All the beasts left one after another. The meeting ended as suddenly as it started. Before long, only the red dragon, the two-headed tiger, and the wolf king were still there.

“Dragon, do you think it’s really as simple as it seems?” the tiger asked.

The red dragon shook his head. “I wish it were. We all know what the explosion and the mushroom cloud mean. However, nothing seemed to have happened here. Do you believe it?”

The tiger sighed and seemed to be worried about the dragon. As the leader of the Dusk Soul Forest, the red dragon was under a lot of pressure.

The red dragon smiled but didn’t say anything.

“I’m off, then,” said the tiger before leaving.

Once he was gone, the wolf king narrowed his eyes and said, “You had the perfect chance to get rid of him. Why didn’t you let me do it?”

Yes, the wolf king wanted to make a move just then. He was behind the tiger, who hadn’t paid any attention to him. It was the perfect opportunity!

However, the red dragon only smiled at him, implicitly forbidding him from doing so. The tiger had sensed something was off, so he left in a hurry.

“Even if we did attack him just then, he might not have been caught off guard.

“You know what he’s like. Do you really think he stayed till the end without being vigilant?

“He must have been on his guard. Even if he can’t defeat us, he could easily escape. He can’t die now. I won’t let it happen.

“If he dies, the bat and his creatures will bring chaos. The tiger is a tool to hold them back,” the red dragon explained.

He had said similar things to the wolf king no fewer than ten times, but he still couldn’t remember it. The red dragon didn’t know what to do with the wolf.

The wolf king had always tried to get rid of the tiger. The red dragon wanted to do the same, but he didn’t know how.

The tiger hadn’t given them any excuses, and they needed a double-faced member like the tiger.

“Fine. I’m not smart enough. Since you’re the boss, you figure it out. He’s very ambitious, so be careful.

“If you don’t know where to begin, I don’t think I can help you with anything. Take your time and find a way. I’m off.

“And stop indulging the fire phoenix. You’ve spoiled her!” The wolf king ran off.

The red dragon sighed and smiled shyly in the direction of Phoe before flying away. He knew Phoe was here and could sense in which direction she was hiding, but he couldn’t see her.

It was good news for him.

She must have something to do with what had happened because only she could attract so much attention.

However, by the time they got here, Phoe hid, and the place was returned to its original state. Those beasts came here for nothing.

“Did Lumi do this? Why did it help Phoe? What’s their relationship? If ‘they’ sent Lumi here, it has no reason to help her. This is so strange!” the red dragon murmured to himself on his way back.

He could have asked Phoe directly just then, and she might tell him the truth. But he couldn’t do that.

First of all, there was Lumi. That creature was too mysterious, so the dragon didn’t want to get involved in its affairs. If Lumi chose to protect Phoe, it probably meant well.

Secondly, he might not be alone here. The bat and his creatures might have left behind monitoring devices. If he talked to Phoe now, they would be in trouble.

As a result, the red dragon only smiled and left.

“That dragon knew where I was. This invisible spell doesn’t work. Didn’t you promise no one would find me? What a lie! My cover was blown!” Phoe complained.

She only realized they were in a different spot when she stopped talking. They were at the edge of the forest now.

How did they get there?

She was caught off guard!

“You and that dragon are connected through your bloodlines. Isn’t it normal that he can detect your presence?

“Can you answer my questions now?” Himmel Soan asked.

They had all heard those beasts’ conversation. Himmel Soan and Phoe didn’t miss a single word.

Rustam was still in a trance-like state while Firey couldn’t stop drooling.

Food!

So much food!

“What questions? Ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know!” Phoe didn’t hold back anything.

These people had helped her, and she was in a great mood. It was as if nothing had happened. She even started humming a tune.

“Who’s Lumi?” Himmel Soan asked.

He didn’t ask questions about Gina right away.

Phoe looked like Gina and called herself “Phoe Zimmer,” so she must have something to do with her. They had to have a special relationship.

Himmel Soan decided to work his way up to the most important question.

He would start with casual things and gradually bring up the surname Zimmer. That way, he might get an answer from her. It was a lot of trouble, but Himmel Soan wanted to look into it.

For instance, he was interested in Lumi. Even though he couldn’t feel Lumi’s presence, he knew it was there. Lumi even looked into his eyes when it left.

“Lumi seems to be a senior. I’ve known its name since I was born. It hardly ever attended any meetings. That was only my second time seeing Lumi.

“Nobody knows who Lumi is. We don’t know if it’s special, its gender, or how tall it is. Sometimes I wonder if it really exists,” Phoe complained.

She knew very little of Lumi because it was invisible. No one knew where it came from. It was always there.
