Lightning Is the Only Way

After spending all his contribution points, Gravis left the exchange hall. Mortis' actual body quickly took the fruits and the token and vanished.

Then, Mortis left Opposer City and searched for a good, isolated location to comprehend his Laws.

As Mortis distracted himself and as Gravis continued earning money, something else of interest concerning Gravis was happening in Opposer City.

"Greetings, I'm searching for my junior brother. He said he was coming to this city to buy something, but he hadn't returned in the last century. Our master has sent me to search for him."

A red-haired man with bulging muscles and very visible chest hair stood in front of an armored guard sitting at a desk.

Both of them were currently inside one of the garrisons in Opposer City.

"Name or title?" the guard asked with practiced ease.

"I'm Broad Walker, and my junior brother's title is Silent Walker," the man answered with a boisterous voice.

The guard transmitted the titles to the archivist, who quickly checked if they had any information on someone called Silent Walker.

The archivist quickly answered with the relevant information.

The guard looked at Broad Walker with a different expression now.

In the guard's eyes, Broad Walker had transformed.

He transformed from a civilian to a customer!

"One hundred years ago, someone going by the title Silent Walker was sent to the mines," the guard said. "Do you have an aura sample we can use to check if this is the person you're searching for?"

Broad Walker's eyes widened in shock. "The mines!?" he shouted. "Why!?"

The other guards in the office looked over at Broad Walker with annoyed eyes. Couldn't that guy see that they were working?

"First, we need to confirm if the new miner going by Silent Walker is the person you're searching for. Aura, please," the guard said.

BANG!

More annoyed gazes were thrown at Broad Walker as he hammered his fist down on the table in outrage.
