have been incorrect; there was indeed a slight feverish warmth to Jimmy. Perhaps recalling what Yuder had mentioned before they arrived here, Gakane quickly approached and clutched both of Jimmy's cheeks.

"Ugh, what's going on?"

After a moment, he subtly nodded his head towards Yuder, casting a secretive glance. It meant that there were no signs of him manifesting his secondary gender yet.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Yuder escorted the three who had eaten their fill to a proper guest room, a stark contrast from their previous accommodations.

"They claimed that everything else was completely burnt down, and only that storage-like room was left. But that was a total lie."

"I know, right? There's not even a hint of smoke and everything seems to be in perfect condition!"

Listening to the outraged voices of Gakane and Jim...

"Understood. But I fear I can't wait for long. I am simply famished."

"Attendant! Guide our guests to the reception room and arrange some food for them. Quick!"

Zakail barked nervously. Barely poking his head out from the door, the elderly attendant scrambled to respond, "Yes, sir!" Zakail watched the rabble depart, then swiftly washed his face and changed his clothes.

He thought the world would be his once the funeral was over, but what on ...

Gakane had summoned his shadow clone to sift through the stacked boxes, spreading the cleaner ones on the ground. Once he had arranged some of the boxes to serve as makeshift chairs and a bed, everyone sat down. Then, Nahan started a conversation with Gakane.

"Why do you want to know?"

Though Gakane had always seemed friendly, his reluctance to let down his guard in front of Na...

Yuder had purposefully obscured his true intentions. His original aim was to find traces of Devran Hartude, but to do that, he needed to meet the Lord anyway. This question could also confirm the extent to which the information given by the bandit was true.

Sure enough, the expressions of the guards darkened instantly, suggesting Yuder was not wrong in his thinking.

The moment the Second Miss caught sight of the figure behind her, she jumped up, startled. She glanced at Lin Wanrong, her face flushed with embarrassment and she stood there, too flustered to move.

The Eldest Miss approached, positioning her younger sister behind herself, and sternly interrogated Lin, "Lin San, what on earth are you doing?"

Upon exiting the temple gate, she saw a shallow pond in the distance, glittering with a silver radiance under the winter sun. It was winter, and the willows around the pond had already withered, a few solitary leaves floating on the water, an epitome of desolation.

Xiao Yushuang glanced around, but she saw no sign of Lin San. Confusion surged within her. He had clearly been captured by villains, so how could he suddenly appear b...
