Chapter 521: Who's That?

Less than an hour later, a hooded man left the inn where Jake and his group had temporarily taken up residence. A ray of artificial sunlight surreptitiously illuminated the underside of the man's face, revealing attractive and harmonious features, but mostly deep emotional distress.

This man eloping like a thief from the inn, frequently looking back, was indeed none other than Kyle, the Myrtharian Nerds' playboy.

As Jake and Will had feared, their comrade had not been convinced by their explanation and had decided to take the matter into his own hands rather than let his sister suffer another minute.

Taking a deep breath to give himself courage, he walked with grim determination toward the Bhuzkoc palace, of which Will had told them the location earlier. As he was running straight into the wall, he didn't notice the figure watching him in the shadows at the other end of the street.

"Sigh... You still took the bait in the end, Kyle." Jake muttered with a look of pity in his eyes.
