Upon completing the stretcher, Veron hauled Bowen onto it.She could not lift the stretcher on her own and could only drag it along with her as she made her way slowly.'Nothing's going to happen to you, big guy. I'll get someone to help you.'Veron continued to pray silently as she continued on forward……On another end, in the Head General quarters at the Raksasa tribe.The Head General quarters were southwest of the palace and about as big as two football courts. This was where Tyson lived. It was comparatively a little less glamorous than Kokun's quarters but radiated a whole lot more authority.It was dark then, and there was hardly anyone on the street in front of the quarters save for a few small groups of black armored army riders patrolling the grounds.Just then, a figure rushed over and hid behind a tree not too far away.It was Darryl.Darryl was feeling extremely torn then.He had planned on sneaking into the palace after dark to get more information, but the pa
Seeing as she had been angered, the army riders did not dare to say much more as they retreated to the side.Loona did not waste any further words as well, getting off her horse and cutting into a nearby alley."Hey!"Loona looked nothing but impatient just as they entered the alley. She said to Darryl, "What's with you acting all mysterious? What do you need to say to me?"Darryl let out a breath before saying slowly, "I'm sure you know about the Empress going missing." As he spoke, he watched Loona's expressions quietly."Duh," Loona said without a second thought. "The notice said it all. That bastard from the Skyway Association did it."Ho ho…Darryl could not help but chuckle at her response. "The Skyway Association did it? Can that notice even be trusted? It's just a cover-up."Loona knitted her brows. "What do you mean?""Think about it."Darryl spoke slowly. "The Empress lives in the palace, and it's tightly guarded by many warriors. The Skyway Association wouldn't be
"Little sister!"Just as the servants had left the front hall, Tyson said in a calm tone, "Didn't I ask you to guard the farm over the forbidden grounds? What are you doing here?"Loona walked up to him, saying in a low voice, "The farm's so boring. I thought I'd come back to visit."As she spoke, Loona's gaze flashed. "I saw on that notice board that the Empress went missing. What's up with that?" As she spoke, she glanced at Darryl meaningfully, her gaze threatening.If this really had nothing to do with her brother, she was going to teach Darryl a real good lesson.Sensing Loona's gaze, Darryl smiled bitterly to himself.This young lady still thought that her brother was innocent until now.Just then, Tyson's face flashed with displeasure at Loona's question. "What happened to the Empress is a huge affair, one I'll see to myself. Don't you go prying for more information— just do your job."Loona bit her lip softly at the words. She was about to leave but could not help sayin
"Brother…" Loona held her face and looked at Tyson in disbelief. "Why did you hit me?" Then, her face showed aggrievance and anger.They had a good relationship because their parents passed away early, and Tyson had always taken care of his sister.To Loona, no matter what mistakes she made before, her brother would be utterly tolerant of her and never yelled at her. However, that day, he hit her because of the Empress.Feeling his sister's grievance, Tyson took a deep breath. He did not have the heart to do it but still said coldly, "I'm telling you, you must not tell others about what we said just now. Otherwise, catastrophe will come upon our family."Saying that, Tyson waved his hands tiredly. "Okay, you can go out now and think about it for yourself."'She has never experienced setbacks since she was a child, and she doesn't have much experience. I hope that starting tonight, she will become fully mature…'"Fine! I'll go!" Loona thought her brother would coax her, but seeing
From the entrance of the room, Darryl realized the room was pitch dark, but there were rustling sounds. Darryl hesitated as he stood at the door.'Loona must still be angry after getting slapped by her brother, and that's why she didn't light the lamp in her room. Plus, hearing that noise, it sounds like she is not asleep yet.'Thinking of that, Darryl pushed open the door lightly.Normally, Darryl would politely call out at the door whenever he entered a lady's room. However, at that moment, he was thinking about Monna's safety, and he impersonated a rider army. Therefore, Darryl disregarded those common etiquettes.At that moment, Darryl did not know that the courtyard was not a place for Loona to rest at all. Instead, it was the Second Lady whom Tyson married two months ago.The Second Lady's name was Ola, the daughter of a leader of the Raksasa Tribe. She had just turned twenty that year. She was beautiful and charming, and she was famous among the Raksasa Tribe for that rea
The Second Lady had never asked about Tyson's matters, but she was aware that he had been busy with official matters. When Darryl did not say a word, she thought he was being troubled by his problems.'Er…'Hearing that, Darryl felt helpless.He did not dare to say a word because he was not Tyson. He wanted to push the Second Lady away forcefully and run out, but he held back.'If I do that, this person would realize that I'm not the Great General. Then, she'd shout for the rider armies outside, and my identity would be exposed.''But, I can't stay here either…'"General!" As Darryl was worried about what to do, the Second Lady had already sat him down by the bed and put her cheeks close to his. "Are you keeping quiet because you're tired? Two days ago, I asked someone to bring some medicine from the Nine Mainland. It's used to adjust the atmosphere, and I heard that it's very effective. Let's try it later. Come, let me serve you."Mwah…Immediately, the Second Lady laughed shy
'Huh?'Opening the window made a loud noise. The two men guarding outside gave each other a look and rushed in."Sh*t. Miss escaped.""Let's go after her."The two men were shocked to find that Loona was not in the room and thought she had escaped through the rear window. Without any hesitation, they ran out.The two men did not realize that Loona had lured the enemies away from her territory. She did not escape. Instead, she hid underneath her bed.Hearing the two men's footsteps getting further away, Loona secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then quickly crawled out from the bed and ran toward the lobby. When she reached there, she was stunned.She saw the outside of the lobby was quiet, and Darryl was not there.'Sh*t…' Loona bit her lips tightly, and she started to worry. 'Would Darryl be found out and be caught? But, on second thought, Darryl is the Empress' VIP. His powers are unfathomable. If he insists on leaving, the rider armies at the Great General Residence woul
In the bathroom, Loona did not turn on the light as she was afraid the two cronies would return. So, she turned on the shower and started showering.Though the Raksasa Tribe was behind in technology, they had been trading with the Nine Mainland in recent years and had introduced many technologies. The Great General Residence was specially equipped with various electronic appliances.As a matter of fact, on a normal basis, Loona would not be so casual. After all, it was rather indecent to shower with a man outside.'But, tonight's a special situation, and that man is my brother. So, I'm fine with it.''More importantly, my brother is still in a coma, and I'm not afraid of being seen.'With the sound of water, Darryl, who was outside, slowly woke up.F*ck, what's going on here?'The moment he opened his eyes, Darryl could only feel a splitting headache. D*mn it, that woman was really cruel.' Due to the dim lighting, until then, Darryl had not known that it was Loona who had raided
