Chapter 342 [342] Arrival.
"Are you feeling well?"
Hugo asked Sabrina as they toured the garden of their Estate.
"Yes, much better."
Sabrina had recovered from the Corruption of Darkness and had regained her original beauty, perhaps even surpassing it.
Although Hugo still questioned the origin of the Necklace and Bracelet she wore, Sabrina didn\'t let anyone have them except her, So it was quite hard to investigate.
Hugo and Sabrina stopped and stared at the Huge Tower in the center of the Capitol. A tower that stood firm for decades. Which had faced numerous challengers but none were able to triumph over it.
"Will you be participating in the Convergence?"
Sabrina thought over the question.
In the end, was there a need? She wasn\'t exactly fond of trying to challenge the tower, and neither was she fond of fighting other challengers in the other events.
"Yes. But only in one."
But still, she chose to participate. However, in only one Event.
Hugo had an inkling as to what event, but he hoped for it to not be true.
"May I ask which one?"
"The battle matches."
"..."
Hugo let out a sigh, He was correct.
Sabrina wasn\'t exactly fond of fighting, but…he knew why she was going to participate in that Event.
"You know, Even the monarch and the elder brother have apologized."
"But the one responsible for it had not."
Sigh…
Hugo let out another sigh. Truly, she was a Wellington.
Repay all with blood and gold.
That was the creed of the Wellington family.
"Are you confident enough you can beat him?"
He asked.
And Sabrina replied with confidence.
"I will destroy him."
Hugo felt relieved. Sabrina was not one to take on fights she would not win.
"What about the tower? Do you wish to climb it?"
Sabrina\'s silence threw him off. He thought she was not confident in climbing it.
"The Treasury is open to you, you can ask for an-"
"It\'s alright, I don\'t want to participate in the Tower."
She declared. Why climb the tower?
She knew she didn\'t have a chance in clearing it, and the reward for clearing it was not exactly to her taste.
\'That\'s for him to climb.\'
She gazed at the tower as she grabbed her necklace.
"The Wellington\'s are behind you, do whatever you think is right."
However, Sabrina didn\'t pay attention to her grandfather\'s words.
She felt it, both the contract and the Astral bond informed her.
Alan was here, He was finally in the Capitol.
Both the Contract and Astral Bond reverberated with power, The soul crystal started to pulse out pure mana.
Alan was finally here and was stronger than ever.
*******
"This is good stuff!"
Alan praised the vendor, His kebabs were truly delicious!
"Thank you!"
The vendor thanked Alan for his praise.
"Mister, give me twelve more."
Alan\'s absurd order shocked him a little, but when he looked at the size of his customer, it was somewhat believable. Alan was like a beast.
A 6 foot eight inches tall muscular beast. If someone told him that this man ate humans, it wouldn\'t shock him.
But the Vendor still hesitated. Why wouldn\'t he?
Alan looked like a beggar recently. His hair was a mess and there were scars on his face, and he was wearing a tattered rope.
"Oh."
Alan realized what the problem was when he looked at the Vendor\'s hesitant face. He opened his spatial storage and took out his Twilight Guild card, which would pay for him.
Everyone near the stall stared at him with pure shock. Why wouldn\'t they? Alan just pulled out something from nowhere. Most were thinking he had a spatial ring, his Twilight Guild card further cemented that thought. All high-ranked officials of Twilight possessed one.
"This should pay for it."
Alan scanned the card and paid a large sum of money, money enough for 50 kebabs but still took only 12.
"Thanks!"
And he simply left, while relishing the delicious meat.
Everyone avoided him on the streets, and honestly, he preferred it.
He liked that the cliche of bumping into a big young master of a guild or organization wouldn\'t happen.
He didn\'t know that people weren\'t stupid enough to challenge the Behemoth that was him by just a glance. Alan was also subconsciously exuding a formidable mana pressure, a habit he developed during his time in Terra Damnum.
Besides, everyone wasn\'t an idiot. It was the time of the Academic Convergence, Youngsters of multiple powerful guilds and organizations were gathered here. No one would needlessly start a fight here. Who knows, maybe the beggar could be the son of a Guildmaster. It was hard to decipher it. Awakened had peculiar hobbies.
[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras inquiries if you can sense the mana signature?]
[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha asks you if you enjoy the Atmosphere.]
"Yeah."
Alan answered them both.
Lanesha was like a mother, so he didn\'t have any qualms about her. But Suleras was always serious.
Which was good, but annoying at times.
Whilst Lanesha had asked a light-hearted question. Suleras\' question was more focused on something important.
Alan gazed at the castle in the center of the city, just beside the Tower.
"Yep, I can sense it."
It was faint, but he felt the signature of a dragon. A fire dragon.
[Supreme Dragon of chaos Suleras requests you to go investigate.]
"Nah."
But Alan denied his request.
"It\'s a fire-type dragon or something. Elijah should have felt it and should be planning to do something about it I guess."
[The Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras is speechless.]
[The Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha is laughing joyfully.]
Alan devoured the kebabs he bought.
"I should have gotten more."
He regretted it. His stomach was still empty.
"Well, I can\'t help it now."
He gazed at the tower with a look of determination.
[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha encourages you to do your best!]
It was strange Suleras was quiet, but Alan liked Lanesha\'s encouragement.
"Let\'s see…Where was Twilight stationed once again?"
Although he would have liked to Challenge the tower as soon as possible, he couldn\'t because the Tower was currently inaccessible. He could break through…but that would definitely cause some trouble for Twilight.
So he decided to meet up with Predator first
