“What the heck is going on here?”A roaring voice came from in front of the doorway, and the next thing, several men in military attire stormed into the room. Maxwell was stunned and looked up in shock, as he didn't expect the military to be here all of a sudden.How did they find this place more or less knowing about Lily being here? He paused in his attempt, as he knew killing her now would worsen the situation he had found himself in. At least, Lily was able to stay alive. Just now she has been praying for a miracle to happen, and it seems to have. She didn't know who the men were or who sent them, but they had just saved her life, and she was truly grateful. “Who are you?” one of the men in military attire asked as he glared at Maxwell.Sighing, Maxwell stood up on his feet while holding the bag. These men were from the same military as August, and the fact that they were here meant that August knew about Lily and the scroll too. However, it changes nothing. He had already come

“Lily, right, we have met before, but that was like three years ago. Davis brought me to see your grandma to collect some herbs that can aid in healing. Our unit was severely injured with a deadly disease from fighting some forces. You have grown big indeed.”August cupped his chin as he explained and couldn’t help but be stunned at how fast she grew in size compared to when he last saw her. Lily immediately blushed. Back then, he had long hair that covered his entire face, so it wasn’t possible to see him clearly. However, the man she was seeing now was more mature, structured, and very hot, like those athletes in movies. The only difference was that, he was clad in casual clothes instead of designer clothes, just like they would.“How’s your grandma and your brother too? I can remember how stubborn he always is.” August smiled. There were a couple of things he couldn’t forget even if it took decades.Hearing this, Lily, who hadn’t spoken a word, instantly teared up. August didn’t n

While they were in the car, silence was embraced. Lily was thinking about what her life would become from now on, and what it would be like to find that island and whatever power it held. Would the power be strong enough to bring Michael down? What if it wasn't even that powerful, and yet they had risked too much for it? So many thoughts were bustling inside her head, making her want to go crazy. At some point, she felt there might be no hope, and at the same time, she wanted to feel hopeful. Why was her mind playing her like this? Lily began to question herself. No words were said, but from keen observation, it felt like August could read whatever was going through her mind. He sighed and spoke up. “Hey Lily, we will definitely get justice for your grandma and brother, okay? I'll make sure of it. He took a lot from me too, so I don't think I'll let him off for this.” He assured her with a smile. “Can you defeat him?” Lily turned to look at him and ask. Sighing, August rubbe

A few minutes passed by and August was done. He was seated in a chair with a small table in front of it while drawing everything that was on Lily's back.She had her back facing him and made sure to stand in a way he could get a clear view of everything.As for the others, they just couldn't sit down and keep waiting for him so they walked over and stood by his side watching.Everyone knew how perfect August was with drawings so no one even doubted if he could make a mistake or draw something that was just manageable.“I'm done.” It didn't take five minutes before August dropped his pencil on the chair. He lifted the map up taking note of every point, axis, navigations and pointers to know if he was missing out on something or if he had made a little mistake.After a while, not just him but everyone nodded their heads, impressed by what they were seeing.Apparently, not only did he draw exactly what was on Lily’s back, what he drew was actually better, clearer and much more detailed

August's mind was made up. Well, it had been made up a long time ago, but Michael had decided to enrage him further with his words. It seemed he didn't feel remorse for what he did, so, of course, he had to suffer for it. “How do we get to Elyria now?” David asked.“There are hundreds of cultivators out there. Their numbers might not be there much, but their capabilities alone will surely be terrifying since they are from a reputable sect. I've heard news about what Michael does to weak cultivators, so let's say, the disciples that he sent are all our powerful ones.” Alpha One was good at evaluating a situation after all, so he went on to pour out his thoughts.“It seems we are trapped then. “Maddie sighed. “What do we do then?” Lily asked, looking clueless, as she had never found herself in such a situation that involved racking her brain to bring out a solution. Though she might have, it wasn't as intense as this one. Her life only revolved around helping out her grandma in the
