Several minutes before Seeker had challenged Meng, A lone Aragarian was slowly headed towards her car. It was the Aragarian Madelyn.
Her car was not more than thirty meters from where she was now. But this distance seemed like miles in her perspective.
Her every step was extremely slow. She would do her best to maintain her balance at every step. And the reason for her slow pace was the remnant sensation she continuously felt. She had an extreme sense of panic and fear had gripped her heart. Her mind continued to recall the terrifying scene when she met Richie.
When Richie appeared and their base was raided by the unknown soldiers, Pridgeon had sent her to immediately request for backup to the nearby Aragarian's based on the outskirts of the city. She would leave the battleground and head to the nearest Pioneer base and use her connections to deploy the military branch loyal to them.
But on her way to her vehicle, she suddenly met Richie.
Just to give you an overview of the whole "Horsemen versus Trumpet" thing...
The book of Revelation tells of 7 Seals. The first four seals awaken the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The last seal of these seven seals opens up seven Trumpet blasts. The last trumpet blast, (Seventh Trumpet), unleashes Seven Bowl judgments.
So what Seeker meant is that he is witnessing a Horsemen of the first four seals clashing with the Seventh Trumpet blast.
Now for a little rant. This is basically "the straw that broke the camel's back" rant and I do not mean to single this one out but will use this recent One-star review complaining that this story is "unreadable" as an example.
I admit. This story is confusing. That’s why when I get comments asking me to clarify or point out when a flashback occurred, I happily changed and added a sentence on those chapters to clarify the change because they are valid.
But some complaining readers who didn't understand the story is frankly attributed to the reader's own lack of... I don't know... intellect?
The one thing that I could be "proud" of is that this story isn't one of those "generic" CN novels where you can basically skip through 50-80% of the words of the chapter and still understand what's going on.
I trust my readers to be intelligent. I don't explain every small detail but leave the rest for you to discern and understand through your imagination, assumption, and deduction.
That's why I don't make Seeker tell a lie, and state in the freakin chapter that ***THIS IS A LIE.***
But alas, there were even readers on the other sites I used to post this story on, who complained because I made Seeker and Charles gay.
Do they even Context? While the other readers enjoyed the chapter and laughed others actually got mad at me for shoving Social justice stuff down their throats.
So this is me "defending" myself from these accusations which are either presented through reviews, comments and personal messages. And honestly, I really don't care to explain myself to them because they would never appreciate this story anyways due to its complex nature. And since I really can't defend myself to these readers who need the story to be dumbed down... I am posting this rant on this premium chapter away from their short-sighted eyes.
P.S Shout out to Alligator who might just surpass me in the future for the power stones vote. I mean I vote almost daily to my own story and you're about to surpass my own votes? Friend, I feel your love. Thanks!
