Chapter 232

''Huh she dropped her ring? If I give it back can't I get a reward?'' Bruno's eyes opened slightly. Not to mention the ring's own value, if he returns it such a rich lady will definitely reward him greatly.

With that on his mind, Bruno ran out and picked up the ring. Surprisingly as soon as he touched it he felt a slight increase in the aura he was absorbing.

When he looked down at it he saw a shoddily drawn formation on the diamond at the centre.

''Who made this? Such a crappy formation?'' Bruno mocked slightly, but his eyes reevaluated the item.

Although it was poorly drawn it is definitely worth one or two Spiritual Crystals.

''I'll return the item, she will definitely be thankful.'' Bruno smiled and hurriedly followed after the trio.

But just as he was about to get close he saw a handsome looking boy walk up to the girl.

''Situ, why are you here!'' The cute girls face showed a surprised look as she ran up and hugged the handsome boy.

''I came to see you Lila. My mother said you were out shopping today'' Situ showed a happy smile as he grabbed the girl and lifted her slightly.

''Lila were has the ring I gave you gone?''

Then Bruno saw the handsome boy hold the pink palm of the small girl and look at the faint ring mark.

''Huh it's right on my finger? Wair where is it!'' The girl panicked desperately, tears began welling up in her eyes.

''Don't worry about it Lila.'' Situ appeased the little girl wiping the tears off her eyes.

''But you made it for me yourself.'' The girl didn't stop crying, but hugged Situ sadly.

Just as they were talking a quiet voice came out from behind the two bodyguards.

''Ah miss I think I found your ring!''

Situ and Lila both looked over at the same time, and saw an ordinary boy. But in his hand was a small diamond ring!

''Ah my ring!'' Lila leapt out of Situs arms and grabbed it out of Bruno's stretched hands.

''Thank you so much for finding it!''

Bruno looked at Lilas slightly teary eyes and felt compassionate, he started feeling glad that he picked it up.

But just as he was focused on the girl's face a handsome boy blocked his view.

''Thank you for finding Lilas ring, why don't you let me treat you to a meal?'' Situ flashed a polite smile.

And soon the three of them were sat inside of the top rated restaurant in the area.

''These prices are insane!'' Brunos childish voice rose a few pitches while he looked at the menu.

Every product here costs more than his fathers yearly salary! Some cost thousands of credits!

''Are you sure I can pick anything?'' Bruno gulped while reading the list of foods and then asked Situ.

''Of course!'' Situ smiled. This restaurant belonged to his family and of course they can eat anything.

Meanwhile Situ pointed out a dozen different meals that he knew Lila liked.

''Ah thank you Brother!'' Lila showed a happy smile.

Bruno watched the interaction and gritted his teeth slightly, a strange feeling spreading through his body when he saw Lila being so affectionate to Lila.

But regardless he wasn't going to miss this opportunity, he picked out half of the menu before putting it down.

After ordering Bruno wanted to find some more information about the girl in front of him.

''Lila what do your parents do?'' He spoke casually, thinking that his developed mind of an adult could easily trick the kids.

Out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the two attendants now protecting the door.

''Ah my parents? Uhh my dads always busy ordering people around and my mum takes care of me!'' Lila spoke naively.

''Oh Ordering people around?'' Bruno continued to pry.

''Yep! He works for the SeaLife Organisation. I've heard many people call him elder.'' Lily nodded happily, before poking Situ annoyingly.

But when Bruno heard it he was amazed! Because he knows the Sealife Organisation, everyone does.

This girl is actually the daughter of an Elder! The weakest elder is Rank 3!

''So Bruno what do your parents do?'' Bruno was awakened from his thoughts and looked towards the slightly older Situ.

''Ah, my parents are ordinary office workers.'' He showed a sheepish smile but he couldn't help but think angrily about the boy.

''Damn it, stop interfering.'' Bruno thought.

Just as he was about to continue talking to Lila, the door to the room opened and dozens of people walked in holding trays of delicious food.

Bruno forgot everything else and began eating.

''Wow Bruno how do you eat so much?'' Lila's childish voice popped up as Bruno placed another Chicken wing into his mouth.

''I don't know! I have always been able to eat like this.'' Bruno spoke through bites.

''Here Lila eat this!'' Situ handed Lila a small plate of food and smiled.

''Thank you Situ!'' Lila officially stopped looking at Bruno and focused on Situ.

The meal continued like that .

From the conversations, Bruno had come to a conclusion in his mind.

Lila was clearly from an incredibly strong background, something that he wanted to reach up to desperately. While Situ seemed to have a relatively weaker background.

Situ has been raised to be a leader in the future, and he wasn't so easily tricked into letting his information known.

And Bruno only saw Lily have guards and spoke a lot about the things that her father does.

On the other hand, Situ didn't feel like sharing with an irrelevant person. As for his guards? Of course he has some Dark Guards hidden protecting him.

The only reason he didn't bring the forces that Samuel gave to him as his private army was because he didn't plan on leaving the area around the compound.

So he mistakenly came to the impression that Situ came from an ordinary rich family with at most one or two warriors, but Situ happened to be talented at making formations.

Through the ring, Situ happened to befriend Lila.

''Bah your reaching too high.''

Bruno thought mockingly as he watched Situ chat happily with Lila.

''Bruno, do you want to accompany us?'' Lila smiled and invited Bruno over, they were planning on going shopping again.

''Of course'' Bruno held a confident smirk on his face.

He was confident that with enough time and his Devouring Physique he can out do a meagre rich kid like Situ.

From now on there was a strange 'friendship' between Situ, Lila and Bruno.

Samuel actually promoted his sons pursuing Lila as well. Even if he has a fiance, so what? Lila isn't super talented, only a two inch spiritual root.

And he had long communicated with his father who made it clear he was willing to have his daughter marry into the Dog of War organisation.

In fact there have recently been many communications between the two groups because it definitely won't be long before the Dog of War organisation become Rank D Organisations.

A year had passed since then.

Today, however, there was a change.

A blaring siren ran out across the entire Bluestar.

Every shop went into lockdown, warriors no longer left their compound, all trading ended, all exterior communication stopped.

And the government sent out a stern message to every city.

''The Scourge has started!''
