Chapter 101: The cost of victory
«You’re seriously asking me to wipe out a third of South America...?» Chris asks, clenching his teeth nervously.
Shin gives a subtle nod, and Chris can’t help but let out a strained, awkward chuckle.
«Fine, let’s do it!» Then Shin turns his gaze toward Alexia.
«Of course, to unleash an event that will force cartographers to redraw the entire map of this continent, we need authorization from someone high up... like the deputy director of the most powerful and influential HESPARC division in the world.»
Alexia simply shakes her head.
«It doesn’t look like we have many alternatives. And even if I forbade you, you and that hardheaded brother of mine would still do whatever you want... I just hope that razing the largest green area on the planet will actually achieve something... otherwise, you better prepare a room for me at your place, because I’ll be out of a job!» she mutters.
«Oh, but you know you’re always welcome, my dear Alexia. There will always be a room reserved just for you at my place... the bedroom,» Shin replies with a teasing grin.
Alexia instantly blushes and mutters some curses under her breath.
Meanwhile, Chris spreads his icy-blue wings.
The dark clouds above grow denser and thicker, spreading like an oil slick across the sky.
«It’ll take me a while to gather enough energy to trigger a storm this big... cover me until then!»
Shin points his flaming sword toward the massive roots writhing all around them.
