Chapter 60: A Cartload Of Gifts (2/2)

”And we will follow your lead and catch up to you,” Nena said in a low voice while timidly looking at Arion as Silvi nodded along.

”Yeah, we will do just that and hope that Ina will feel happy for us from the River of Life,” Alv said with a complicated expression.

Arion knew that the River of Life was nothing but a word that symbolized the place where the dead went.

Apparently, after dying, the souls drift through the River of Life before proceeding to their next life.

However, Arion only considered this as a part of people's mythology, just like the ones he heard about in his previous life.

”I will be waiting,” Arion smiled and then asked, ”Where is Bari?”

Alv's smile stifled as he said, ”He was feeling sick and went home early.”

Cayden and the others had complicated expressions as after what happened that day, except Alv, they hadn't tried to talk to Bari since they couldn't bring themselves to.

They remember Ina's face every time they try to go talk to Bari, and Bari also seems to avoid them. So their friendship had become quite tense.

Arion inwardly sighed but didn't mind much since this wasn't his business. He was sure they would sort it out among themselves later.

At least, Cayden and Nena didn't reveal the truth. Otherwise, he had no idea how Rolan, Ina's father, was going to react and if he would do something to Bari.

Meanwhile, Arion saw Shun easily mingling in and acting like a cute boy while winning the favors of the adults.

'That kid sure knows how to act well,' Arion shook his head, wondering who Shun really was. He felt that Shun was hiding something, but there was nothing he could do if Shun was insistent on keeping it to himself.

Soon the gathering ended, and Arion was shocked to see that everyone had helped him arrange the gifts he received into a small trolley, allowing him to easily take them back to his home.

He couldn't help but get a bit excited, wondering if there were any goodies inside these gifts that could benefit him.

Right after reaching home, Arion was eager to open his gifts. However, he kicked Shun to his room when he said that he wanted to check out those gifts as well.

Arion couldn't help but worry that Shun might sneak in some gifts for himself, so he made sure to open them after Shun went back to his room.

Mei also sat down along with Arion to help him open up the gifts, ”Which one do you want to open first?”

Arion looked around and saw a brown case which Silvi's parents had given him and decided to open it since he felt that it might be a good one, ”Hmm, let's open this one.”

Arion slowly opened the brown case, and a glimmering light escaped from the box, reflecting in his eyes.

After getting a good look at what was inside, he saw that it was a small glass vial with shimmering blue liquid.

Mei raised her brows and said with an astonished expression, ”Wow. That is the Vial of Blue Petals!”

Seeing Mei's astonished expression and her happy smile, Arion was even more interested as he asked, ”What does it do?”

Even he could tell that this vial was nothing ordinary but something special.
