Chapter 741

“Yeah, too bad that I can’t take tomorrow as a day off. We’re in the middle of a case. Damn if I hate being a responsible adult.” Kamila went into the bathroom, replacing the lingerie with a baggy pajamas.

“That makes the two of us, babe.” Lith said before taking a lonely cold shower.

The following morning, Lith left the Ernas household. Quylla’s Scanner confirmed that his life force was now no different from how it had been before. There were no new cracks and the old ones hadn’t grown any bigger.

Once he was back into his tower, Lith took all the loot he had gained from Kulah out of his pocket dimension, letting Solus prepare their Forge while he called Protector.

“Scourge, what happened to you? I tried to call you multiple times to remind you of your promise. At first, Selia bugged me because she thought you were avoiding us but over time she got so worried about you that she almost forced me to visit your parents and ask them about your whereabouts.” Protector was relieved from hearing Lith’s voice.

As long as the owner of a communication rune was alive, their rune would remain, but not seeing Lith’s amulet active for a month had brought Protector to the point of thinking that he was held captive and unconscious.
