Chapter 55: Shoot the Works!
Miles felt blood rushing to his face. The orb Porsiela gave in exchange to escort her out of the cave was just a useless tool. It was a high-tier orb, but it was a fishing net nonetheless. The heck should I do with this orb? Catch monster fish?
Sorry, I will come back later when I have more funds. Miles said, turning around with shame. He truly felt ashamed.
Wait! The vendor said and asked. You are the Marooner right?
They call me that. Miles said and looked at the guy curiously.
The orb dropped from the vampire, have you used it? The guy asked as he looked at Miles.
I am still using it. Miles corrected him. He did not know what the guy meant, but he would not give such crucial information with a slip of tongue.
Ah, yes. What was the weapon it turned into? He asked.
That is not something I can tell on a whim, now is it? Miles refuted the guy while squinting.
Miles drove it, speeding up to The Lonely Cave. In a few seconds, the car reached the maximum speed with the trees at the side like a blur. Miless mind and reflexes were much better than a normal person's. He could maneuver in a dense forest without any problem, but in case he couldn't, the front of the car could trash the trees standing in his way.
It took only a little more than an hour to reach the cave this time, and Miles entered after he parked the car outside. He looked around and saw no one, so he didnt bother to turn the car to orb form. There was charged electricity inside the car, and it would require another charge to change it again. It would be open for anybody to take it if they were to come, but Miles saw no one close, so he left it as it is. He didnt want to waste the charged electricity on the car.
After he entered the cave, he took out a larger plastic bag and moved to fill it with honey but, wherever he walked, he couldnt find a single drop of the golden nectar. He walked to the end of the cave and found nothing.
No! That bitch Porseila already tricked me. Now she stole my honey!
In a fury of rage, Miles left, going back to his car.
Coin, to the stronghold! He said. He was too mad to drive. How could she steal his honey after he saved her?
Upon arriving at the stronghold, Miles's anger subsided tremendously and had thought more clearly. He realized he acted like Tian Ling and claimed something wasnt his in the first place. Since Porseila, like himself, could enter and collect honey, it was also her right to do so. He let his anger vanish, after which, he returned to his room.
Damn! I could earn big if I were to sell all the honey. If I knew Porseila would take it all, I wouldnt only bring 50 liters of it. It wasnt heavy, but was hard to carry. Miles could only sigh and go home via Dimensional Device so he could take a rest.
Miles had appeared in the train station as he left Portal World when his phone rang. Coins voice reverberated in his ear, Mother is calling.
