The Four A stare’ This was especially true of Mika, who looked like her eyes were ready to belch fire The air was positively heavy with her violent intent The i keeper her fro up

“Zeus” The newcomer’s tone was respectful

“Why are you here” Lan Jue’s response was cold, and hostile

With their boss’ arrival, the four women almost unconscious stepped back and took up position behind hiht over a chair for him to sit on Lan Jue thankfully accepted and settled on the chair, while Guoguo produced a small warm hand towel He smiled pleasantly as he wiped his hands Only once this had been finished, did Lan Jue return his attention to his guest

“I’ve come to ask for your help Only you can save the Eent

“Help? I think maybe you’ve made a mistake After what happened e all to coe

Of course, the target of Mika’s rage was none other than the man who inspired Zeus and his a The ninth ranked gravity Adept and second hand man to the Moonfiend Empress looked nervously at the five of them

“Her Majesty had no choice!” He whined “In truth this was her very last resort Her sister has been captured, and she’s been forced to concede to their demands”

Mika opened her er subsided so their last visit was specifically to grab her Forcing Lan Jue to becoet hurt, was all the Empress’ fault, and Mika’s resentment went to the bone

There was nothing in the note asking for help, and it looked like it had been scribbled hastily He looked a little longer before folding the paper and putting it away “You can go,” he said to Gao Yong

The pirate shifted from one foot to the other “What about o,” Mika hissed “Are you deaf?”
