Chapter 240: Celestial ( Part 1 )

Wallace immediately returned to the surface after confirming that he has safely stored the machine. 

He didn't even bother to check with Veda whether it was the real thing and only trusted his hunch since he had a bad feeling about staying longer on that cramped and dark place.

Yumi asked seeing Wallace was breathing heavily. He wasn't even gone for long. 

"I'm good. We have to leave this place..."
