The Author's POV

Chapter 413

"Huaaam."

Letting out a yawn, I walked away from Han Yufei's apartment.

'I won't accept the offer yet. I want to first understand what kind of person you are. Is that okay with you?'

That was what he said to me. In short, he had neither accepted nor rejected my offer but has instead delayed the answer.

To be honest, that worked well for me as well.

It would take me a while to collect the Gravar style anyways.

I wasn't in a rush.

Lowering my head and staring at my watch, alarm flashed across my eyes.

"Oh crap, I should probably join the others before they get too pissed."

Before I knew it, I had spent almost half an hour talking with Han Yufei.

'If I'm not wrong, Waylan told me before that today was the day that he was going to take care of his family problems.'

This was something that he had been planning ever since coming here. The reason why I knew this was happening was because I helped him out here and there when coming up with the plan.

It took a while for me to convince him that Jasper would definitely exploit Emma's naivety to lure her somewhere unknown, thank god he listened to me.

As I was walking, I suddenly had a thought. 'Right about now, the fight should've already started. If they found out that I knew that this was going to happen and that I deliberately didn't go because I had other stuff to do...'

A cold shiver ran down my spine.

"Yeah, I need to go."

Lowering my head and staring at the map of the place, I quickly picked up the pace.

Booom—!

A powerful energy blast resounded in the air as Micheal attacked Waylan. In order to prevent any 'friendly fire,' the two of them distanced themselves from the others.

Not minding the explosion, Kevin's crouched body was stretched taut while his eyes fixed themselves on one of the hooded figures standing opposite him.

The rank of the individual was , a rank quite a bit higher than his. Next to him were two other individuals, each about rank.

A heavy solemness descended on the field, as the two groups stared off. Judging from the body structure of the hooded figures, Kevin realized that they were all most likely males.

Turning his head slightly, Kevin looked at Emma.

"Emma, since your father said that he already knew they were coming, how come he didn't take into account that the enemy before us is stronger than us?"

The other ranks, fine. However, the ranked individual was not someone that Kevin could beat without suffering heavy injuries. Of course, he wasn't entirely worried about him, but the fact that they had to deal with one rank and two ranks baffled him.

Did he have that much trust in their strength?"

"Ehm."

Listening to Kevin's words, Emma frowned before softly muttering. 'He said that he had already calculated everything perfectly, I didn't know he would make such a mistake too.'

Her voice was soft, but everyone heard it. Instantly, the atmosphere became grimmer.
