Chapter 2052 Finally meet Her

"Master, isn't she the top half-blood girl? Is she really joining our hall? This is fantastic news," exclaimed Damo, his face lit up with excitement.

Dillion, though slightly more reserved, nodded. "Yes, she's undeniably strong, but she's been having some issues with us recently."

"What! You mean that incident? Well, you can't really judge someone solely by their flaws. I heard she stood up to those bullies," retorted Damo, his enthusiasm unwavering. "Master, we should definitely try to recruit her."

Although Emery maintained a fa?ade of silence, internally, he battled with a storm of emotions, eagerly anticipating the chance to finally meet this mysterious girl. Despite Herorgar's conspicuous avoidance, Emery managed to glean morsels of information about her from Nyx and VIA.

Reports indicated a puzzling anomaly in her records. The girl named Shura was purportedly older and possessed only a legendary rank serpent bloodline, which means a false identity. Nyx had also noted her surprisingly low profile and clandestine activities, once spotted skulking around Utopia City under the cover of night.

While these revelations might have led others to conclude she harbored ill intentions, Herorgar's endorsement, coupled with Emery's own inner turmoil, urged him to consider otherwise. These enigmatic details only served to deepen his intrigue, fueling his desire to unravel the mysteries surrounding her.

Emery was fully on board with Damo's plan to make a favorable impression on her behalf. However, just as he braced himself for their long-awaited encounter, a sudden shout pierced the air.

"It's you!! The little devil!!"

The shout erupted from Kingrig, the Mayan warrior, his imposing figure accompanied by Ha Ron, brandishing his sword with a menacing intent. "You dare to come here,"

Emery could only stand in stunned silence as he witnessed the brewing confrontation between the two warriors and the?serpent girl.

Her response was calm, almost nonchalant.?"Is this how you welcome a guest?" she remarked, her tone tinged with amusement.

"You may choose to fight one of us," Ha Ron demanded.

The girl's response dripped with nonchalance. "I don't feel like fighting today. But if you two insist, don't waste my time. Both of you can come at me simultaneously."

Another awkward silence settled over the room, thick with unspoken tension.

In an attempt to break the ice, Emery ventured, "I've actually visited Ouroboros City before,"

"You... you did?... When?" Shinta's curiosity piqued, her eyes widening with genuine interest.

"Quite a long time ago, actually. I was still in the academy then, just a few years older than you are right now," Emery shared, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia as a smile danced across his lips, hinting at the fondness of his memories.

Shinta began to relax a little, her curiosity now piqued. With a smile of her own, she asked, "Just that time?"

"No, no," Emery replied, shaking his head. "A few times, actually. Once, I even spent quite a while there... Unfortunately, much of the memory seems like a blur right now."

This admission only served to heighten Shinta's curiosity, and she leaned forward, her interest evident in her expression. "Why? Is it not a good memory?"

There was something in her look and her voice that seemed to compel Emery to share. If he didn't know better, Emery would have thought she used some kind of enhancement on him.

Emery paused for a moment, allowing a part of a memory he had long tried to bury to resurface within him. As it played in his mind, recalling the time he spent in Ouroboros, all was flooded with memories of her.

"No... it's a good memory."

Despite the faint smile that played on his lips, there was an unmistakable undercurrent of deep sadness within him.

This revelation seemed to deeply affect Shinta, and Emery added, "Unfortunately... I was unwell. I couldn't remember most of the time I was there," he confessed, his voice tinged with regret as he released a heavy sigh.

As Emery turned back to face the girl, he was taken aback to see a tear trickling down her cheek. The girl was trembling, and her voice quivered as she spoke.

"Is that... why... you don't remember me?"
