章節 243: Friends

Desmond and Jade returned to a shared room they had rented down the street from the Eroan Embassy with some assistance from Lyrah. According to Jade, Lyrah wanted to help them get closer to Lucius and the others.

Jade explained that she and Lyrah had become close due to them both possessing marks, but no additional abilities to go along with them. This shared experience helped them understand each other.

When Desmond closed the door behind him after they entered the residence, Jade came up to him with a pale face and scared expression.

"Brother…" She whispered.

Desmond's eyes were pulled to a letter in her hand. On the outside of the letter was a single symbol indicating the sender. It was the same as after the Exhibition Tournament: a shattered orb. He gingerly took the letter from her and opened it.
