Chapter 36: Emergency Meeting
PANG!
A spark burst out, Bob’s sword had clashed against Kiwi’s staff, the blade halted just inches from Kiwi’s head. Kiwi’s eyes widened in shock. I stood frozen, stunned. Around us, the townspeople began to panic, murmuring nervously as the tension spiked.
Damn it, man.
I rushed over and grabbed Bob, yanking him back.
"What are you doing, moron?!" I shouted.
"What am I doing?!" Bob snapped. "This guy is from Black Eagle! This monster attack, it’s gotta be a revenge plot by them!"
"You’re wrong," I said firmly. "He’s not with them anymore. He’s the one who saved me when I couldn’t use my powers."
Kiwi lowered his staff slowly, his expression calm but serious. "Alan is telling the truth," he said. "And even if the Black Eagle wanted revenge, they don’t have the power to pull off something like this. This... is way beyond them."
Bob looked at Kiwi, then shifted his gaze to me, silently asking for confirmation. I gave a firm nod.
He exhaled sharply and lowered his sword.
"Then why are you here?" Bob asked, his eyes still wary.
