34 Awakening Part 3 (1/2)

”What do you think, My Lord, Svein?” Mia asked as she stood respectfully by his side.

Svein Arnar, is a [Bronze Rank] member of the Bloodline Hunters. His father holds a prestigious position within the organization and with his help, Svein managed to climb the ranks with ease to the chagrin of his older brothers.

He joined the organization when he was only eighteen years old and chose the Kingdom of Edelweiss as his base of operation. That was fifteen years ago. Now, he holds the position and the power to back it up making him one of the rising stars within the Bloodline Hunters.

”Excellent!” Svein clapped his hands in satisfaction. He smiled when he saw the number of captives in their warehouse and confirmed all of them possess rare bloodlines. 'With this I will be able to raise my rank when I return to the Central Empire of Sparta.'

”You managed to handle the operation perfectly Mia,” Svein said. ”What do you want as a reward?”

Mia smiled and bowed her head. ”Thank you for your praises, My Lord. All I ask is for you to give us the child with the Titan's Bloodline.”

Svein chuckled. ”Didn't I say that he already belongs to you as a reward? What I want to know is if you want something else?”

”For now, I am content with what I have, My Lord.”

”Very well. If you want something in the future just tell me.”

”Ah before I forget,” Svein said while glancing at her direction. ”The requirement to awaken the bloodline of those girls…”

Mia raised her head. ”My Lord, the requirement to awaken the bloodline of the Vanari is Love. They are a mythical race that wields the element of water and air. I believe that you, My Lord, can easily make those two girls fall in love in less than a half a year.”

”The race that was born from the love of two deities, or so the legend foretold.” Svein's eyes glowed with excitement. ”I'll make sure that the two of them would be begging for my love soon enough.”

Sounds of hurried footstep approached the two of them and a man wearing black clothing bowed his head to give a report.

”Sir, we have intruders!”

”What?!” Mia exclaimed in surprise. ”How many?!”

”We counted around twenty, but there could be more! All of them are experts and our men might not be able to hold them back for long!”

Mia and Svein looked at each other. They both knew that this was not a coincidence. It was not easy to find their headquarters and there's no way for someone to find them without alerting the sentries. Mia didn't say anything and Svein frowned in contemplation.

'Was I followed?' Svein narrowed his eyes. 'Impossible! The route I took was a secret path of the organization. Who could possibly find this place by accident?'

”Mia, intercept the intruders!” Svein said with a serious expression. ”If you can't handle them, make sure to escape using the hidden pathways. Let's meet up in the town of Veritas.”

”By your command! My Lord, please escape as soon as you can!”
