In the cave within the Belmont Holy Land, Jade's grating giggle still filled and echoed through the space.
"Chenglei." Elder Daiyu's voice lost its usual calmness. "What happened?"
"Grandfather… I –" Chenglei didn't know what to say. He knew that his grandfather only intrusted him carrying out such an important task because he had no choice.
Although the Belmont family only had two celestial experts, one of which was King Belmont, and the other of which was their protector, Head Sicarius, their protection arrays were on a level that couldn't be looked down upon. This was exactly why King Belmont had felt it fit to focus his attention on the world tournament, keeping his eye on the movements of not just the Ragnor, but also the oddities of Planet Nix and Mino.
Luckily for the Daiyu, they had a certain level of assurance that they would succeed. But, it still required putting their lives on the line.
