Mysterious Awakening

While driving along the road, this vehicle seemed almost as intimidating as a military tank. Regular small trucks would be completely outmatched if they were to collide with this behemoth. Now, this armored vehicle, reminiscent of a ferocious creature on the prowl, barreled straight for Miles. A direct hit would be lethal for him, eliminating any need to rush him to medical care.

But in a heart-stopping moment, just as collision seemed inevitable, the armored vehicle veered sharply, causing a thunderous noise as it crashed into the roadside greenbelt and plowed right over it. The momentum came to a screeching halt shortly after.

With a loud ‘Bang!’, the door of the vehicle swung open to reveal a young man dressed in an official uniform. His face wore a serious expression. It was none other than Enlight, the appointed City Head of Spear City.

With a hint of amusement in his voice, Enlight said, “Miles, I must say you’re brave. You stood your ground even when death seemed imminent. Had I not maneuvered at the last moment, history might remember you as the first ghost tamer to be flattened by a vehicle. All in good humor, of course! You’re not offended, are you?”

Without paying any heed to the chaos behind him, Enlight strode confidently towards Miles.

Miles responded with an icy tone, “Wouldn’t have bothered me if you had. I’ve always been known to be broad-minded. In fact, just recently someone commended me for it. Why would a mere attempt on my life upset me? If I were to die, all past conflicts would naturally be put to rest.”

The intense stare Miles gave Enlight spoke of deep-seated resentment. From the time of the Yellow Hill Village episode, when Enlight failed in his attempt to recruit Miles, he had harbored a suspicion that this guy might want him dead.

And this wasn’t just a random suspicion. Miles believed that his very existence jeopardized Enlight’s esteemed position as the City Head.
