Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Located one of them

"You're awake" Alex followed closely behind, "Good to see you back with us, Uncle. You had us all worried."

Shaun looked between the two, his smile widening and the Doctor started what he should do. "Ah, my favorite troublemakers," he teased, his voice still weak but carrying a familiar warmth. "Last time i saw you were 5 years ago right?"

"Yeah, We were more worried about you," Alexa said, her eyes brimming with emotion. "You scared us half to death! "Alex nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Next time, try not to give us all a heart attack, alright?"

Shaun chuckles softly. "I'll try my best. But you know me… I can't stay away from a good fight." His tone was light, but there was an underlying seriousness in his words. He turned his gaze back to Seojun.

"Your mother's been taking good care of me, but I suppose it's time I start acting like a proper uncle, huh?"

"You know each other?" Seojun asked and Shaun laughed "I'm visiting you guys without you knowing, they are just some circumstances that made me unable to help Seoyang."

Seojun nodded and Shaun asked about what happened to the tournament. "The tournament's still going on, and everyone's talking about the mysterious guy who took out that dark opponent."

Seojun leaned closer to his mother, his voice a quiet whisper. "I'll just go out for a bit, Mom."

His mother's eyes filled with concern as she looked at him. "Where are you going? What happened in the tournament is not yet solved, so be careful outside."

Seojun gave her a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine. Just need some fresh air."

She hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "Take Alex with you, hmm?"

Seojun chuckled softly, nodding. "Okay, Mom." He turned and reached for Alex's arm, surprising him as he tugged him toward the door.

"Whoa—Seojun?" Alex stammered, momentarily caught off guard. He looked back at his sister and Uncle Shaun, then followed Seojun out into the hallway. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Once outside, Alex stopped and stared at Seojun, his brow furrowed with curiosity. "What's going on? You dragged me out here like it's an emergency."

As they walked through the bustling streets, Seojun suddenly slowed his pace, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He stopped at a quiet corner, turning to face Alex with a serious expression.

"Hey, Alex," Seojun began, his tone unusually firm. "I need you to take care of Mom for a bit. I've got something to do."

Alex's eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Something to do? What are you planning, Seojun?"

Alex added "Look, don't make Auntie worry." His voice softened, almost pleading. "And don't do anything reckless. You know the video from the Skylands Dungeon is still on the internet and can't take down. You're lucky we able to blurred your face, and they can't recognize you."

Seojun chuckled lightly, trying to ease the tension. "I know, I know. No need to stress, okay?"

Alex wasn't convinced. "I'm serious, man. If anyone connects the dots, it could spell trouble for you—and for us. There's a lot of attention on that incident. People are still trying to figure out who that was."

Seojun nodded. "I'll be careful. Promise."

Despite the reassurance, Alex's worry didn't fade. "You better be. If something happens to you, Auntie won't forgive me."

Seojun gave him a warm smile. "Nothing's going to happen. I'll be back soon, alright?"

Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Fine. But if you get caught up in something crazy again, don't expect me to bail you out." He tried to sound annoyed, but there was an underlying concern in his voice.

Seojun nodded, his smile still in place. "Deal. I'll see you soon."

Seojun walked out of the hospital, his hands casually tucked into his pockets as he made his way toward a quieter part of the city. As he approached a narrow alleyway between two tall buildings.

On the rooftop, Seojun focused intently on his status screen, where he noticed a icon: a map, he tapped on it revealing one of a crystal.

He reached into his inventory and retrieved the crystal, which emanated a soft, enigmatic glow. It was clearly different from the usual items he was accustomed to.

He crushed the crystal in his hand. As it shattered, a burst of light engulfed him, swirling around and intensifying until he was completely obscured.

In a flash, the light dissipated, and Seojun was gone.

Seojun slowly came to consciousness, lying on the ground with a throbbing headache. He sat up, cradling his head in his hands and whispered, "What happened?"

As he looked around, he realized he was in a dense forest, unfamiliar and serene. "Where am I?" he wondered to himself.

Suddenly, something small and cool crawled onto his hand. He grabbed it and saw a silver-scaled snake with green eyes. It looked familiar.

A voice echoed in his mind. "Master! Are you okay?"

Seojun's don't know whose voice it is but He have a friend in this appearance "Silla?"

The snake nodded and slithered up to his shoulder, rubbing its face against Seojun's cheek. "Yes it's me! Are you okay now, Master?"

Seojun was stunned. "Wait a minute, you're talking?"

Silla froze, suddenly panicking. 'Oh no! Dumb Silla! I'm doomed! Father and Huno will probably punish me!'

"Answer me, Silla," Seojun demanded, "How come you can talk?"

"I'm not really talking, Master," Silla explained, its green eyes shining. "But forget about me, Master."

Seojun stared at Silla still trying to process the strange turn of events. "Why you come out?" Find more at m _v _l _e _mpyr.

Before Silla could respond, Seojun's system chimed in with its usual mechanical tone. [Host, Silla was the one who brought you back to your normal state when you lost control in the Skylands Dungeon.]
