Chapter 121: Hidden Hatred
Jonathan seemed indifferent toward Silva, even though he still remembered she was once his college friend. But his overwhelming strength made him come off as arrogant and cold.
He only spoke when needed, responded when it was worth it, and stayed silent when dealing with people he didn’t consider important.
"Let’s return."
Jonathan flew off powerfully with his ability, followed by the other Celestial Vanguard members, including Silva.
Since every team member had already reached stage five, they were given the chance to train in gravity manipulation.
Thanks to their impressive talent, they picked it up fast. Within just a few months, they were flying even better than birds.
The southern border was part of the Kingdom of Eraldorn. But ever since the Grand Empire gained full control over the four kingdoms, the Celestial Vanguard could move freely in and out of any kingdom’s territory.
The Celestial Vanguard team had become idols to many—not just in the Grand Empire but across all four great kingdoms. They were worshipped like heroes.
Six streaks of golden magic light stretched across the kingdom sky. People paused what they were doing and looked up, offering prayers as the Celestial Vanguard flew overhead.
Jonathan, as team leader, greeted them with a smile.
One thing Silva had learned about Joe after she joined the Lancer Hall: the guy lived for respect and praise.
Silva glanced sideways at Nolan and Quillen. They returned her look with meaningful stares. Whether they were confused, annoyed, or just plain disgusted by Joe’s attitude—it was hard to tell.
