As Yujin and Mando celebrate their victory at the Itum tavern, there is a loud crashing sound made by the glasses of the mugs that are raised above their heads. The pair had returned to their customary perch on the edge of the room, behind the counter, where they are able to enjoy a modicum of seclusion from the other customers inside."I see that both of you have made it back. Here, have some milkfish that's been seared to perfection." As Irona, the waitress, positioned the platter in the middle of the table, she took the opportunity to greet the patrons. Since the food had not cooled down a bit, the temperature was still searing, and the smoke was so thick that Yujin had to move his face slightly away from it.“We didn’t order this, sweetcake.” Mando teased. “It’s in the house. Besides, I see that the two of you returned looking victorious, so I don't think a little treat would be too much of a burden on either of you.” she said, flashing Mando a seductive grin as she lightly brush

A little later that evening, Yujin was in his hotel room tallying up the amount of gold he still had stored away in his vault. Even if he decided to just leave the colony, he would still have more than enough money to support himself. Since he was finally able to succeed in regaining his powers, he has been considering this option ever since then. Out in the open, he said abruptly, "Hey system, do you hear me?" A digital holographic display materialized in front of Yujin's face, illuminating the majority of the statistical digits that involved Yujin. ‘What is it that you need, young master?’ Yujin's call was promptly answered by a female computer-generated artificial intelligence voice. "Would you be able to shed some information on the world that exists beyond these borders for me?" Yujin's tolerance was finally exhausted after some time had passed. He had been like this with the system, and yet it couldn’t provide him with any

Yujin immediately ducked out of his reflexes. And true to how Aera had warned him, there were sharp blades that went past above him. Had he even not lied down, he would have been swiftly pierced through by those blades. After witnessing that, Yujin immediately carried Aera and swiftly dashed off to take cover beyond a large waste bin. It was large enough to cover them up but too stinky that the two of them nearly puked. Although they don’t really have much of a choice either.At this point, it would be a better option to endure the rotten foul smell coming from whatever was left inside the waste bin rather than to not be able to smell anything anymore because they were already dead.“Do you know who these people are?” Yujin immediately asked Aera.Aera, on the other hand, was still surprised upon Yujin’s gesture of actually carrying her with him as he escaped. She didn’t know why would Yujin even save her after how she attempted to actually carry out her desire to kill him from the

The sight of Aera behaving in such a manner caused Yujin's hands to shake as he watched. He was not keen on the idea of her passing away in such a manner; in point of fact, he did not want her to pass away at all.Aera had already lost a significant amount of blood, and Yujin could not just stand by and watch her pass away like that. Yujin concentrated on keeping his composure throughout the ordeal. In this condition, he could not allow himself to be vulnerable to defeat. Because if that were to take place, he would eventually be unable to keep the equilibrium of the life energy within him.Their ability to conceal themselves would be compromised, and the fact that their adversaries would eventually find them would create an even more difficult situation for them to deal with. As soon as Yujin realized what was going on, he sped up their escape away from the location while he was still able to direct the majority of his life energy into the camouflage that concealed both of them.“Ope

“Hey, what did you just do?” Yujin approached the black security guard this time. He, too, was confused about what was going on. Until the black security guard eventually kicked the white man’s gun away from him before he turned around and faced Yujin to reply, “Yes, young master. I have come to serve you.”As if the black security guard’s words were not enough, he then removed his uniform to reveal a shirt with a sigil of canine graffiti art.“Wait! Could that perhaps mean—” However, before Yujin could even continue what he was about to say, "I am from the stray dogs order, young master. I’ve come to serve you as ordered by the founder.” the black security guard told him right away.Yujin could hardly believe it. He was still confused because just a moment ago this black security guard was also hunting him down and now he revealed himself as one of the stray dogs.Even though Yujin knew that the stray dogs ordemr are his loyalist, he couldn’t just simply trust this man who had ear
