Chapter 957 Unbefitting To Be Called Home, Quiet Cooperation
"Ahem! Great Warrior, where is the Runaway City you reside in? We've detected spies from the Journeying Jaguar Runaway City and the mysterious Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City, sent to follow us on our pursuit for the Divine artefact."
"We've refrained from engaging in direct confrontations, unsure how to handle them. But due to the recent developments, I've decided to apprehend them and send them to you for interrogation. Perhaps, with their aid, we could unravel more about the two Runaway Cities with their help," Eleanora responded.
After hearing Lakul's words, she had already decided to root out the spies from either of the Grade Two Runaway Cities and use them to gain favour with the mysterious figures. Additionally, she couldn't deny her curiosity about their Runaway City.
Upon hearing Eleanora's decision, Lakul and the leaders behind him displayed deep frowns. They had been trying to anticipate all possible scenarios in pursuing the Divine artefacts and watch whose toes they should avoid stepping on.
However, they hadn't considered keeping guards up for any spies sent by either of the two Runaway Cities.
Lakul's eyes couldn't help but twitch since Eleanora had failed to reveal this information during their meeting.
"Let them be for now. I'll find a way to handle them. Also, I don't reside in a Runaway City. Although it's an intriguing and amazing innovation, such a home is not something I'll be comfortable spending the rest of my life within," Orion responded.
Based on what he had learned and seen about the Runaway City, he preferred to reside in a much more natural environment.
Hearing that he didn't reside in a Runaway City, which was inconceivable to her, Eleanora couldn't hold herself back, unconsciously gulping as she asked, "Is it possible for me to learn about where you reside, Great Warrior?"Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
Even Lakul and the others beside them couldn't help but keep their ears peeled, awaiting his response. The kind of place that could produce warriors with such immense strength was something they all wanted to know about!
"I reside in Paradise. As for its location and what it is, it is not something you are qualified to learn about," Orion responded, his words carrying a weight that stunned the others.
Paradise!
Below, Lakul held their gazes unwaveringly until a burst of bluish, blazing lightning scattered and surrounded them, illuminating their entire vision as if a phenomenon was about to occur before they vanished into thin air with countless streaks of lightning bolts.
With their departure, the pressure that had previously enveloped them vanished, and the environment settled into a frightening stillness.
"Go and ensure the 1st Unit is okay and they receive the most adequate treatment. Even in their dire moment, they did not disappoint us, so treat them with respect," Eleanora said, her voice breaking through the stillness as she looked at the captain of the 2nd Unit of the Vanguard team and a few of his members behind him.
Despite feeling bitter about the shameful situation the 1st Unit had been dragged into, Eleanora knew she had to treat them properly because they had sealed their lips shut in the face of such a terrifying enemy to protect their secrets from outsiders.
The 2nd Unit nodded and swiftly headed in their direction.
"Former Queen Eleanora, we will see more of each other. I believe it's best to strengthen our ties for the proper development of our new leader's rule," Lakul said solemnly, stretching his hand forward as he looked at Eleanora, wary of the five warriors standing guard and watching them.
Eleanora grabbed his hand and shook it firmly. "Of course," she responded.
Whether the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City would eventually fall back into her hands depended on how events unfolded.
With a final, lingering gaze, they parted ways, each returning to their respective Runaway Cities under the watchful gaze of the five Vylkr warriors.

"I never expected all of this to occur just hours after you left," Queen Selene said, shaking her head in disbelief.
