Ifrit's arrow came towards the young trainee, closing in at bullet speed. Zamonte instinctively snatched the bow out of thin air and tossed it aside. In the meantime, Marid sprinted to retrieve the emergency button concealed in Watson's pocket. However, Zamonte, equipped with Airtech, was faster. He took flight, snatched the emergency button from Watson, and unleashed a restorative Reiki aura, saving his life. Shaitan moved in to apprehend Liriene, but was forcefully repelled by a blazing fire arrow Zamonte had hurled earlier. The mysterious assassin dressed in black robes had no choice but to momentarily retreat. "I told you no lady would appreciate such behavior." Zamonte's words flow naturally. Having pressed the emergency button, Zamonte awaited the ensuing action. *GUSH!!....* A sudden rush of water burst forth in no time. The safehouse was instantly flooded, with water surging in all directions

Sensing Ravyn's distress, Zamonte reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "Leave this to me. Take Liriene to safety." The weight of his responsibility was evident in his voice. Ravyn felt a tinge of concern, realizing that defeating Ifrit wouldn't be as swift as they had initially hoped. Nevertheless, ensuring the safety of the VIP remained their utmost priority. With a sense of urgency, she swiftly moved away from Zamonte and made her way to Liriene. As they came face-to-face, Ravyn lowered herself, offering her back for Liriene to climb onto, enabling them to move quickly. "We need to hurry." Ravyn urged, aware that she still couldn't employ Airtech. The VIP lady couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical about Ravyn's petite frame and wondered if she would be able to carry her all the way. "I can manage on my own; just show me the way." She ins

At a distant corner of the world... Amidst the bustling city of lights and vibrant colors, the night was ablaze with streetlights and towering buildings. This particular night, however, seemed to shine even brighter, thanks to the flickering flames engulfing the downtown area. A long row of cars was parked haphazardly on all sides of the four intersecting streets, creating a chaotic scene. In the midst of it all, Sekai worked tirelessly, ushering people away from danger and towards safety. Frustration lingered in her voice as she complained about the cause of the ensuing traffic jam. ["Are you intending to harm innocent lives as well? Our mission is solely to rescue the hostages."] Sekai's voice resonated through the earpiece, reaching her partner on the other end of the line. "You've already taken away those eyesores. And those who commit evil deeds must face the consequences." 

In the AB Tower's training and fitness floor... Ravyn honed her physical prowess by engaging in combat with a formidable training android. Donned in weighted limbs, wrists, and ankles, she executed a flurry of kicks, punches, evasive maneuvers, and precise counterattacks with a blend of agility and ferocity. *whoosh* *bam* *swish* *pow*… Amidst the flurry of movements, Ravyn momentarily lost herself in her thoughts. Images of her injured self from past battles flashed before her eyes. Liriene, with her right eye permanently blinded after surviving an assassination attempt. Kanji, blood gushing from his throat in a harrowing encounter. Drew, his body destroyed from within, haunting Ravyn's mind once again. Determined to push past these haunting memories, Ravyn refocused her attention and intensified her counterattacks against the training android. *swish* *bwok* *pow*… 

In a press conference organized to support funding for international cooperation in clean energy projects on a mass scale, the event turned out to be a success. Liriene stood confidently before the gathered audience in the press conference, representing Nethrillia House and radiating a sense of honor and gratitude. She addressed that this event was just the beginning, not only for Qadim but for the entire Aridfrost region. With conviction in her voice, she spoke of a future where every corner of their land would be illuminated. "Today, I stand before you with a profound sense of gratitude. I am deeply indebted to all those who have supported me. I cannot express enough gratitude to the dedicated protectors and the Airburst trainee from the All Star Project. Their patience, bravery, and willingness to risk their lives to save me deserve our heartfelt appreciation. And.." Liriene took a moment to glance at Watson, who still had a cast on his h
