The Princess And The Lord



While scrolling through Maren's information on the tablet, Lory asked Garrof a random question, "You all seem in a hurry, did something happen to Hamilton's grandson?" Thought her eyes were glued to the tablet but her ears were ringing, she wanted to know what was going on that had Lilliane so worried.

Garrof and Lloyd exchanged glances they felt there was nothing wrong with Lory knowing this after all Lory and Zhao Li Xin were likely to be entangled with the Hamilton family so it would be good for them to learn and decide whether to get involved with the family further.

Garrof took a deep breath, he glanced at the pilot's seat was far enough from them, they were also wearing headphones and helmets so Garrof was assured they wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation, but Garrof still did not let his guard down.

He moves his seat upfront then leans his body forward with both hands resting on his knees, Lory also came closer to listen.

Garrof then said in a half-whisper voice "According to Miss Lilliane the S.A.I.N.T. organization is after the shares of the Hamilton family's Ellecant group, they also forced the Hamilton family to return to producing weapons in exchange for the Saintess to help Mr. Hamilton's grandson.

However the request kept getting rejected and now Ethan's situation suddenly became critical because of that Mr. Edmund Hamilton, who is Mr. Ethan Hamilton's father had a big fight with his father Hugo Hamilton. He forced Mr. Hugo to fulfill the request of the S.A.I.N.T organization.

Lory's expression turned heavy "What does that organization want, I think they are a righteous organization, aren't they afraid if Hamilton brings this to the media?" Lory felt the organization was too bold.

"Who will they believe?" Garrof cynically smiles "Without evidence, there will only be the words of the Hamilton family against the words of the S.A.I.N.T. organization, and in the end, who do you think the public will believe? the 'old money' family who gathers envy of many people for years or the Saintess who saves many people's lives?"

Lory click her tongue in annoyance, obviously, Hamilton's position was at a disadvantage here, no one would imagine a great family like Hamilton could be bullied by the S.A.I.N.T. organization, this is so crazy! Lory is afraid of what the organization planned for the Hamilton family therefore she becomes more determined to help them.

"So the plan, to break the curse we might destroy the source, that's why we were sent to hunt the Maren in order to lift the young prince cursed" Lory tilted her head.

Garrof flicked a smile "Yes, and if we fail then Hamilton will have no other choice but to submit to the S.A.I.N.T organization demand." He shows deep concern.

"And that wouldn't be good" Lory mutter.

"No is not..." Garrof sighed his eyes creased with concern.

"What about Lydia, is she still with you, I see you didn't bring Owen and Dan with you this time?" asked Lory.

Garrof shook his head "They weren't cut out for this so I left them in eagle rock city and 'no'. Lydia has returned to Wellington town in Dolza after all the contract only allowed her to help us get Zhyger's Liver nothing more"

Lory narrowed her eyes, "Was the organization that told you where Zhyger was?"

"They are" Garrof confirmed easily then he was curious, "Why, do you feel something fishy?"

Lory pursed her lips and sighed, "No, it's fine, just curious..." Lory straightened her back as she averted her eyes.

Garrof wasn't sure but he didn't ask any further.

Zhao Li Xin's eyes flick at Lory in a second they exchange glances and they gain a tacit understanding that this mission is important. Zhao Li Xin close his eyes as if he was sleeping but the truth is he was meditating to absorb the spiritual energy around him no one knows that the higher they go the purist the energy become which is normal, that's why many cultivators climb the top of the mountain or built tall pagoda so they can absorb the heaven's spirit, or so they say.

Even though it was another method of gathering spiritual energy like the Qi Gathering array that Zhao Li Xin himself created to nurture the Hei Shen members, it was a pity that currently he didn't have the power or tools to create such an array. Luckily this world has an abundance of spiritual energy which makes cultivation easy.

Five hours later they arrived but the helicopter could not land so they had to jump from the helicopter as it flew low. The pilot reminds them that they will arrive at the appointed place in fifteen minutes so Lory changed her jacket to one prepared for very cold weather, she also put on gloves and thick socks after that Lory helped Zhao Li Xin put on a jacket along with gloves and socks as well, even though the cold will not bother her too much especially Zhao Li Xin on contrary he might felt the temperature around him it's very comfortable.

"We can only get this far, you have to jump!" the pilot screamed.

"This is it," Lory seemed unfazed even though they had to jump sixteen feet off the ground.

"What about your husband?" Garrof asked half-shouted because of the howling wind mixed with the sound of the helicopter blades that swallowed their voice.

Suddenly Zhao Li Xin carried Lory then jumped without hesitation.

Garrof and Lloyd looked down and see Zhao Li Xin landing smoothly without making a sound as if his body was flying like a feather. They know that the man from the East is even more mysterious than his wife, who knows what kind of power is stored in him, they can't wait to find out.

"Just look at that," Lloyd eyes flared with excitement.

"Let's Go!" Garrof tapped Lyod on the shoulder then jumped up.

As they all landed safely the helicopter turned and left.

Lory tightened her thick jacket that already prepares by Lilliane, Lory then raised her hoodie to cover her ears from the cold.

The group then climb the mountain for a few minutes until they found a cave hidden by a layer of ice thankfully the layer of ice was not thick so it was easily destroyed by Lloyd's sword soon the ice wall in front of them shattered into pieces they immediately turned on the flashlights embedded in their jackets as soon as the dark cave illuminated with bright light.
