Chapter 76: Lance’s Sincerest Smile

Her whisper sounded so loud inside the pyramid, raising her own heart rate. Lance Hua, as the last person who heard about this, gaped his mouth at the information.

"And Grand Elder said that you hold the knowledge to the mystery surrounding the barrier," she added. Her back slumped, she would have lost any motivation if Lance Hua didn't come to get her.

"Tell me, my lord, what is happening. I don't know, I'm at a loss for words . . . There are many people dying and I don't know what to do."

Chiaki's panicked voice scratched Lance Hua's heart. Biles rose in his throat, he wanted to gather Chiaki into his embrace and hid her from the problems of the world.
