Tarto went into the bush and dug out the storage ring before returning to Zevien.
"Hehe, I got their storage ring," Tarto snickered as he broke the ring's lock and opened it before taking out the X-Door crystal.
"So this is it, huh?" Zevien curiously looked at the glass container that contained the crystal.
"Let me observe it properly and see what's it about," Tarto said before observing the crystal with focus, his eyes gleaming with a starry-black hue.
*Ding…*
Suddenly someone rang a bell.
"Put it inside and hide it with you," Zevien quickly said in a low voice. Tarto put the container inside the ring and disappeared with it.
Zevien opened the door and saw the manager and two people, a man and a woman, wearing a magic guild enforcer uniform.
"Mr. Alucard. First of all, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience," Martin solemnly said as he bowed.
Zevien nodded before he asked calmly, "did you question them? I want to know why they targeted me."
