2022-05-26 14:06:00Ashtria heard the guards' footsteps approaching the shop. Ashtria gritted her teeth as she turned her head to face the shop owner. She pulled out the dagger and prepared to sever the shop owner's neck, but the guy with her grabbed her hand and both of them fled.
"What are you doing? Let me kill that man first before we leave!" Ashtria yelled at him.
"Don't waste your time with that idiot; I've already scattered bombs around his shop; a few seconds later, it'll explode quickly," the guy said, as the two of them hid in a small house near the shop. After seeing the two inside his house, a large man sitting in a chair was taken aback.
"What the hell are you two doing in my house? Get out–" the big man abruptly stops speaking as Ashtria dashes behind him and puts him to sleep.
The man did not bother what happened to the guy and instead opened the window. They noticed a forest behind it, and the man speaks to Ashtria. "Let's get out of here," he said, and Ashtria followed his instructions. She hurriedly exited the window, and Ashtria halted when she heard there was an explosion.
Ashtria takes a step back and examines the location of the shop from which they came. Ashtria's gaze was drawn to the guy after he successfully escaped from the window.
"Let's go," the guy said coldly, taking the lead. As he was the one who knew the way, Ashtria trailed behind him. She believes the man she was following can be trusted, but she has a nagging suspicion that he is up to something. But for the time being, she needed to put her trust in him to keep him from fleeing.
"What's your name?" Ashtria asks abruptly, widening the guy's eyes and speaks.
"Lucas," he said coldly, while they were both still running. Suddenly, a crowd of people wielding various weapons noticed them and tried to catch up with them. One man took his arrows and pointed them at them before releasing them; both of them bowed their heads, causing the man to grit his teeth as he was unable to hit the two.
Lucas abruptly slides and turns around in front of a gambling establishment. People are smoking, gambling, and selling illegal items in the area. Lucas looks at Ashtria and motions for her to follow him quickly. They walk through the crowds and down a narrow street until they reach another road filled with people lying on the ground. Some of them were crawling around, begging Ashtria and Lucas for food. Everyone here was skinny, as if their ribs were about to protrude from their bodies.
"This is a place where most people will not try to go; be aware of your surroundings and do not let your emotions drive you; these people may attack us with a knife," Lucas said abruptly while walking and focusing on his path. Ashtria simply looked at them and then at the path they were taking.
While walking, Ashtria suddenly recalls Lucas's sister, so she turns to look at him, hoping to catch a glimpse of his face. He's not even showing any fear or concern towards his sister.
"Your sister," Ashtria said, but Lucas continued to speak without looking at her. "She'll be with us in minutes," Lucas said and Ahstria just shrug her shoulders and continuing to walk in Lucas's footsteps.
He abruptly came to a halt in front of the large tree. She looked around and saw no one walking or lying on the ground, which confused her. She turns around to face Lucas, who is staring at a tree.
"Let's wait for my sister here," Lucas said, sitting down. He leaned against the tree, bent his knees, placed his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes.
"How would you know she'll be coming here? Wait... Are you planning something?" Ashtria asks, secretly holding her dagger as she suspects Lucas of betraying her or something.
"You still don't believe me up to this point?" Lucas asked, closing his eyes. Ashtria slowly removed her hand from her dagger, sighed deeply, and walked up to the large tree, leaning back and looking at Lucas.
Ashtria heard footsteps approaching them after a few moments. Lucas and she both look to their left, hoping it's their sister. Ashtria held her dagger, ready to strike if it was someone chasing them earlier. When the footsteps became louder and louder, exposing in front of them the face of Lucas's sister wearing a bag in her back,
Ashtria takes her hand off the dagger and simply stares at the girl. "Brother," she exclaimed, gasping for air.
Lucas stood up and approached his sister with caution. He snatched the bag from the girl's back and put it on. He looks at his sister and inquires. "Did you bring any food or supplies?" asked Lucas, and the girl nodded with a smile on her face. Ashtria interrupted their conversation, causing the two to look at her.
"Wait, how did you know we were here? Is there some kind of communication between the two of you?" Ashtria questioned, looking at the girl. The young lady simply taps her ear and speaks.
"Oh, yes, miss Ashtria. There was a hidden device in our ears for communication and that only my brother and I know about this place but I don't think it's also a safe place. When I heard someone shouting in our house, I quickly packed what I needed to pack," the girl replied, serious expression on her face.
"Why are you packing in the first place? Do you mean... you and your brother will be going outside as well?" Ashtria asks the girl once more, but before she can respond, Lucas interrupts their conversation as well.
"Stop chatting around, do you want to be caught or not?" Lucas said as he walked up to them, perplexing her.
"Wait!" Ashtria yelled as she dashed towards Lucas. "So you two are going with me?" she asked again as she continued walking. Ashtria then turns to face the girl, who suddenly clasps her arms and speaks.
"We decided to help you, miss Ashtria; if you want to go outside, you can count on us! After all, if we stay here, the soldiers and knights may take and punish us for helping you; it's a win-win situation," the girl replied. Ashtria was still perplexed and turned her gaze to Lucas, who was walking with a blank expression on his face.
Ashtria pondered whether she could truly trust the siblings accompanying her. Her teammates, in particular, will be a hindrance and an impediment to her goal of retaliation for her parents' deaths. She just stares at the ground, thinking. She was thinking that after they had escaped from Triadrial Kingdom, they would now part ways.

