Chapter 207: Kanari

Chapter 207: Kanari



Adam jumped from roof to roof, not using his wings, as those weren't exactly low-key enough to stay unnoticed.

Those wings could cause quite a commotion if anyone were to see them.

After a short while, Adam stopped at the end of another building's roof, and looked around the sleeping city of the Ebonreach.

'I don't know who threw that rock, but thank you!'

This was the first time that he actually believed in a God.

While trying to resist the temptation, he tried praying for perhaps the first time ever, and it looked like his prayers got answered!

"You should stop doing that."

Adam turned around to the voice and saw a tall, like three meters tall, man sitting on top of a chimney, wearing a spiky, delinquent outfit with short, black hair.

It looked like he was a mix of a delinquent and a punk, but he was abnormally tall-three meters was a rarity for humans.

However, because of Highlander's unusual genes, it was possible to have a growth spur that extreme.

"I guess you were the one that threw the rock." Adam said, having to raise his gaze significantly to meet Highlander's eyes. "Who do I have pleasure talking to?"

Simultaneously he was thinking. 'I guess it wasn't God's doing after all.'

"You're a fellow Highlander?" The tall man said. "I recognize that accent anywhere."

"I am," Adam said. "And I guess you got the extreme version of the Highlander gene's."

"My grandfather was four meters tall; I am nothing but a midget compared to him." He said. "You can call me Kanari."

"Alright, Kanari. Why did you throw a rock at my window?" Adam asked.

"You were about to have sex with that woman." Kanari said. "For your and her safety, I had to stop it."

"For our safety, what do you mean?" Adam frowned.

"Ah, listen." Kanari scratched the back of his head. "Just trust me in this one. You don't want her to start crying. I won't report to her what you were about to do, but if you do, I must."

"Her?" Adam frowned. "Why would someone care what I do? I don't appreciate being stalked."

"Honestly, I don't want to follow you around either." Kanari said. "However, I am very loyal to her, and she wanted me to be here."

"Let's make a deal." Adam said. "Leave me alone, and I won't have any sexual relationships. What do you say?"

"Can I trust you, though?" Kanari rubbed his chin.

Kanari watched as he jumped from this roof to another, slowly disappearing from sight.

Kanari jumped off the chimney, and despite his tall body, he managed to cross the roofs like it was nothing.

At that moment, his face started to turn into the face of a horse, then hooves sprouted from his hands and feet, then he went into four legs, white fur slowly covering his entire body.

After the majestic transformation, he'd turned into a beautiful white horse with a flowing mane and powerful muscles.

He was bigger, stronger, and longer than any horse could be.

With a powerful neigh, two white wings sprouted from his back, and he took off into the sky, soaring gracefully towards the clouds.

...

Through the broken window, Adam returned to his room and turned his gaze to his bed.

He immediately wanted to lie down and sleep, exhausted from the day's events.

"Oh, you're back." Knoxx waved his hand from the door and entered the room. "I heard

something happen."

"Oh, Knoxx, yeah." Adam looked at the broken window. "Some kid broke the window. I found

him, and made his parents discipline him properly."

"Oh, I see." Knoxx nodded and then showed a sly smile. "I heard Amelia was here. What were

you two lovebirds doing~"

"Lovebirds, what?" Adam frowned.

"It's obvious that you two are dating." Knoxx said. "You guys aren't?"

"No, we definitely aren't." Adam sat down on his bed.

"Oh." Knoxx scratched his chin. "A few new recruits are crushing on her bad. I told them to give up on it because I thought you two were a thing, but I guess I was wrong." "Yeah, you're wrong." Adam laid on the bed. "I am sorry, but it's been an exhausting day. I

want to sleep."

"Alright." Knoxx pointed at the window. "I was here to tell you that they will fix that broken window tomorrow. Try to survive through the cold wind for tonight, aight?"

Adam nodded, and then Knoxx left, closing the door behind him.

"Mm..." With an inaudible murmur, his eyes closed shut, and he entered the dreamland of

deep sleep.
