Mission [3]

When Damien reached out to grab the mission, he was met with another hand. As it turns out, someone else wanted it as well.

Turning to look at the owner of the hand, Damien was pleasantly surprised. "Who would've thought we'd run into each other like this."

When he thought about it, it actually wasn't so surprising that they would end up in this situation. There were very few missions meant for Core Expansion realm since most that reached this level already made their way to the inner court. 

And even though neither Long Chen nor Damien was at the Core Expansion realm, their combat prowess made it so missions meant for Core Formation realm cultivators wouldn't pressure them the same way.

"Indeed," the black-haired man responded, "it seems fate continues to push us together."
