Shadow Slave novel Chapter 754

Sunny remained silent for a few moments, then scowled.

"What do you mean, good luck? Aren't you going to be there to mediate the negotiations?"

Master Jet took a sip of her coffee, then shook her head.

"No. While the government often serves as a neutral party and the connective tissue between the Great Clans, this is not one of those cases. Besides… I simply can't. I am being transferred out of the city. This is my last day here, for a while."

He stared at her, dumbfounded.

Master Jet… was not going to be around anymore? Sunny suddenly felt a pang of discomfort. He had grown accustomed to her being present out there somewhere... not exactly close to him, but at the same time within reach.

Noticing the expression on his face, she sighed.

"Actually, that is the second thing I wanted to talk to you about. The bad news."

Soul Reaper casually looked around, then summoned a Memory that looked like a music box. Immediately, a dome of silence appeared around them, cutting off all outside noises. Sunny frowned, confused by the need for secrecy.

She had seemed to be perfectly fine discussing private matters of a great clan in the public. What could have been more sensitive than that?

Master Jet lingered for a moment, then said:

"To be honest, Sunny, I was not going to have this conversation with you… at least not yet. But since the situation changed, and the things we are going to talk about can affect the decisions you will make tomorrow, I decided that there is no point in postponing it."

He shifted uncomfortably.

"That is… very suspenseful. What is the matter?"

She smiled, then activated her communicator and summoned a projection. It showed a map of something that looked like a big chunk of the Dream Realm. Sunny saw a lot of water and several large landmasses, each no smaller than the Forgotten Shore by the looks of it. However, no matter how he looked, he could not find the familiar landmarks — the Hollow Mountains, Bastion, Ravenheart… either he was not as proficient at reading maps as he had thought, or he had never seen this land.

Slightly confused, he glanced at Master Jet and asked:

"Is that a previously unexplored region of the Dream Realm?"

She looked at him with a strange expression, then coughed.

"...No. That is planet Earth, you dummy."

Sunny froze in embarrassment, then looked at the image again.

'Oh… right. I am an idiot.'

Soul Reaper grinned.

"Sunny… are you one of those Awakened that know more about the Dream Realm than about the waking world?"

He cleared his throat.

"Well… it's not like I spent a lot of time in school, you know."

Her grin dimmed a little.

"Right. Sorry. Sometimes I forget how young you are… it took me a while to cover the basics after leaving the outskirts, as well."

Master Jet sighed, then pointed to the map.

She sighed, and then pointed to a continent directly connected to Asia: _{freёwebnovel.com}
