Chapter 63 - 62. Night Star
"First squad, prioritize the guild members’ rescue. Second squad, contain the boss for now," the black-haired esper that seemed to be the Captain gave out orders immediately.
The man didn’t speak loudly, but with the way the soldier carried themselves in full attention, his voice still rang clearly; firm and stern, as if he wouldn’t take any objection.
"Third squad, help secure the perimeter," he gave out the last order, and the soldiers immediately saluted before springing into action.
"Yes, Sir!"
Hand still on the near-erupt esper, Zein watched the black-uniformed espers jump into the gate one by one, as well as spreading out to the surrounding park. Three people came in Zein’s direction—or rather at where the guild members congregated. One of them was a guide, another a healer, and the last one was the owner of the commanding voice.
A tall man, probably slightly taller than Bassena, walked while fixing his gloves. The black monolid eyes stared keenly at Zein. And then, suddenly, the handsome face broke out a subtle smile, before the man turned toward the gate with a sturdy, disciplined gait. He gazed at Zein for the last time before jumping into the ominous red gate with a nonchalant smile.
Without even needing to ask, Zein already had an inkling as to who that man was.
The Captain of Mobius, and Han Shin’s older brother; Han Joon.
It was no wonder Zein felt the name Mobius was familiar. They had talked about the man briefly during the expedition, and how he had a bad relationship with Radia Mallarc. Was that why the man looked at Zein earlier? Because he was from Trinity?
While Zein wondering about the man, the Mobius healer knelt down beside the laid esper and looked curiously at Zein. "Is it okay if I started the healing? Or do you need to finish the guiding first?"
There were some guides who couldn’t be disturbed by anything during the process, including other esper’s intrusive mana. But certainly not Zein. "No, you can start. I’ve finished anyway," he let go of the guide’s neck and stood up.
