All Chapters of Retribution of the Roar: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

A conjurer was finally caught after three months after the attack on the headquarters. Leison and the rest of the Aegis boys ran at top speed towards the abandoned facility. The kids, they looked like a neighborhood gang but with their reputation for the recent months going up, the people were finally looking up at them with honor again. Aegis was no longer being called as the rusty shield of Khenealm. Leison might be overreacting to it but it felt good to be revered as the modern knights once more. Finally, they had their image back. Thanks to a lot of..situations. When they received intel that some weird people were entering the abandoned facility weeks earlier, they took a lot of preparation to confirm if it was Hearth. When they saw that it was where they were meeting up with ordinary citizens, they also took time to plan on how to catch them. The girls did their best to play as 'entertainers', which Leison didn't approve of but glad that they didn't overdo it just to get more i

“It had never occurred to me that the great Sir Vance would take me out on a date,” Ryder said as he sat on the stool beside Sir Vance who was dressed like a country boy from the old generation with his faded jeans and checkered long sleeves. The bar was at its peak. They had turned on the music at full blast and the people at the center were having their crazy moments. The crowd was jumping up and down and shaking their bodies at the beat of the music. “How cheap. This is your version of a date?” Sir Vance said, swirling a red drink in one of his hands, his eyes lingering from left to right. He was being wary of their surroundings. The man couldn’t even relax in a place like this though Ryder understood his instincts. Sir Vance was a hardened warrior inside out being the man who took down a corrupt government and established a new one. A pair was making out on one of the corners and a man on the sofa in front of them had two women on his lap. “That was just a joke,” Ryder defende

Three months has already passed since the big attack at the Triad and both sides were taking their time recovering. As funny it might be, Hearth launched a grand attack just to steal some files. It meant there was a hidden challenge from the enemy. They were showing off their power, subconsciously letting Aegis and the Triad think that they are weak. It might also be a warning for them not to attempt to meddle with their business. That day indeed was a nightmare. The Triad has lost its base and they had made a temporary shelter in a plain business building at the center of the town. They had lost a thousand lives and more than a thousand files that day and of course, there was no way to recover it. Unless Hearth would give it back, but of course, that would be a miracle. After weeks of investigation, they learned that the reason why the headquarters was attacked was because of the intel it contained. The Triad was the central power of Khenealm even from history. Every tiny little

Jin Quohora knew Raeya’s emotional impulse so he decided to suggest to the chief that they wouldn’t let her tag along no matter what. When Richi’s raven arrived, Jin immediately discerned there was trouble for there was no letter but there was the smell of smoke–evil and unnatural smoke different from the campfires that surrounded Rokohorta Academy. Usually, the chief would call for a brief meeting before heading out but they were in the middle of a burial ceremony. The Rigiddin were very particular about such events and both Jin and the chief didn’t want to tarnish the heroic burial by just exiting when they themselves offered to be the host. “It seems that Hearth knows we are serious people when it comes to burials,” the chief said. “They took advantage of our little absence and surrounded Rokohorta. How far are they planning things out?” “They are serious like us,” Jin answered. Another thing that made them act normal despite hearing troubling news was because Khenealm official

Ryder knew he was messed upon seeing the shade of black cloth entering the gate. ''So even the Roar can chicken out,'' Leison chuckled beside him. Ryder closed the red curtain that led to the view of the entrance of their house base. He could still hear the giggles of the girls outside. For the first time in a long while, Raeya would sleep in their house. Her wounds have healed and the higher-ups deemed that she was good to return at Aegis and able to participate in missions again. She was really supposed to return so why was he freaking out? On the other hand, it was good that she was back at Khenealm. He heard from Sir Vance that things were looking tight back at the Rokohorta Academy. They specifically instructed that Raeya should know nothing of their situation. Even if Ryder wanted to tell her, he couldn’t imagine looking at her straight in the eye. After a few months that they lost their contract with each other, they haven't spoken, not even looked at each other. They were
