Whoosh!
A massive Wind Wolf darted out of the forest.
Legolas rode on top Akela as he prompted the Wind Wolf to move even faster. Today was the day that Mr. Keane was predicted to die, he had no intentions of taking any chances, he needed to deliver the antidote as fast as possible.
Immediately after he escaped the encirclement of psychopaths, Legolas did not waste any time as he rode Akela straight back to the Blue Sea prefecture.
According to his estimates, after the commotion that was caused by the battle, most especially the players, the local enforcement forces would be on their way and was why he rode Akela through the main road.
Like he expected, just 5 minutes later, Legolas met a group of warriors moving towards the direction of the hideout.
He stopped. "They are in that direction!"
"Some group of crazy cultists, they almost killed me!"
The warriors tried to stop him but trust him, Legolas did not stop as while still feigning a traumatized expression on his face, he urged Akela to run even faster and in no time, the Wind Wolf disappeared with the dust.
Helpless, the warriors had no choice but to believe the young man as they increased their speed to arrive faster at the location of the commotion.
It took Legolas 8 more minutes before he finally arrived at the Keane mansion. Seeing such a massive Wolf run into the mansion, the guards were startled as the females in the mansion started screaming.
Only one of them did not scream as Sophia's eyes lit up on seeing Legolas.
They communicated through their eyes and without saying a word, Sophia started leading Legolas to the room where her father slept waiting for his death.
Seeing the young mistress escorting the young warrior, the guards refrained from using force as they simply followed them from behind.
Once he entered the room, Legolas rushed to the bed where a middle-aged man who seemed in his 50s laid. Legolas gently held this man on the head before bringing the antidote from his bag.
Without hesitation, he poured the contents down the man's throat.
As he did all this, Sophia observed everything silently as her heart was already throbbing in her throat. After the administration, they waited.
"Ugh…" About a minute later, Mr. Keane groaned, causing Sophia to wince.
"Will he be alright?" Sophia asked as tears rolled down her eyes.
Legolas did not reply her question as all his attention was on the space before him as he patiently waited and hoped for his virtual game interface notification.
The next moment, the sound of running footsteps reverberated. Jackson and Mrs. Keane rushed into the room with anxious expression on their faces.
Jackson was furious. "Sophia, what is the meaning of this? Who is…?"
Amid Jackson's rant, Legolas finally got what he wanted.
-----
[You have completed the hidden mission requirements of the Grade D Mission: Save Mr. Keane's life!]
[You have been rewarded with a Mission Completion Card]
----
"Phew! As expected, there was a hidden mission requirement". Legolas finally heaved a sigh of relief as he wiped his sweat.
"Did it work?" Sophia ignored her elder brother's rant and asked the World expectantly with dread still in her heart.
"Yes, he'll slowly start recovering now".
Sophia heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief as she slumped on the bed, the eyes in which she looked at the World changed.
'Our gathering is really awesome,' She thought.
-----
Your Favorability with The Star has increased by +50
----
On hearing the sensitive word- recovering, Jackson paused including Mrs. Keane as they took a closer look at their husband and father.
The pale deathly look on Mr. Keane's face was no longer there, he still looked pale, but a bit of life finally seemed to return to his face.
Jackson turned to face Legolas, shocked. "Did you…?"
"Yes, I got the antidote, he'll be recovering soon".
Jackson was even more stunned now as he turned to face his younger sister. "Did you…?"
"Yes, she hired me". Legolas answered on Sophia's behalf.
"I'm really tired as I had to stalk the enemies all through the night, I need a place to sleep and rest". Legolas said as his body was already failing him.
"Governor Bam can take care of the rest".
Well, he didn't even need to say it as Mrs. Keane reacted like a woman on steroids. She ordered the maids around and in minutes, Legolas was lying on a king-sized comfy bed thinking of how awesome life was.
Legolas had a lot of things in his mind most especially after the unexpected appearance of the players and the sudden appearance of the Clown Society, but he only focused on the important ones first.
On his special request, all 3 of his beasts were allowed inside this massive room with him and now, Legolas was ready to check Lucky's status.
He glared at the cute still little Fox. "After such a long nap, I hope it was all worth it or else…"
Lucky rolled her eyes uninterestedly. "Whatever".
Legolas gritted his teeth, ignoring the urge to spank the fox and focused on his interface. The next moment, the familiar screen shimmered to life before him.

This was when Legolas finally saw it clearly. "A 2-tailed Moon Fox?!"
Legolas was surprised, he had not heard of a Star Fox before but he definitely knew what a 2-tailed Moon Fox was. His surprise soon turned into excitement as the eyes at which he looked at Lucky now seemed filled with stars.
"The wait was f*cking worth it!"
Having contracted a 2-tailed Moon Fox once in his previous life, Legolas knew a lot about them. These extremely rare Fox could continually evolve 7 times until they become the mythical 9-tailed Fox.
A 9-tailed Fox was a Grade A beast!
Legolas slept feeling satisfied and contented. "What an awesome gift from Lucky, love you girl".
