165 Meeting (2/2)

”Go!” Raven said yelled which made Elyion scramble in his feet.

Inwardly, the young wolf was extremely confused. He had no idea as to what's about to happen since Raven never really shared his plan and only left hints.

'When I recalled many things in my life? What's that supposed to mean? Why is there a need to for him to act this cautiously? I don't understand at all, but if there's anything that's clear to me, that would be the fact that this person is a friend. He could've ignored me and left without any warnings but he did, so he must looking out for me. Following his instructions shouldn't be a bad idea.'

With this line of thought, Elyion didn't tarry any longer and went towards the walls. Luckily, he was able to leave the city and go back to his home in the wilderness under the reason that he needed to gather supplies to exchange for jadestones.

What he didn't know is that after he left, the council ordered a complete lockdown of the Thorn City. It was under the intention that there might be another shape shifter that managed to infiltrate their security. The council even ordered guards to scour every home to find some suspicious individuals and capture them for trial. If Elyion decided to not leave, he would've been caught as well and who knows what his fate would be?

Meanwhile, moments after Raven entered the observatory, a staff member recognized him and gave him a warm welcome. Raven faked politeness and greeted back, the staff member then called his managers so that they could personally lead Raven in the place where he and Raul would be meeting.

Moments later, a manager came out and became Raven's guide. She gave him a brief tour of the Astral Observatory and introduced a couple of people to him but Raven wasn't interested at all. He would just nod his head in acknowledgement and offer nothing more. The guide also sensed this and she was helpless about it, so she could only give up and lead Raven to what he came here for.

It not like Raven wasn't interested in meeting and being introduced to people, but every single person that he had met so far was nothing but a bunch of dead people, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with any of them right now because it was pointless.

The guide lead him to the highest and grandest room in the Astral Observatory. There were several armed guards who stopped them before the could enter. The guide could only take him there so far and had to back off since she doesn't have enough qualifications to enter.

Also, the guards were only informed about Raven and he alone was the only person that could enter, as guards they have to follow the instructions of their superiors.

As Raven entered, he was momentarily blinded by glimmer of the place. When his vision re-adjusted, he could see a vast trove of wealth displayed around. Gorgeous paintings, plated armors, glimmering weapons, fancy clothing, beautiful sculptures, brilliant jewelries, and more.

A waft of pleasant smell assaulted his nose. It came from the mouth watering dishes displayed on top of long table covered with white silk that had golden hemming. It was a sight that could cause anyone to be tempted.

And if that wasn't enough, soon a bunch of women came out wearing maid outfits…very revealing maid outfits.

It was a sight that could cause any hearts of men to quiver with overwhelming desire. Everything that he had seen so far could make anyone go crazy from desire. Unfortunately, Raven saw many things that are even better that this during his past life. Comparing those to this is akin to night and day. These attempts to make him fall to depravity is a pathetic failure in his eyes and couldn't even bring out any changes in his expression.

It was then that beyond all of this, a silhouette of man emerged.

His body bathe in light. He wore a kind smile that could touch anyone's heart. He was wearing what looks like a robe made out of pure silk that has golden hemming with it. He was also being supported by a golden cane that made his appearance resemble more of that a kind grandfather.

This man was Raul Newdawn, Thorn City's current leader. He opened his mouth and asked:

”Shall we eat, young friend?”
