Canglan City, Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce.
Nami stood by the window and looked down at the city below. She was in a daze.
The old man leaned back in his mechanical wheelchair. He was also looking down through the huge windows.
“There is no need to be so solemn,” said Bartos. “We’ve already prepared for it, haven’t we?”
“How did the plane completely collapse? They didn’t even find the corpse?” Nami turned to look at the old man in the wheelchair.
“The plane did not simply collapse. It fell into the abyss. It sensed the Spider Queen Ada’s aura.”
The collapse of the plane seemed to be Ada’s plan. The God’s Heart inside was most likely the target. With Ada’s appearance, Bartos’ hope had shattered.
Even the Crimson Moon might not be able to face something like that.
He waited for a day and a night, but there was no miracle. As for Su Wan, there was no news from her territory.
“Spider Queen Ada…” Bartos muttered.
The false gods who destroyed the rules of the world would eventually turn into dust. No one could stop fate!
“Nami, all of it was supposed to be my responsibility, but now it must be yours,” said Bartos. He looked conflicted. He felt the drain in his strength.
He slowly closed his eyes.
“Teacher, our mission will be fulfilled!” Nami couldn’t bear to look at him in that state. She turned away and looked at the city below. No one could stop the return of the ancient gods.
“When the sky turns crimson, we’ll usher in a new change. We’re the key to a new era,” said Bartos weakly.
He stretched out his hand with his palm facing up. A light began to shine on it. After a while, the light condensed into a weighing scale.
Bartos didn’t even open his eyes. He caressed the weighing scale. It was his most beloved possession.
“Nami, this is the last treasure I give you. When my soul dissipates, the mark on it will disappear. Use your blood as a guide and your soul as a mark to inscribe your mark on it.”
Nami pursed her lips. Her eyes were red. There were too many things she wanted to say to him, but she couldn’t utter a word.
Words seemed insignificant in the face of death.
The Lord, who was their last hope, didn’t even respond.
The room fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Bartos slowly opened his eyes.
“Being your teacher was an honor, Nami,” said Bartos with a smile. “I’m making you take the reins of the Crimson Moon because of my own selfishness. You could have lived freely in this world, but I have placed such a burden on you.”
“Letting you inherit the Scarlet Moon was my selfish intention. I hope you will blame me. You could have lived freely in this world without having to worry about any trivial matters.”
Nami’s breath caught in her throat. “No, Teacher!” her voice was muffled. She couldn’t stop the tears streaming down her eyes.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.
“President Nami, I have important information to report.” The young female guard was caught off guard to find Nami in such an emotional state.
The president of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was crying…
The guard didn’t dare look Nami in the face. She lowered her head.
“Speak,” said Nami hoarsely.
“President Mestre of the Lavender Business Guild sends a message.”
“Is it Lord Su Wan? Did she say anything?” asked Nami impatiently.
“President Mestre says that Lord Su Wan has retrieved the heart and will be on her way to Canglan City after resting a bit. She is safe in her territory for now. I was also told to inform you that if you’re in a hurry, you can go and find her.”
Nami was at a loss. She didn’t know how to feel at this point. Su Wan had retrieved the heart and she was fine…
“That Lord… and her hero didn’t perish?” Bartos seemed as shocked as Nami at the news. Lord Su Wan had even retrieved the heart!
After the plane collapsed, it fell into the bottomless abyss. It was targeted by the Spider Queen Ada, after all. How had Lord Su Wan retrieved God’s heart from Ada’s grip?
Was this all a joke?
Nami felt overwhelmed. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself. She was overjoyed.
If it was true, her teacher would be fine!
