Chapter 539 - 532. Defenders Role
As soon as Nyx had enough energy to create another portal out of the Deathzone, Bassena had to bid Zein goodbye.
It would be the first time they separated since they entered the Deathzone, and Bassena did not really take it well, no matter how much Zein spoiled him the night before. Too bad for the Saint Class, but his friend and subordinates--who had been separated from their lovers for more than two years already--were smirking in satisfaction behind him.
And too bad for him; Zein’s separation anxiety seemed to not be activated outside of dangerous situations.
Zein was fine about it though, since it was for a job. He simply gave Bassena a pat on the cheek before stepping into the portal. They arrived at the Mortix headquarters closest to the northern border. From there, he boarded a helicopter with Han Joon and Nyx while Radia returned to Athrea in a jet.
Zein had thought they were going straight to the top of the mountain, but Han Joon stopped the heli on a hill area, before handing the control over to Nyx. Afterward, Zein got to experience going down to the ground with a rope--which was surprisingly exciting.
"Sorry for the not smooth ride," Han Joon said as they went down the hill to hike the mountain where the Saint Class lived. "I don’t have multiple people teleportation."
"It’s fine, I need exercise."
Han Joon glanced at the guide, whose eyes were actually got a bit brighter. He had heard about it, but Zein truly had no difficulty following him through the rough path. From the report Radia had been showing him after the honeymoon, it seemed the other guides under him also had a pretty good constitution.
"I heard about your school," Han Joon smiled. "Seems like the military wants to make a contract with your school?"
Zein paused briefly with an arched brow. "You still keep in touch with them?"
"The soldiers are not all bad," Han Joon answered lightly. Most of them knew nothing of what the higher-ups were scheming, and were only trained to receive orders.
