After setting everything up, Krune contacted his employees back. He had said he would stay out for three days only, but this last excursion took over three months. He was feeling particularly worried about Nina. After all, he wanted to help her with her cultivation after destroying her foundation. However, considering her above average talent that Krune noticed, he believes that as long as she cultivated diligently, she probably improved quite a lot during this time he was out.
Sure enough, everyone was taken aback when Krune's message came in. He had been in Zule's Dimensional Realm before, so he didn't have the signal to contact them. Nina, especially, looked for him everywhere she could. But there was no news about him.
