ude and Dominant Sky were in the middle of strolling the areas around the Greenwood City when they both suddenly felt the movement of mana in their surroundings


    Both of them raised their heads to see something in the sky


    That something was the wind that gathered at a single point and are moving at a fast speed


    Inside the wind seems to be a person thatnded in front of ude


    “R-Rezen?” ude called out in surprise. He didn’t expect to see Rezen today and especially see him being carried by the winds


    “Young Master, he was carried by the Fairy’s Assistance Scroll. Shadow Dog might have encountered enemies he can’t beat” Dominant Sky said


    Shadow Dog is the guardian of the most talented mage in the younger generation of the Preston Family


    In this case, he should be guarding ude. However, ude’s talent and skills were something that the n had never seen before


    His talent and luck exceeded any other member of the family throughout the history


    A mage already close to reaching the 6th fusion rank when he was just in his early to mid-twenties… that’s a talent that has never been seen before


    If ude manages to break through and reach the next rank, he will be the youngest mage to ever reach the 6th rank


    As such, instead of just being guarded by Shadow Dog, the Preston Family even mobilized a 6th fusion rank mage to always protect him


    Since Dominant Sky is with him, ude ordered Shadow Dog to just guard and protect Rezen in the shadows


    Since ude himself is stronger than Shadow Dog, there is no need for thetter to guard him. It is better for Shadow Dog to guard the much weaker Rezen


    Fairy’s Assistance Scroll is a rare item but Shadow Dog has it in case his abilities would not be enough to protect the person he should be protecting


    Now that Rezen arrived here with the help of the scroll, the most likely thing that happened was them encountering great danger


    “Miss Dominant Sky, please go and check on Shadow Dog!”


    “Young Master, I cannot do that. My job is to protect you”


    “Shadow Dog is in danger! He is the one that needs your protection right now!”


    “I can’t! I can’t leave you alone”


    “If you don’t go then I will”


    The two stared at each other’s eyes, they were in a stalemate


    Dominant Sky doesn’t want to leave ude alone in case he encountered enemies he cannot defeat


    On the other hand, if ude decided to go and save Shadow Dog then his life might be in an even more danger


    This puts Dominant Sky in a dilemma but as soon as she saw ude giving Rezen to her to protect, she knew that she won’t have a choice


    “Then… Young Master, go back inside the city. You would at least be safer there” Dominant Sky gave up and ude nodded his head at her before her body soared in the air to tail the lingering aura from the usage of the scroll


    ——


    Greenwood City


    Hotel


    Inside a hotel room in the city, Rezen can be seen. His eyes were closed as he was still unconscious and in the same room as he were two people


    “My apologies, Young Master” Dominant Sky apologizes since she was unable to bring Shadow Dog back


    She doesn’t even know who the perpetrators were and where they brought Shadow Dog


    Dominant Sky might be a 6th fusion rank mage but even 7th rank mages are not omnipotent much less her


    She can fight and everything but tracking is not something she can do since she’s not a sensory mage


    All her spells were used for battling and not tracking people


    “It’s not your fault. We can only hope that Rezen wakes up soon and tell us what happened” ude said


    Dominant Sky already tried to save Shadow Dog, it wasn’t her fault that someone abducted him


    Since Dominant Sky didn’t see the corpse of Shadow Dog, they can only assume that he is still alive for now


    “Hngg…”


    Suddenly, Rezen stirred from his sleep. His face crumpled ufortably


    He was not really injured or something since he has the habit of always consuming recovery pills and his wounds healed


    It’s just that the winds that carried him were too fast that he lost consciousness before he can even consume a recovery pill


    As such, now that he is slowly starting to wake up, the dizziness affected him again


    “Ughhh” Rezen suddenly sat on the bed while his eyes were still closed. He opened his mouth as if he would vomit but nothing came out to his luck, if not, he would make a mess of himself


    Seeing that, ude grabbed a bottle of water from the hotel room’s fridge and sat next to Rezen


    “Hey, here, drink this” ude said gently as he guided the bottle of water to Rezen that is now half-awake


    Rezen obediently drank the water that helps his mind be more conscious


    When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a handsome face as if it was something that was personally sculpted by the Gods


    A pair of blue eyes were staring at him with concern and Rezen felt giddy inside him


    What the hell? Why is it that as soon as he woke up the first thing he had seen was a drop dread gorgeous man and not a woman?


    He’s not bent, alright?!


    After a while, Rezen recognizes who the ‘drop dread gorgeous man’ was and he sigh


    Turns out that it was just his Brother ude. If it’s him, this kind of reaction should be ‘normal’


    Even a perfectly straight man would be charmed by that face. This is normal… normal, alright?


    Soon, Rezen’s memories before he lose consciousness went back to him and his eyes widened in shock


    “N-no… that Shadow Dog and my subordinates, are they safe?” Rezen asked in a panic


    He doesn’t know who Shadow Dog is aside from the fact that he is from the Preston Family but that man still saved his life


    Lord Keito might be his enemy before but now, that man is his subordinate. Naturally, he would care for him


    As for Zero that was outside the barrier, nothing should be said anymore. Zero is the first ever subordinate that Rezen had. That person has a special ce in his heart!


    “Your subordinates?” ude mumbled. He and Dominant Sky doesn’t know that


    When Dominant Sky arrived at the ce where the scroll was used, only blood and traces of fights were left


    Not a single soul was left on site


    ude exined the situation to Rezen and after that, he hurriedly took his phone to call Zero and Keito but they didn’t answer him


    Rezen tried to call his other subordinates to check if the two returned to the farm but they also weren’t there


    “Rezen, what happened? Who attacked you?” ude asks and Rezen gritted his teeth


    “Twighlight Beast… it’s the Twighlight Beast…” he answered, his tone containing anger


    Rezen is the one that schemed against the Twighlight Beast and in that case he was the one in the wrong


    However, the Twighlight Beast is a terrorist organization that mercilessly killed their fellow humans


    Even if there might be good people inside the organization as long as they don’t stop their colleagues frommitting acts of evil, they are no different


    Not to mention, the organization is filled with criminals and cruel people


    As such, even if Rezen was the one that schemed against them, he doesn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt since they are scums


    However, now that his subordinates were abducted by them and their fate unknown…


    “Twighlight Beast, it’s them again!” ude muttered, his anger for the organization increasing


    “Brother ude, please help me rescue my people!” Rezen pleaded


    “I want to do that too but… we don’t know where they are…”


    If people knew where the headquarters or branches of the Twighlight Beasts are, the mage families and government would already attack them


    Unfortunately, even if a branch were found, others would stay hidden and they could just rebuild another base


    To save Shadow Dog and Rezen’s subordinates, they might need to locate where the branch of Twighlight Beast in the city was


    “Location? Brother ude, are you saying that if we know where they are, you can help me?” Rezen asked hopefully and ude nodded his head


    “One of our people is also abducted by them. Many mage families and the government wants to erase them. As long as we know where they are, we can attack and save our people” ude exined and Rezen nodded his head


    “Brother, wait for me here” Rezen said and he sneakily consumed a recovery pill while walking towards the room’s bathroom


    He went into the sink and locked the basin before opening the faucet to fill it with water


    “Twighlight Beast… get ready to have one of your branches destroyed”
