A Night in Mugwer City

A strong wind was blowing a rooftop's building where Rhys was standing. He was staring at a man who looked like a thug.

The man had tattoos and was smoking while staying in an alley.

"I could use the phone of that thug if I want to anonymously send the information, but if I were to do that tonight, then that black throne Tenel would probably realize that it's me. I don't know what they'll do to me or my family if I help destroy their network. I will talk with Philipp about Argam if he can be trusted. Argam looked like a sincere person. That Harty is smart. They should be able to understand why I can't let the demon know that I gave the information," thought Rhys, then he raised his watch. "Connect me to Philipp."

Philipp's face appeared over the watch. "Hey, what's up?"

"I want to talk with you."

"Where are you?"

"I'm outside the Exonn Park. I'm on top of a building."

"Wait for me there. I also want to breathe fresh air."

A few moments later, they were sitting on the edge of the rooftop as they drank coffee and watched the various lights in the city.

"Heaven's Gate does randomly summon people around the world, but there are forces that have resources that could prepare their younger generation, from knowledge to battle skills. Those top forces are the families.

Argam belongs to the Horn family. Their family is one of the leaders of the Golden Flame. Ms. Valeria is the leader of the organization. I met Argam and even participated in a battle with him. Like Ms. Valeria, that man is battling for the sake of Earth. If you trust my words, you can trust him," said Philipp.

Rhys nodded his head. "Thanks."

"Hahahaha! Where did you go anyway? Your hair and clothes have dust."

Rhys smiled as he rubbed his hair. "I got into a battle."

Philipp looked surprised. "With a demon?"

Rhys nodded his head. "I thought my plan was perfect."

Philipp smiled. "If you keep thinking that way, you will easily lose your life, especially in the front line."

Rhys also smiled. "Yeah, I will be more prepared next time."

"Hey, you want to try some snacks before going back? I also want to bring them home for my wife and the children."

"Sure."

They flew from the building and went to a food street.

There were many beings, both humans and non-humans.

Philipp chuckled as he looked at the elves, dwarfs, magic beasts, and beastmen. "They are working in different parts of the city, so you will not encounter them easily, but every night, they gather here, which gives them a warm feeling. Although they like working on Earth, they still miss their world."

Rhys smiled as he watched the scene, then they went to a noodle stand.

"Bastien, two orders," said Philipp.

"Got it," said Bastien. He was a man with four arms and tan skin. He came from the world of Elron.

"Hahahaha! Hugo, you have a good apprentice," said Philipp as he watched Bastien quickly prepare the food with four arms.

A middle-aged man named Hugo laughed and tapped Bastien's shoulder. "He is the best apprentice I could ever have."

Hugo felt flattered. "Master Hugo, your noodles taste and feel like home. I will never get tired of them."

Hugo laughed loudly.

Rhys and Philipp took out noodles, then they flew together to Exonn Park while holding paper bags.

"We're here," said Philipp when they arrived in a condominium. They were floating near a balcony.

"I thought you fought on the front lines for many years. Don't you have enough credit to buy a house?" asked Rhys.

Philipp smiled. "I do, but my family just got bigger. I have grandsons and granddaughters. What if none of them got lucky to become an exonn? At least my credit is enough to pull in their own family later."

Rhys also smiled. "You are a good father and grandfather. See you later."

Rhys went home and gave the noodles to his family, then sent the information he heard from Felix and Henry to Argam.

Argam and Harty were walking to a plane.

"Hmm?" Argam looked at the boy's name that appeared in his inbox. He opened the projection and read the information, causing him to chuckle.

"What is it?" asked Harty.

"Take a look."

Harty flew to Argam's shoulder. He also chuckled when he read the information. "The kid probably wants you to become a shield, but you could at least do that for him. He did something good for your world anyway."

In the morning, Rhys went to Hansel's shop. Liliana's eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Did you talk with Director Grace?" asked the elf with expectation.

Rhys chuckled. "I heard that she transferred to Mageaf."

The elf looked disappointed.

Hansel laughed as he came out of his workshop. "You should try entering modeling first. There were actresses that started there."

Liliana held her chest as she looked at the dwarf with anger. "Old man! I didn't think you were that kind of dwarf! Hmpf! Pervert! I won't talk with you for one week!"

"How could you do your job if you wont talk with me?"

"Then one day! Winsel, come here! Move away from that old man!"

Winself was on Hansel's shoulder. She looked back and forth at her master and Hansel.

"Winsel!"

The magic beast sighed, then she jumped to Liliana's shoulder.

Rhys chuckled.

Hansel smiled as he looked at the young man."Follow me."

They went inside the workshop, then Rhys suddenly felt something.

Thump! His heart suddenly throbbed.
