Chapter 70: Ch68. Cry for help
Miles never knew what Sarissa’s domain looked like on the inside, nut now, more than ever, he needed to talk to her.
She was the only one he knew – even if only by hate at first sight – who could help him.
As he stormed into the Union Guild’s building, guards already posted themselves in a protective manner, assuming their defensive stances, ready for whatever the newcomer would do. But as soon as he stopped, looking lost, and found the makeshift lobby, walking straight in its direction, they lowered their guards.
"I need to talk to Sarissa, it’s urgent." Miles said to the brown-haired girl at the desk.
"I’m sorry," she looked up from her chair, her glasses glinting under the white light in the ceiling above her. "The guild master only receives visits upon proper appointment, Mr-"
"Please!" Miles felt his eyes burning, but forced the tears back with everything he could. "She’s the only one... Who can... Help me."
Even though he needed it, the words felt like sandpaper in his throat.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t hel-"
"Don’t worry Miss Axel." A smooth, smiling voice resounded from behind Miles. "He’s with me. It’s only that he’s a little bit early for our meeting."
Miles turned around to look at the owner of the voice, and there he was. Hinata Shinji, leader of the Sakura Guild, and the one he had talked with Diego about being wary of.
The man looked even more impressive up close, even though his presence felt strange.
