Chapter 26: Threat To Peace (1/2)

”Got what?” Shun asked in a puzzled tone.

”Nothing. But I wanted to confirm one thing. Aren't Dreadlings actually beasts in essence with a pranic heart, right?”

Shun looked at him and said with a focused gaze, ”Dreadlings, you mean those man-eating monsters? Yeah, obviously, they do have a pranic heart. Why the sudden interest in them?”

”Are there dragon-like beings among them?” Arion asked with a thoughtful light in his eyes.

Shun looked at him with a peculiar gaze but then sighed and said, ”Look at who you are asking.”

Arion facepalmed, ”Ah, right. You are suffering from memory loss. But how do you know about Dreadlings then? Are you sure you have memory loss?”

Shun blinked his eyes and shrugged, ”Of course, I do. I only knew about it because Miss Mei briefed me about them. You have no idea how much of a fast learner I am. Heck, you give me one day, and I can behave like a native of this village, and even you would have been fooled if you didn't know better.”

Arion scoffed and continued to think about this crazy and dangerous idea he had come up with after getting an idea from Shun's words.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt as if his idea was making sense.

He knew he shouldn't think of this idea as it would probably end up with him dead. But he could feel in his heart that he would never be able to connect with Prana again if he kept sitting inside his home just because that was the safest thing to do.

He had enough of running in his previous life, and in this life, he had enough of leeching off another person while feeling helpless in case the other person ever needed help.

If he wanted to gain the power to control his life and be there for Mei, then he had to do something now.

”You know what, Shun? At least for the first time, something useful came out of your mouth, and thank you for that,” Arion said before he steered his wheelchair towards the door.

”Huh? Really? You are welcome!” Shun casually said while popping in another meatball in his mouth. For an injured person, he seemed energetic enough to keep on eating.

Arion was now completely interested in the emergency message Old Zi had for Yuro.

However, as he got outside his home, he was surprised to see a large gathering of adults and youngsters, some even in the same age group as him.

”Arion, what happened? Do you need something?” A middle-aged man who was in between a conversation with Yuro asked.

”Nothing, Uncle Erik. I just wanted to know what's going on. What made you all come together?” Arion asked in a curious tone.
