Chapter 313: The Last Resting Place (1)

"Matthew, wait! I'm sorry, please come back!" Arianell screamed helplessly but the boy chose to ignore her. She was about to get up and run after him when two hands pulled her back. From the left, it was Luan who stopped her, and from the right, Rose was clinging to her with all her strength.

"Those streets at night are dangerous! You can't go if you don't know all the corners as the palm of your hand!" The girl warned her. Deneb was built without any city plan in mind and was like a maze. It was easy to get lost and end up at a criminal's lair.

"What happened to you guys? Where is the rest of the orphanage and the director?" asked Arianell.

"They left shortly after your disappearance. Lord Hebel started neglecting his responsibilities to rule over the city and the criminal took over… Whoever could, would run right away…" Rose explained the situation.

"But what about you two? Why didn't you go with them?" (Arianell)
