Chapter 456: Distress Call (1)

By the time Ashton and Anna reached the city, the gold water mercenaries had already disappeared. Kern had to be in a hurry to deliver the staff to whoever was paying him. Ashton felt nothing while selling the artefact to Kern, but now he felt a bit bad for him. 

After all, based on the person he was dealing with, trying to pass off a counterfeit might cost Kern dearly. He might even have to give up on his life altogether. 

'There's no point thinking about things that are out of my control.'

[I'm more than capable of doing it myself.]

'Self-burn, those are rare nowadays.'

[Yeah, yeah, just get off this planet now. I don't like this place one bit.]
