Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2970

Chapter 2970 Strong Enough (Part 2)

"Only Byt and I." The Shadow Dragon replied. "I had no clue what Pharek looked like or who the people Menadion gave the pieces of her set were. Bytra recognized him from the picture and informed me.

"It happened during the call with Raagu so even though I had muted the amulet while Bytra told me about Pharek and the Ears, I didn't have the time to cool off." She sighed in regret. "After that, we decided to not alert the rest of the Organization to avoid repeating what happened with the Mouth.

"Convincing the Master to also give you the Ears would be hard and he might suspect something."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Solus jumped for joy at the idea of getting her hands back on another piece of her mother's legacy.

The fact that this time it wouldn't fall into the Organization's hand sweetened the deal and eased her worries about Vastor's plans.

'If the Professor makes something bad out of my mom's work, I'd feel responsible. Luckily, Zoreth has no idea we possess the tower and that we just need to touch the artifact, not possess it.' She thought.

'Cynicism 2156 – Naivety 4. You are welcome.' Lith replied, pissing her off big time.

'Since when are we keeping score?'

'Since ever.'

"Don't mention it." Xenagrosh replied. "I know that your grudge with Bytra is not easily settled and none of my business, but please, believe me when I say she's not the person of your past.

"Ever since she learned about Pharek's death, she's been obsessing about how you must feel and how to help you. Also, please make no mention of this conversation to her or she'll kick my ass.

"I was supposed to underplay her involvement in the matter. Some bullshit about doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do and not to get something in exchange." Zoreth shook her head, clearly not sharing Bytra's sentiment one bit.

"Hey!" Solus felt offended at the remark.

"Tell me about it." Lith shook his head as well while pointing at Solus.

"Hey!"

"We'll see you in a while. Say hello to Kami and kiss Elysia for me. Zoreth out."

"Who's we?" Solus pondered as the Shadow Dragon's hologram faded.

"Bytra is probably going to come along as well." Lith shrugged. "Vastor favors the buddy system to make up for the hybrids' lack of Spirit Magic. There's little love and even less trust between his Organization and the Council."

"What about Tezka? He always works alone." Solus' good mood and gratefulness toward the Fourth Ruler of the Flames disappeared like snow under the sun at the idea of meeting her again.

No matter how many good words and deeds Bytra performed, Solus had still nightmares about the Raiju's horn piercing her chest. She could still see the bodies of her fellow apprentices lying in pools of blood all over the tower at night.

"After seeing him fight with Grandma, do you think there's someone who can hurt him?" Lith found the idea preposterous.

"Definitely not." Solus had to admit.
