As Calla, Reesha, and Sia sped towards Ruan and Liana, they noticed the increasing distance between them and their target.
Ruan, despite his apparent exhaustion, pushed himself to his limits. Liana followed closely, her mind racing with thoughts about Zen Pewlu and her brother's mysterious death.
"I need to know the truth about my brother's death," she whispered to herself, her determination fueling her speed.
Ruan, sensing the closeness of his pursuers, used another talisman to boost his speed momentarily. Although he acted pitiful in front of his spectators, he seemed to have a lot of trump cards up his sleeve, which he would use at just the right time.
Of course, Liana and the enemy Foundation Building Experts didn't notice anything wrong with Ruan's behavior. After all, desperate times force everyone to use all their life-saving treasures.
