Regret

Liam activated his academic token, and it flickered to life. Reye's voice came through from the other side. 

"Yes?"

"It's finished."

"Already?" Reye sounded surprised, his voice raising a pitch.

"I just said it was," Liam said impatiently.

"Alright," Reye said, trying to hide his amazement. "An associate of mine will be there shortly to verify your completion."

Liam spent the time waiting in gathering space-rings and looting the bodies. 

He entered the treasury to make sure everything was there, which it was. 

It was filled with large piles of gold and jewels, glinting under the moonlight, along with some other low level techniques and spells.

Soon enough, a lanky man wearing a black suit arrived at the scene. 

His small eyes could only grow in shock as he saw so many dead bodies laying around. 

The smell of blood was so thick he could taste it, but the young boy in front of him looked expressionless.
