"Drug? What do you mean by drug? Is Darling okay?" Maria asked as he panically examine Sky's body.
"Uhm... Don't worry, it wasn't a harmful drug, moreover, it was yesterday." said Chris.
"Heh? Then this lady..."
"And no, you wouldn't want to hurt her, at least not when Blair is around, you are no match with him." said Chris in a casual tone.
"Mr. Blair? What does all this have to do with him?... Hold on! You are saying that Mr. Blair is..."
Maria whispered while doing some funny hand signals that probably no one will understand.
"She is Blair's sister, her name is Leah by the way." said Chris.
Once again, everyone, including the owner was shocked.
"That was the name I was born with, how did you know about that? I never used that name publicly." said the owner, rather surprised.
"Well, that's because I am the one that named you and blessed you when you were a month old." said Chris, sounds a bit like... An old man.
"Ehhh??!!" Sky and Maria exclaimed in surprise.
"I sensed the trace of my blessing magic from her, which is why I am able to recognize her easily." said Chris.
"No no no no... That's not it, how can you blessed her as a baby while Mr. Blair is almost the same age as us?" Sky asked.
"How is it not possible? Her mother is the second wife that Blair's father married at old age." said Chris.
"Heh? Why the hell are you so clear about it? You never told us before." said Sky, a bit blaming Chris.
"Seriously? For the God sake, they even invited us to their wedding but you rejected it saying that your pride will be hurt by an old man's wedding." said Chris, who is on the verge of strangling Sky.
"Ah... That one... Hahaha... Totally forgot about that! If I am not mistaken, they died in a shipwreck a few years after that... Ouch!" said Sky before getting a hard smacking at the back of his head from Chris.
"Chris! Why are you... Ah..."
Just as Sky was about to shout at Chris about that sudden smack, he noticed the troubled face of Leah.
"Ah... Sorry for my insensitivity." said Sky as he glimpsed at Chris hoping him to help him out from the awkwardness.
Chris sighed before turned to Leah.
"I heard a rumor that the shipwreck has something to do with Blair, I wonder is that the real reason why the relationship between you and Blair gets affected?" Chris asked.
"Well... I don't really believe he will do such a thing, but what he had done to the memento of my parents is really suspicious..." said Leah.
"I see. That's understandable. Anyway, they will be happy to help you out with your quest. As for your sibling's issue... Would you want me to communicate with Blair for you?" said Chris.
"No, please don't. I don't want him to know I am here." said Leah.
"I see. It's settled then. They will be helping you to find your lost item tomorrow. We will talk about the rewards after that." said Chris.
"Yes, like Chris said... Hold on! What do you mean by 'they'? How about you?" Sky asked.
"Well, why would you think that Ben will allow me to join you with this arm?" said Chris as he pointed at his metallic arm.
"Ah... Right. Sorry, I totally forgot about that." said Sky, even more awkward than before...

Later. In a building behind the Royal Palace that K and his subordinates lived in. C-760 is giving a tour for Chris.
"Welcome to our forging room, where most of the cold weapon we use is crafted in here, and that is our built-in automated furnace, you can adjust the temperature as you like, and the unique materials in it will enable a balanced temperature. Here is the working table, there is all sort of tools you might need." said C-760 who explained every single structure in the room in detail.
"We have moved your stone here, if you need help to open it or any other help, please let me know." said C-760.
"I see, thank you for your efforts, and please thank Colonel K for me, I never thought he would actually lend me this forging room after knowing I was looking for a place to craft a weapon for the final." said Chris, in a polite tone.
"Sir, you are too polite. Actually, there is some selfishness in our colonel about lending this forging room." said C-760 in a casual tone.
"Heh? How so?" Chris asked.
"He is not very happy about losing to Mr. Blair in the previous match, so he was hoping to see Mr. Blair getting defeated in the final. Which is why I will give you all of my capabilities in order to help you to create the best weapon for the final." said C-760.
"Haha! I see. So K has this hidden side too huh? Oh! By the way, I heard from Ben that he had caught the leader of Royal Guards and sent him to your place, how's everything going on?" Chris asked.
"Yes sir, he is indeed with us right now, for your information, Colonel K is interrogating him right now, which is why he is not here with us, if possible, he really wants to help you out personally for the weapon crafting." said C-760.
"I see... I wonder is it hard to keep that straight face when saying such a funny thing?" said Chris.
"Ah... Haha. It is indeed not easy." said C-760.

Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
