"So this is the map of the Old World?" Yuria asked with her brows raised when Gunner activated a miniature formation that projected a holograph that displayed a large map. Lily, Reva, and Valentina were surprised to see such a strange formation that could display colorful maps like this, which also showed how much greenery and water each place had. The only maps they knew were those that were made out of paper and could be rolled up easily. But this strange device that projected a map seemed even more…-

All three teams left the meeting room, leaving Kena and Alex alone. The moment the door was closed and locked, Alex asked with her hands behind her back, "Why did you let Lily and her team take up this mission. Aren't they quite new and important assets? Each one of them could help us turn the tide if allowed to reach their potential." Kena nodded as she kept staring at the door, "Yes…I have no doubt they would one day be powerhouses in their own right. But caging a dragon to protect it will still make…

"There are three squads standing before me, and all of you together will be tasked with saving an entire station that is under siege by the ghouls. It is way smaller than our station, but we have to recapture that station since it would be vital to retrieving the final piece of the map. Gunner's team has the most experience, so he will be the squad commander, leading all of you," Kena said as Gunner and his team pressed their arm against the chests and shouted in a respectful tone, "Yes, leader! I won't…

One week passed by, and it was quite a busy day for certain important people in the Blackthorn Station. An important meeting was going on at the headquarters of the station. However, much to the surprise of others, four newcomers with a beauty that outshone the moons and stars were standing in the room as well. But none of them questioned their presence after seeing their prowess personally. Each of them had unique abilities that could blow away even those considerably stronger than them. Lily and Reva…

"Sleep with you? Is sleeping necessary?" Damien asked, just to be sure he heard right. The first thought that came to his mind when she asked made him rebuke himself. But on second thought, he knew what she meant. It was just that he still found it surprising since would cultivators of his level need sleep every day, let alone someone like his aunt? Akira shook her head softly and said, "I know we don't really have to sleep, but sleeping has its benefits. At least for a few hours, you should sleep since…

"That was tasty!" Damien finished the last bit of food on his plate with an astonished look. He was already feeling hungry, but he knew even without his hunger, the food would still taste quite delicious. Surprisingly enough, Akira served him vegetables and meat taken from beasts, though she didn't specify which one. He also saw her cook right in front of him, and it seemed like she truly enjoyed doing it. He considered himself quite an expert when it came to cooking, but he had to admit his aunt was…

"Damien, why did you and Mira sneak into the hall like that?" Akira asked with her arms crossed as she and Damien were standing in her room, which was quite elegant and big. Even the height of the room was tall enough to make Damien feel like he was standing in a hall. Right before he could go and see her, she had summoned him to her room already. Damien could see that his aunt didn't want him to be there during the meeting and said as he stood before her, "Is it because you don't want me to learn what…

Now Damien understood what his aunt was hiding. She was clearly worried about this matter but didn't want him to know to not involve him. But he wasn't someone who was going to sit still and let his aunt face all the difficulties in her path alone. He was determined to become her support before things could get harder. The meeting was soon over as there were no other important matters to be discussed. Mira didn't even realize when the air inside the chamber got so hot. Now that she had stopped focusing…

"Tsk, these cunning dogs!" Mira fumed upon hearing Mevron's words. But she then calmed down and answered Damien, "My Master is 1300 years old, and we know that she will be able to comfortably govern our people only for 700 years more. After that, she wouldn't be able to." Damien understood that fact since he had heard from Luna that the life span of Primes or those who were at the peak of the mortal world can live up to 2000 years. It seemed like a lot for him, and even 700 years also seemed like a lot.…

Mira narrowed her eyes and said, "I hate to say this, but you were right…He seems to be on to you. You better be careful, for your aunt's sake. If anything slips up before him…it's over. I didn't expect Master to know that we were here already." "You don't have to be so concerned about me. I know my way around people like him," Damien said with a half-smile, his mouth close to her ear. Mira felt her ear tickle when his breath brushed against it, making her feel weird, "Don't flatter yourself. I am…
