บท 1441: Return

Alex and Pearl were led to the edge of the Beast Paradise by the Lion himself. They were brought back to the bright falls where they said their farewell.

"I will try to find what I can," the Lion said. "You two take care of yourself in the meantime. Try not to exceed what you can do. If there was someone else instead of me in the Colony, you might have been dead right now."

Alex nodded. "We'll take extra caution, senior Zhu," he said.

"I won't die, Uncle," Pearl said resolutely.

"Good, I wouldn't want my only nephew to die trying to get revenge on his mother," the Lion said. "Your mother would've never wanted that."

Pearl nodded. "Farewell, Uncle," he said and turned around.

Alex bowed slightly toward the Lion and left. 

Pearl quickly entered Alex's beast space once they were far enough. Even though his fur was of a different color, he hid. Who knew what sort of artifacts the Azure Imperium could have?
