41 Chapter 41: Losing the Vest

When Xaviera found out that today was also Caleb’s

birthday, her first reaction was, “What does this have

to do with me?” Her second reaction was, “Should I

also get him a birthday gift? After all, she still relied on

Caleb to taste food.”@

internet cafe.

Meanwhile, Caleb sat on the sofa in his apartment, frowning as he examined the gift Black Tide had sent

him.

A silver cuff and a greeting card.

On the card was written: “Happy Birthday.” The signature appeared to be from Black Tide, the handwriting erratic and flamboyant.

Caleb put the card aside and picked up the silver cuff. Intricate patterns covered its surface, which upon closer inspection, resembled a coiled five–clawed golden dragon. At the dragon’s eye was embedded a secretive and radiant obsidian. The more he looked at it, the more alive the dragon seemed, evoking a sense

of soaring through the clouds and mist.