88: ASHTRIA VS CALLAN
The two of them were now exhausted trying to gasp some air as they were holding their swords. It seems that Ashtria can be able to catch up with him now causing Callan to grit his teeth in frustration and Ashtria to smirk. "It seems the lady did something that made her stronger or maybe because of eager to save her kidnapped friend?" Callan smirked as he stared at Ashtria. "Think what you want, Callan. This time this lady you are looking to will not run away from you anymore." Ashtria tightened her grip on her sword and started attacking Callan. The lad defended himself from her attacks and was surprised to see how fast Ashtria's movement was. The two just keep on fighting with their swords clanging and causing a spark. They push each other until two of them decide to jump backward. Ashtria began to attack again, sliding her sword to cut Callan's hands but the young lad was able to hold the tip of his sword and tried to take it from her hand but Ashtria

[Wing Side of Underground Laboratory, Secret Lab.] "Don't touch me!" Sanya was shouting and was trying to kick all the men who were holding her hands and feet, taking her to another secret laboratory that only executive members knew. They locked her hands and feet causing her unable to move. One of the scientists, the team leader forcibly held Sanya's face and pinched it. "Your blood is important to us. If we can't take your blood as samples for our experimentation then it is better to make you one of them and tame you to follow our orders." Sanya spit her saliva towards his face and cursed him. "As if you could tame someone like me! I am my brother's sister, and no one would be able to tame me if it was not him! I will only follow his and Ashtria's orders!" The team leader slaps her face causing it to turn red. Sanya glared at them. "Inject it into her body." Sanya started to shout and tried to kick them but her strength alone could

Akeria immediately attacks him however, Lucas still can't be able to see her because of the darkness causing him to have multiple wounds caused by Akeria's sword. He was dropped to the ground, gritting his teeth in frustration. When he senses something is coming towards him, he immediately defends the attack and jumps backward, gasping for air as he looks around, trying to sense Akeria. "What? Are you afraid of being killed? Tell me. Beg to me! Beg to me to save your life!" Akeria shouts as she continues to laugh staring at Lucas.Lucas was focusing on trying to sense Akeria and her attacks. He was thinking about how could Akeria was able to have something ability like an eye that could see right through the darkness. "Are the eyes that were put in her all experimented eyes? Or maybe it is from the monster's eyes?' he thought to himself. 'I needed to end this but how could I do it?' he thought to himself again. His eyes widen when he senses a gust of wind touching his body at his ba

Akeria licked the blood from her hands and gave Lucas another glare causing him to feel heavy because of her glaring eyes. "It seems you also don't know that I am one of the experimented people in the city, Mr. Which means I have abilities that normal humans like you don't have. That is why I am part of the Elite Force you, right?" she speaks as she continues to walk closer to Lucas but Lucas doesn't even bother to move and gives Akeria a stare as well. "Then let me experience a battle with an experimented woman, miss," Lucas smirks causing Akeria to get mad. She changes her sword into a tall stick with sharp metal that could cut a person's body on each end of the stick. Her strength became twice as strong before causing Hero to doubt his skill.'An experimented person? Can I beat her?' he thought to himself as he twisted his sword and prepared himself for the battle. Akeria immediately dashed towards Lucas and bent her left knee, sliding her right legs while twisting the stick tar
