Lahat ng Kabanata ng Retribution of the Roar: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

If there was a physical manifestation of bad chemistry, it was Ryder and Zed's partnership for the mission.   Ryder stormed Sir Vance's office after the announcement of their tasks. Leison trailed after him to stop him but he had already opened the doors without knocking. Sir Vance was there sitting and smoking like he hadn't lit up enough fires, especially Ryder's fury.   ''No offense, sir, but do you mind using your head for a while?''   Sir Vance just looked up at the person who was standing in front of his table and dared to just enter into the head of the Triad's room.   ''Look at you, all worked up,'' he mocked and blew a smoke.   Ryder dug his pocket

Kaihra led them to what seemed like an old warehouse past the marketplace.   It was the most quiet place that they have encountered after the slums and the market. Though the room that the girl Kaihra led them had blinking bulbs, at least it was not dirty, dusty, or smelly. It was a decent room with two bedrooms, a mini-kitchen, and a cabinet. But what really caught Ryder’s attention was the expensive white table at the far end of the room. It was glowing as a pure pearl and Ryder was a hundred percent sure that it was a scientists’ table. What was it doing in a place like this?   Zed grunted as the Kaihra wrapped it tight with clean bandages. Zed looked okay at the moment unlike earlier where his face had gone a little pale from all the blood that he lost.    “What?” Z

Raeya and her other friends were rushing to the hospital. Earlier, they had received news that a bomb exploded at the place where Ryder and Zed were on their mission. Sir Vance immediately sent a rescue team but they didn't find them at the scene. It was only when the manager of Hanki Hospital, the place where warriors are treated, called them saying that Ryder and Zed were there. ''Let's go.'' Leison was the first to stand up but it was Raeya who beat them at the parking lot. The rest of Aegis didn't waste any time and hopped on their motors without waiting for the call to be finished. They zoomed from their house to the center of the town where Hanki hospital was located. To think that they were transported there, miles away from their original mission point, were they in grave danger that the hospital there couldn't take care of them? More importantly, did they encounter Hearth? Because if they did and they were responsible for the explosion, Raeya would seriously go all-out whe

To think that the emergency meeting would only consist of them three. They weren't even able to rest from their mission when Sir Vance summoned them to the temporary headquarters. The two thought it was an official meeting but then, Sir Vance invited the two in his room, locked the doors, and offered them coffee. ''No?'' Sir Vance asked with an eyebrow raised when he saw that Ryder and Zed were not moving in their seats. ''I'm fine,'' Ryder said. ''I'll have mine,'' Zed answered to which Sir Vance gave him a mug with dark coffee in it. The aroma filled the whole room but not enough to arouse Ryder. At that moment, he didn't want to do anything but sleep on Sir Vance's bed. Sir Vance’s new room was cramped compared to his glorious office back at the old Triad that Hearth destroyed. His office was the largest and was covered in black tiles from the floor to the ceiling. It would seem like it was empty but in reality, every tile stored something, whether a table, a chair, or a TV set

Kaihra was doing chores as usual. She was already at Absinthe for a week and it felt great. It was like she was really part of the family when they just picked her up. Though she couldn’t go out on her own because of the danger of Hearth’s presence still inside Khenealm, that was fine by her since she was more than grateful to be living here rather than the dark marketplace. The Absinthe house always needed lots of cleaning. It was no wonder why it was the first thing Macy introduced to her. There was always a shelf that had disorganized books, a sachet of coffee somewhere, a misplaced card, or a scattered board piece. At first, Kaihra was surprised that such issues of cleanliness were present in a house of adults. Back at her old room, even though she lived in such an untidy place, she still managed to not make it obvious that she was living underground. But as the days went by, she saw that the Absinthe members weren’t doing it on purpose. It’s just that there were times when they
