He pursed his lips, feeling a little restless and impatient while turning around the exquisite dagger on the bedside table next to him. The sharp edge of the dagger reflected the complex and unknown emotions brewing in his orange orbs, and a scraping sound echoed in the room when his wrist paused, causing the dagger to tear the surface of the wooden bedside table.The voice of the guard that was orderly reporting what happened after getting the instructions of Captain Ross choked before stopping still while looking down to avoid the terrifying eyes of their young lord.

Jared did not dare to leave General Markus’ side for fear of the latter’s weakened spirit for the past weeks, and the two of them scoured around the wall of the border town without alerting the town’s guards. They took a quarter of an hour to search and circle around the wall, but they did not find anyone suspicious from their high and wide field of vision at the top of the wall.“Where do you think they would go?” General Markus stood atop a dark corner of the wall with his hands behind his back.

He did not feel any worry at all, because he only smelled a single scent of a werewolf, and he is confident in the combat ability of his subordinate, especially since they are in their own territory with the terrain as their advantage. Instead, he focused on using his ability to scout around their one thousand meter vicinity.Jared did not know that because of his cautious attitude, he was not found by the captain of the black robed group. He slowly moved through the pathway while pushing his senses to the best of his ability for any sound, and he did hear something after walking for about a meter away from the entrance of the pathway. The sound of metal scraping against a rocky surface caused his ears to twitch, and Jared immediately paused while subconsciously positioning his body in a defensive stance. Jared took out the thin sword hanging beside his waist

As soon as Asha fell down directly to the bottom of the falling water, she felt an unbearable force slapping on her back and the trunk that she is holding wildly moved due to the chaotic change of the current.
