With any luck, it would greatly increase his chances of finally being able to find Mila and her uncle again!
Moved by the realization that there is a higher possibility that he will be able to reunite with his girlfriend, Gerald then asked, “.
Gerald's sentence ended prematurely because he realized that Kort was grinning instead of showing his terrified expression a few seconds ago. However, that realization came a second too late because the next thing Gerald knew, there were already two beads on Kort's right hand!
Before anyone could move, Kort threw the two beads at Gerald and Daryl's feet, causing the beads to explode with a deafening sound!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Kort then runs away!
“The old man's bastard is really as cunning as they say! Send people to chase him, Welson! Don't let him escape!” daryl shouted as the subordinates of the Soul Palace immediately obeyed.
“It is useless to do it, sir! Although he was known for his cunning and strength, his greatest skill was his ability to make himself lighter! Even Christopher praised his skill with that skill! No matter the situation, once he escapes, it is very difficult to recapture him because he is very stealthy,” Parker said as he took a step forward while shaking his head.
With an apologetic expression on his face, Gerald added, “It's my fault, grandfather.My thoughts floated for a while as he mentioned Mila and uncle just found out.. Leave it to me, I'll get it back!”.
Although he knew that Gerald regretted his lack of concentration on the enemy, Daryl simply raised his hand before replying, “No, it is better if we do not press the cornered enemy too far… Even if he escapes this time, we'll catch him again sooner or later. If my guess is correct, he should return to Moldell's palace by now. Besides, I'm sure he's well aware that only Christopher can save him now! Until we chase them again, try not to worry too much, Gerald.”
Hearing that, Gerald simply clenched his fists before nodding slightly in defeat.
“Christopher... Kort..” murmured Daryl to himself at this time.
After a short silence, Daryl seemed to remember something, so he added, “Come with me, Gerald. You and the others should come too, Dylan.”
However, Kort is still severely injured from his fight against Gerald. Despite that, he continued to rush back to Moldell's palace in the Yanken, refusing to stop moving his legs until he reached his destination.
Shortly thereafter, the next dawn came, and with a loud 'fail' Kort knelt as he wept bitterly in front of a secluded courtyard inside the Moldell manor located near the back of the mountain.
Holding his breath, Kort then shouted, “I, Kort, are the ungrateful descendants of the Moldell family! I kneel here today to beg my third uncle to meet me! I've got some urgent issues to report to you! ”
With that, Kort bowed deeply, his forehead touching the ground.
Since no one answered even after some time had passed, Kort simply raised his head before pushing his forehead deeper into the ground, making sure to make a louder sound.
Even so, there is still no answer.
After several bends, Kort's head was already bleeding. Understanding that what he did was futile, Kort finally got up before saying, “...See you are reluctant to meet me, uncle.Is that mean I will never be able to avenge my two children, even on a dying bed? With or without your help, I head to the Soul Palace to fight Daryl and his granddaughter with everything I have! At the very least, I will die and protect the honor of our family that has existed for over a thousand years!”
“...Wait a minute.. That name... Did you say Daryl from Soul Palace...?” said an old voice suddenly from within the courtyard.
With wide-eyed eyes, Kort watched the spiderweb-covered door to the room he was prostrating in front of him creak open.
Out came a trembling old man who had snow-white hair and a body made up entirely of skin and bones.
