Lauriel who was standing by the hospital window, staring out into the sky was immediately stunned when his cellphone suddenly buzzed.
Max was calling him. Hmm, already? ... It's only been 20 minutes, isn't it?
"What's the matter?" he quickly asked.
"Uhm ... they are already here. They arrived sooner than expected." Max answered in a doubtful tone. "Alaric Rhionen came complete with his entourage."
"What?? At the Mandalay Building ?!" Lauriel could not believe his own ears.
