Bab 140: The Old Friends

Amelia smiled sweetly and approached her long-time childhood friend from across the crowded room.

She and her family weren't living in this neighborhood, but their family had been friends with the Leckerman family for generations, so they were also invited to the birthday party.

Adam loosened his clenched fists and forced a smile as he prepared to greet her.

"How're you doing?" Amelia asked. "We haven't seen since… when?"

"The school reunion a few years back," Adam said.

While it was a few years for Amelia, it had only been a few months for Adam.

They traveled to the Black Sea, the most treacherous sea in the New World, and while Adam didn't want to do it, others convinced him to go there.

The loudest voice was Amelia.

She insisted that it was necessary to ensure the Star Faction's victory, and Adam listened to her as she was the advisor of the guild.
