As the words rang through the air, Tuji exploded in a shock of black light towards Veron."Grandfather…" Veron trembled as she cried out, her heart full of nothing but fear. She would have never guessed that her most beloved grandfather would dare to strike her like this.At the thought of him being controlled by 'Beka', Veron felt all the more complicated.Whew…In the blink of an eye, Tuji had reached her, his eyes blazing with endless rage and madness. "Bastard child. You fraternized with an outlander, and today you shall suffer for it."As the words rang through the air, Tuji exploded with internal energy as he cast a blow towards Veron's chest.Sensing the power of the blow, Veron's face paled. She could not dodge or hide anywhere, and could only bite her lip and meet the blow with one of her own.The next second, both blows collided as Veron let out a dull hum and was sent flying almost a hundred meters. She landed heavily on the ground, her face paling.She had used up a

Whew!Eira let out a breath at the situation, falling deep into thought. Even the Raksasa boy was saying so… they must be telling the truth."You bastard!"Just then, Tuji's expression grew murderous as he roared at Veron. "How dare you drag the name of your elders through the mud. I'll kill you!"As the words rang through the air, Tuji raised his right hand and brought it down heavily upon Veron's head.Whoosh!Eira hesitated no longer then, charging forward. She raised a hand, blocking Tuji's blow as both her and Tuji let out a dull hum and fell several steps backwards.It was obvious that the collision just now had ended in the draw.Just then, Tuji hurried to hold himself upright. He stared at Eira coldly, unable to hide his shock.Eira was only so young, but so incredibly powerful. If she was as powerful as the wandering world had made her out to be, she was going to be a hard opponent to take down.At the thought, Tuji took a deep breath as he said coldly to Eira, "W

The fortune read clear as day: ill luck.The only thing that gave Darryl the slightest bit of hope was the sign of a faint life-line in the fortune of ill luck. This meant that Chester and the rest were in grave danger, but their lives would not be lost.As long as that was the case.Darryl mumbled to himself at the fortune, preparing to put the tortoise shells away."Hey!"Yet just then, Kimi's voice rang out from behind him.Darryl turned to look, and stopped short at the sight.All that could be seen was Kimi clad in a pale green sports two-piece, radiating an air of youth and energy.All at once, Darryl fell into a slight daze.Kimi flushed as she sensed Darryl's gaze, and could not help but land a kick on him. "What do you think you're staring at? I'll dig your eyes out!""I'm telling you now! If it wasn't for Emily, I'd never let people like you into the Tai Healing Center."Her voice was crisp, laced with disdain.Even now, Kimi was certain of the fact that Darryl wa

Uh…Sensing Kimi's rage, Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry.He was just explaining what he saw on the shells! How was that taking advantage of her?At the thought, Darryl let out a sigh. "I was just reading your fortune, you…" Yet he had barely finished talking before Kimi cut him off."Save it," Kimi said coldly. "You said within an hour, didn't you? Well, if nothing happens in an hour, you're out of the Tai Healing Center. Got it?"As she spoke, Kimi glanced at the time. "And while you're still here, get to work in the herb room."As the final word rang through the air, Kimi strode out into the backyard quickly.Darryl smiled bitterly to himself, following suit.The herb room was a sprawling space around half the size of a basketball court, with rows and rows of wooden shelves holding sealed herbs.Whew! Upon entering the room, Darryl saw a good number of cardboard sheets on the floor. The sheets had been cut into squares, and on each of them was a piece of pytho

Whoa, this old man sure had style.At the thought, Kimi said in a polite tone, "Are… are you looking for my grandfather?" She took in the sight of the Divine Farmer as she spoke, nothing but curious and confused.This old man didn't look familiar at all. How would he know her grandfather?It was important to note that her grandfather had been healing people in the town for decades, and had not really gone out much. How would he know anyone not from here?Grandfather?The Divine Farmer stopped short at the term, before realizing something and letting out a bark of laughter.It had been decades. Of course the young man he had met would be old by now.At the thought, the Divine Farmer flashed a kindly smile as he nodded. "Yes, him!""Grandfather's resting in the backyard now. I'll take you there!" Kimi did not think much, leading the Divine Farmer to the backyard.Just then, Mr. Shurtz was seated on a chair resting in the backyard."Grandfather!"Kimi called out as she walked i
