两男一女的双龙挺进

Chapter 105: The One Behind Everything



Nox didn\'t think either of these scenarios was favorable, so he activated [Divine Velocity] and charged toward the egg, which was falling in slow motion. It was just inches from touching the ground, but Nox was much faster and grabbed the egg just before it hit.

However, because he was running at the speed of light and wasn\'t paying attention, the youth slammed into the oak tree, causing the egg to fly out of his arms again.

"Is this egg really hellbent on falling or what?!" Nox was at a loss for words. He was about to make a move again, but someone beat him to it.

Thirteen, seeing that his master seemed to value the egg for some strange reason, leaped into the air, catching the egg and landing gracefully on his feet. The egg was huge, but due to Thirteen\'s strength, he could hold it easily. He handed it to Nox with a mischievous smile, like a kid who had been caught stealing candy.

"Good job!" Nox praised as he placed the egg on the ground. "Though it was your fault in the first place."

He then proceeded to reprimand Thirteen to be careful with the egg because it contained either his future brother or sister. One wrong move and he could have killed them.

Thirteen listened with a serious expression on his face, wondering what his master would do if he found out that this egg was actually Thirteen\'s training partner for the last four years.

Because Fluffington mostly slept here, the panda didn\'t have anyone to train and play with. The egg was his only playmate and companion.

He punched, kicked it like a ball, and even mistakenly dropped it from the top of the tree when he was cuddling it at night.

"Did you understand everything I said?" Nox asked, and the panda nodded with a serious expression.

He vowed never to play rough with his future brother or sister again.

\'The egg seems to be hatching, after four long years. It seems the hatching is the reason for the disturbance in my Taming Space.\'

\'Well, I guess I\'ll leave for now and check on you later.\' Nox kissed the egg and left. He made a mental note to fix the space and make it more conducive for his future pets.

When Nox exited the Taming Space, Thirteen rolled several feet away from the egg.

He wondered what his master\'s reaction would be if he found out that the crack was not a natural phenomenon.

After coming out of the Taming Space, Nox found someone\'s face very close to his—so close that he could feel the person\'s breath on his face.

Pulling his face back a little, Nox realized the person was Brenda, and she had her lips pursed. Earlier, she couldn\'t resist Nox\'s cuteness and decided to give him a peck on the cheek, but unfortunately, he came out of his meditation and pulled back at that moment.

Brenda frowned, but that frown soon turned into an awkward smile, her cheeks turning red when she saw that Nox was awake.

"Great, little bro is finally awake," she stuttered with great difficulty. "I was just about to wake you...well, I guess that isn\'t important now. Anyway, I\'m here because the Guild Master has called for a meeting. Where is Hex? I thought we decided to wait together. Did he get bored already?"

"Another meeting." Nox stood up, feeling a bit dizzy. Sending his subconscious inside his Taming Space seemed to have taken a lot of mana points and reduced his stamina.

"Come, let\'s go!" Brenda dragged Nox out of the control room, and the two soon arrived inside the chambers where the meeting was taking place. Wong, Cormach, Reyes, Adin, Adam, and Hex were all waiting.

Seeing that everyone was present, Reyes nodded his head.

"Alright, I think someone is messing with us," Reyes stated, going straight to the important issues at hand. "Someone is deliberately firing these signals to mislead us."

\'So he finally figured it out too,\' Nox thought. \'I guess there is no need for me to tell them then.\' There had also been a worry in Nox\'s mind—he was concerned that the others wouldn\'t believe him before.

"I had thought about this for a long time, but after Brutus\' question and the blue orb, I confirmed this suspicion." Reyes then looked at Nox. "Do you mind handing the orb over for a minute?"

\'So he noticed.\' Nox had thought no one had noticed when he took the blue orb, as they were so engrossed in discussing their next course of action. But it seemed Reyes was very mindful of his surroundings.

Little did Nox know that the reason the Mavericks Guild had stayed behind was because of this blue orb. Reyes was waiting for the right opportunity to take it.

Because the others were too focused on hunting the Elemental Beast, they\'d failed to pay attention to their surroundings.

"Here, I was just curious, so I picked it up," Nox stated, and the orb appeared in his palm. Finding nothing wrong, Nox tossed the orb to Reyes, who caught it and squinted his eyes. The orb was like an empty shell, but it was still releasing tiny particles of blue energy.

But this wasn\'t what Reyes was looking at. He turned the sphere and looked at it from all angles, seemingly searching for something, but Nox didn\'t know what.

He had also observed the orb, but apart from the remnant energy, nothing seemed wrong with it, which made him frown. Did Reyes have any special method to find out who this orb belonged to?

After what seemed like two minutes, the blue-haired youth\'s eyes lit up. "Found it!"

"Found what?" Nox was puzzled.

Reyes simply smiled. "Not many know this, but these things here are made by alchemists."

Nox\'s eyes narrowed. \'Alchemists? The people who make pills and potions?\'

"And every alchemist leaves their trademark on their product, even though sometimes they\'re carefully hidden. They\'re always there. You just have to pay attention to the product."

Then Reyes paused and showed everyone an X-shaped mark subtly embedded on the orb. "Unfortunately, this alchemist isn\'t that smart, and he even happens to live in this city."

"Brutus and Hex, you two will head downtown and find out information about this alchemist...I\'ve got a strong hunch he\'ll lead us to the one responsible for these signals."
