Chapter 210 The whole group was whisked away from the dignitaries now that they had the footage of them in the background that they would need to dub into the official press releases, and everyone began to relax as they got further away from the site of the System stones.
Chapter 209 Lotus gave Karl a pitiful look, as if he should take the entire fall for this discovery. Not that it was going to be a negative mark on their record, very much the opposite, actually. But the discovery of a Holy Relic of any calibre came with an
Chapter 208 Tessa picked the mage up to give her a spinning hug, then conveniently placed her down away from the centre of the formation and took her place. The golden light flared and seconds later the Red Dragon Priestess erupted with fire, which coalesced into battle armour, with a
Chapter 207 There were a suspicious number of magical plants in the area, that much was clear to everyone, but they were doing their best to collect what they could, not leaving much to regrow, unlike an area that could be safely farmed later. The magical plants would attract more
Chapter 206 Once the resources were safely stowed away, there was no more need to hold back on the combat, and Karl pushed as much energy as he could into the oversized blade, allowing it to slice deeply into the wounded Giant. It wasn’t going to be that easy to
Chapter 205 Once Rae and Lotus returned from their flower hunting trip, with the flower safely stowed in Rae’s space along with the branch it was growing on, Alice got the group moving in the direction that Hawk had recommended for them to follow past the mole monsters. Hawk had
Chapter 204 The team leader wiped sleep from his eyes as he tried to get his armour straightened when Alice started yelling. This group was a mess, and they were very nearly literally a mess, if Alice and the others hadn’t shown up to block the Ogres. But there were
Chapter 203 The next morning, Tessa and Lotus, along with the military team’s healer, made a big breakfast for everyone, while the rest of the unit took a swim in the lake. Undershirts and military issued boxer briefs were the fashion of the day, getting the essentials clean while they
Chapter 202 By the time that the tribunal was finished with everyone they wanted to call for witnesses, it was nearly lunch, so they postponed the final two interviews with the Base Commander and the Captain for after the meal. That cut out almost all chance of getting a proper
Chapter 201 When Karl’s morning shift came, he found that the patrols were still circling past the large tree, and that they were more numerous than the patrols the first night that they had been here had been. They also had a Church Guard with some of the patrols, and
Chapter 500 For the first time since last night, the warmth between them vanished in an instant. Eric couldn’t wrap his head around it. Even after everything, Hadley still seemed to keep him at arm’s length. His brows furrowed as he studied her. “What’s on your mind?” Hadley blinked up
Chapter 499 It wouldn’t surprise him. Even he felt unsettled when he caught sight of his own scars in the mirror. It wasn’t hard to imagine how terrifying they might be for someone as delicate as Hadley. Still, he decided he wouldn’t force it. When she was ready—if she was
Chapter 498 Eric paused, turning to her with a calm expression. “Getting something… You don’t want to get pregnant so soon, do you?” At the very least, shouldn’t they wait until marriage before considering that step? “It’s fine.” Hadley’s voice was firm, though there was a slight tension in her
Chapter 497 Relief washed over Eric, a slow smile breaking across his lips. Nothing felt better than knowing she accepted this—accepted what he had done for her. With an easy grin, he opened his arms and gestured toward the room. “Want to give it a spin?” “Why not?” “I’ll put
Chapter 496 “That’s your treat. Okay, bye!” When Hadley finally emerged from the dance studio’s entrance, Eric was already there, waiting. His voice carried across the evening air, and she instinctively quickened her pace, jogging toward him. “Hadley! Over here!” The moment she was close enough, Eric reached out, pulling
Chapter 495 “Hadley, Hadley…” Eric’s self-control was slipping. “Enough!” Realizing the risk, Hadley pushed him away swiftly. Her face flushed, her lips slightly swollen. In a tone that mixed teasing with irritation, she asked, “Are you going to eat, or what? I woke up early to cook, you know.” “I
Chapter 494 Footsteps then broke the silence. Eric looked up sharply. “Are you up now?” Hadley approached, her hair neatly braided down her slender back. Eric swallowed. It hadn’t been a dream—she had been there. “Where were you?” he asked, a slight note of grievance in his voice. “Just in
Chapter 493 “Eric…” “Humph.” His eyes chilled as he felt her resistance. “Is this your way of saying sorry? If you can’t even stand my embrace, why bother coming?” “No…” Hadley was quick to clarify. “It’s not that I’m refusing your hug. It’s just that you’re quite heavy—I wasn’t prepared
Chapter 492 After a long pause, she opened WhatsApp and typed, “Are you busy?” No response. Not that she expected one. That night, her performance was the first on stage, wrapping up early. By the time she stepped out of the studio, it wasn’t even eight. She checked her phone—still
Chapter 491 “Ah! It hurts! Let go!” Linda shrieked, tears brimming in her eyes. “Hadley!” Eric rushed forward, grabbing Hadley’s wrist. “Let go! Now!” Nyla and Ernest were still waiting! But Hadley didn’t let go. Didn’t even flinch. Eric had no choice but to tighten his grip, prying Hadley’s fingers
