Happiness who was being carried by him on his back was the one who was now on the front though they were staring at the same place, the only difference was that Happiness could turn her head and take a peek at where they were heading to but she didn't do so because of what they were seeing.
"These bastards are very much close to us. Damn them!" The scepters were just a hundred metres away from Jaffery and they were going to catch up within seconds. Panic overtook him and he couldn't even continue to run with the same speed that he used to.
