Chapter 151: The Weeping Town(1) (2/2)

The idiotic hunters that died managed to trip the mechanism. They probably rushed at the gap, as they didn't want anyone to see them.

Jake wrote down his reasoning for his mate to see. He let them understand that while the gap wasn't dangerous, it was still dangerous.

”So what do we do?” asked Archer.

Jake put his index finger on his lips, indicating for Archer to shut up, then he got to work.

In a comfortable movement, he picked a nearby stick and poked the gap made on the inner barrier.

'I just need to re-stabilize it,' thought Jake.

Jake released his lightning element through the stick and softly transmitted it to the gap edge.

After a while, the gap stabilized and didn't seem as threatening as before.

*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*

The sound of two palms clashing against each other was heard. It made Jake wonder who made the sound.

He knew it couldn't be his mates. They had never complimented him. Far from that, they took pleasure in teasing him, which he didn't take offense at.

Hence, Jake turned his head to see the person.

”Jake, it appears you are a natural prodigy of this path,” appreciated Aydin.

Having conversed with Jake hours ago, he behaved free around him.

Aydin was a kind man.

Most array masters never compliment each other, and always view their techniques better than others, but he was different.

He saw no gains in holding onto negative emotions like envy and hate.

This made Jake see a striking resemblance with Aydin and former Nico.

He almost let his curiosity take over him, but he curbed it down as it was the right time for it.

”Oh, is that so? With two of them, we will gain further guarantee,” Heath ran his mouth.

He deliberately reminded them that they viewed each other as competition, despite saying contrasting words.

Taking a deep breath, Eden voiced out, ”What happens after now?”

He could already see the future stained with blood.

It wasn't all bad. At least, they would be fighting for survival, the primal instincts ingrained in all humans.

Each person or team would hold themselves accountable to one another. That was why he didn't recruit another person to his group.

The mission rewards only covered six people, the perfect setup for a bounty team.

”After now. Well, who can tell?” smiled Heath, but a hint of nostalgia coursed through his head.

”Hah! What's with the sad face? We will just be killing one another, nothing more,” laughed Alyssa.

The others wondered maybe perhaps that was Alyssa's way of saying her last greetings.

Not having anything more to say, Eden steeled his face and said to his mates, ”Let's go.”

Since they were the first to get here, they jumped into the gap and met with the world inside.

All the while, Jake thought, 'I am here. What a sad life?!'
