Chapter 188: [The Source]

A refreshing gust of wind rustled the female's skirts and rompers.

The sun was pleasant, and the skies were a gentle shade of sky blue.

It was a nice day to ride on the back of a colossal mythical creature known as a Gryphon.

One person, in particular, didn't feel that way.

Chief Defense Salkey.

He stared at the two young adults in front of him awkwardly.

The look on his face didn't showcase fear or trepidation.

Instead, he desired to express many emotions that he couldn't.

Resentment, regret, humiliation, annoyance, remorse—his face showcased a plethora of emotions.

However, there was one emotion that held all others back.

Shame.

"Gentlemen." Helix announced after a minute of awkward silence.

Masov and Salkey snapped to attention.

"As you've gathered, we came here with the secondary intention of mocking you mercilessly." Helix chuckled.

The two men gave him wry smiles.
