The car Ryu was driving slowly began to approach Soka Forest. It appeared that the forest was extremely quiet, and the faint rays of light made the surrounding air feel oppressive.Not only that, there was a security post located on the right side of the road. The building looked new, with several traces of construction still leaving marks around it."Ryu, there is a guard post ahead. It seems the people guarding Soka Forest have noticed our presence."Vera informed him while staring at the security post with a sharp gaze. She saw two people come out of the security post in hurried steps."So, should we pull over first?"Vera's question made Ryu glance toward the two people who were now waving their hands on the right side of the road. The hand waves indicated that they were asking them to pull over for a moment.Ryu knew that the two guards would definitely forbid him from passing through Soka Forest. He would certainly pull over, because he did not want many problems to occur, espec

Liana froze when she saw the white object on the old tree disappear.“How could that thing just vanish? I couldn’t have seen it wrong, right?” Liana murmured softly.She felt that what had just happened was strange, and perhaps her sisters would not believe her.Not only that, the person she liked the most would surely think it was just a hallucination.Negative thoughts continued to pass through her mind, but a gentle hand soon tapped her shoulder.“Calm your thoughts,” Eliza said softly, then she saw her younger sister turn toward her with watery eyes.A gentle smile appeared on Eliza’s face, and she knew that her sister’s mind was filled with bad thoughts.“Tell me. What did the thing you saw just now look like?” Eliza went straight to the point of what Liana wanted to convey.Hearing Eliza’s question, the negative thoughts in Liana’s heart instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of comfort.Liana nodded, then she told them what she had seen earlier. It looked like a long piece of

They were all shocked when they saw that about three hours had passed.They knew that they had only been around the bus for a few minutes, yet now the time that had passed was far greater.This left the three women confused and filled with questions.Ryu understood what the women were thinking. He maintained a flat expression and spoke lightly. “It seems we have entered another place.”“Most likely, that place causes time in the world to move faster.”Ryu’s words made the women even more curious about that place.“For some reason, I think it is not another place, Ryu. Rather, it is some kind of illusion that drags us deeper in.”Vera offered an easy-to-understand speculation. After all, she clearly felt the difference.She could distinctly sense the moment when the change in time occurred.Ryu nodded, then said, “You could say it is like that. You did not realize that time had passed so quickly.”“If we stay here until nightfall, we might have to spend the night and leave tomorrow.”R

Hearing that question, a middle-aged man looked at his son with a complicated yet sharp gaze.“I cannot decide this matter, Karl. Your grandfather arranged this marriage,” the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.Karl Coranza was the leader of a special military force. He had a slender build, yet it was packed with muscle.Not only that, his eyes were flat and sharp like those of an eagle. He wore a black special military uniform with red lines.A name tag along with his rank was placed on the right side of his chest.Now Karl looked confused because he had been arranged into a marriage by his own grandfather. Moreover, he already had a lover whom he truly cherished.“I will talk to Grandfather! If he forces me, then I will resign from all my positions and leave the Coranza Family!”Karl made his final decision. He truly had no feelings for a woman from the Lorenza Family.Even if she was said to be outstanding, he already had the woman he loved, so he would never betray his lover.“

The voice from the other end of the call was deep and powerful. Even so, Kanta did not care and went straight to the main issue.“Why does Vera have a partner, Charles?!”Hearing his name, Charles Lorenza raised his eyebrows. His expression darkened as he replied.“Why shouldn’t she?! Doesn’t Karl also have a lover?!” Charles said in a raised voice.Kanta immediately frowned. Of course, Charles’s voice could be heard by the three people in front of him.His expression became slightly uncomfortable when he saw that Karl, his own grandson, did not deny that fact at all.“I did not know about that. Still, will there really be a match to decide the marriage we arranged?”Kanta’s tone became calm. He did not respond to Charles’s harshness, knowing that his own question had stirred emotions.Kanta then heard Charles’s voice again, but he could tell that the person on the other side had softened, as if his earlier anger had faded.“Yes, I have already contacted Vera’s partner. That kid is qu
