The Demon Kings Cowardly Vessel - Chapter 339
He placed a hand on Juin’s shoulder, and he tried to use his Soul Power to take a look at Juin’s, but the resistance that he felt startled him.
At that moment, he felt a strength that he had never felt on the boy before. When he looked at Juin’s face, he noticed that Juin’s eyes were a lot clearer now. The fear that used to be in his eyes seemed to have been replaced by something: Clarity and Courage.
“What happened in Atlantis?”
Hearing Warlock’s shocked and worried tone, Juin scratched the back of his head sheepishly as he mumbled, “Things… It’s a long story. By the way, this is Cecile… The one I told you about earlier.”
He looked at Cecile and said, “This is Warlock. He’s definitely trustworthy.”
Warlock gave her a quick glance, a nod, and looked back at Juin. “She’s from Atlantis?”
Juin nodded. “We don’t have much time. Presley would have arrived by now as well. Cecile will tell you everything.”
Warlock nodded. He patted Juin’s shoulders and said, “Good job. I’m glad that you have come back safe.”
He then glanced in the direction where Lucifer was floating in and said, “You too, kid.”
He then released Juin’s shoulders and added, “You don’t have much time. The Battle will start in a few days. Come back alive… Remember, always make sure who are your enemies and friends.”
Juin nodded. “Bye, Warlock…”
Warlock nodded, patted Cyrus on the head, and left with Cecile.
Juin and Cyrus quickly headed to the address that Wolfe sent them, and true enough, when they arrived at the traditional ryokan that was also the branch office of the Order, they saw Presley talking to a group of men at the main door. Wolfe and Luca were with him, and Wolfe suddenly looked over in Juin’s direction.
“They are here!”
The moment he saw them, Presley walked over and placed both hands on Juin’s shoulders as he asked worriedly, “Are you alright? Where were you?”
“I…” Juin stuttered, unsure of what to say.
Luca said at this moment, “He probably got lost again. He did have a penchant of walking away from the group.”
“Err…” Juin nodded. “Yeah, Cyrus and I passed by a candy store earlier, and they had so many interesting candies that we had never seen before… I’m sorry.”
President Presley sighed and shook his head. “As long as you kids are safe. Let’s get your guys back now.”
He then looked at Juin sternly. “What you did was very dangerous! But I don’t have time to preach to you now! Consider yourself lucky!”
“Did something happen?” Luca asked upon sensing that Presley was behaving a little out of normal.
“A few members of the Dark Night Clan attacked some of the younger kids from the Order,” Presley said with a sigh. “This happened across the world in the last few days. They were trying to get rid of their competitions.”
Luca scoffed, “Weaklings. Wait till we are at the battle. I will teach them a lesson.”
“Enough,” President Presley said before taking a ring out of his Dimensional Pouch and putting it on his ring finger. “Let’s go home.”
He brought them into a room in the ryokan, and once they were alone, he activated the ring’s ability.
“That’s a Teleportation Ring,” Wolfe whispered to Juin. “President Presley has a few ways to teleport, but most of them can only teleport one person. This ring can teleport a few at the same time, but of course, there’s a catch. The distance per jump is shorter. We may have to do a few jumps, so stay within the circle at all times.”
He then looked at Juin and Cyrus. “The two of you had never used this before, so I will tell you this once. When we are using the Teleportation Ring, we will be teleported to the Order’s branch offices around the world. Don’t be shocked by anything you see or hear along the way, and do not step out of the circle no matter what. Don’t even put your hand out. Otherwise, if your hand got left behind, the Order wouldn’t be responsible for it.”
Juin nodded and quickly pulled Cyrus closer, making sure that the little beast kept his arms tightly against his side instead of moving them around like he was prone to do.
“Ready!” President Presley said, and when everyone nodded, he immediately activated the diagram.
The diagram jumped from city to city, landing in the teleportation rooms that were prepared in the various branch offices. Juin and the boys saw a lot of different rooms and people, but one thing remained the same, everyone acknowledged them when they arrived in the teleportation room. They remained in each room for less than 3 seconds before President Presley activated the diagram over and over again, until they reached a room in his mansion.
“Urgh…” Wolfe frowned when they finally arrived. “My head…”
Cyrus ġrȯȧnėd as well as he fell on the ground, dry-heaving.
“Oh,” President Presley said, “I forgot to mention that for people with beast bloodline, this teleportation technique may have some side effects.”
He then deactivated the ring and placed it back into his Dimensional Pouch before signaling his servants to come in. “Get them something to eat and drink, then call for the Sterling family and let them know that their missing son is back.”
He then looked at Juin and Luca and said, “The two of you should go and meet your masters so that they know you are back safely. After that, rest well. I shall see the two of you tomorrow morning after breakfast in my office.”
“Yes, President Presley,” Juin and Luca said.
The man nodded at them before leaving the room again.
