"It has been four months, and it's weird that there's not a single demon rift. Ever since the last raid, we also didn't get any information related to the next demon we are going to face," Aston poured himself a glass of whiskey after he cleared two rifts in a single day. "What about you? Did you get anything?" he looked at Zachary, staring at his watch nervously.
"Nothing," Zachary answered as he sighed with his eyes closed.
"If you're that worried, go and meet her," Aston realized what made Zachary look so nervous. "It's not too late, and you can watch her from the distance," he suggested.
Zachary was nervous because Melissa was meeting with the opposing party to negotiate. He wanted to escort her there since it was dangerous, but Melissa rejected him because she wanted to do it alone. She believed they wouldn't hurt her because she didn't do anything wrong and they had no reason to hurt her.
