Chapter 78: A Promise made.

—--Bow!

They lowered their heads.

One thing any member of the Red Wings knew was to never underestimate the Goddess, that included looking her in the eye.

"I'm listening—"

Ishtar began to play with her finger.

Clears throats...

"My Goddess, when we tried to recover the man you sent us to abduct, we were met with a slight difficulty during our mission."

Zex was the first to speak, obviously he wanted to make sure the Goddess knew how sorry he was, he couldn't afford to make her even think the slightest bit negative.

"We had already abducted him, all that was left was to bring him to you but then–" he paused, glancing at Scorpion a bit before he continued, "He attacked us, we were barely able to fight back".

—--Ohhhh?

Ishtar seemed amused by what she had just heard.

"Did he now?" She didn't even attempt to hide her smile.

"Y-Yes" Zex nodded like a robot, anything was fine as long as she wasn't angry.

"He wouldn't be who he is if you all were able to take him that easily, he is simply beyond most mortals, if not all."

She turned her gaze to Scorpion.

—-Stareeee...

"That much is clear, but what is this I hear about a member of my own cult refusing to come back... no, perhaps I should say, staying with the man I had specially requested for."

Ishtar's anger had begun to brew up.

...Hmmm.

Scorpion began,

"According to what she told me, she wanted to spy on them and pass on the information she had gathered."

What?!

Zex's expression said it all. Scorpion never told him this, and even still, how on earth was Scorpion able to communicate with her? He was literally being a lazy rat while Zex did most of the heavy lifting.

"She did?" Ishtar asked.

Nod!

"I was fortunate enough to speak to her before she got abducted, the Traveler is strong and she knew we couldn't win. That man is nothing short of awesome, a thousand of us in the army would never stand a chance against him."

Scorpion made sure he didn't hold back on any of the praises.

The look on the rest of the cult members who were listening, was indeed alarming - whatever Scorpion was doing, was a direct stab to their pride

But Scorpion didn't care all that much about them to begin with.

Grin!

He was fully prepared for what's to come.

The hologram hovered in front of him.

'I don't know man, something still doesn't feel right, is the other side doing alright?'

[Yes, I have secured a stable connection, information is going to be sent directly.]

'Perfect, that's why you're the best, Ciel.'

[Your praises are well appreciated.]

Baaam...!

The window behind Ha Joon snapped open, and almost instantly, Sinex flew into the room, landing on his stable with her legs, and her arms stretched to the side.

Her mouth was filled with bread as she turned to face the traveler –

"Goof hmormiing Maturrr!"
