Under the scorching midday sun, a carriage powered by mana engines rolled smoothly across an empty field. Inside the carriage, a large man and a young boy sat silently, their eyes closed in meditation.
While meditating, the boy suddenly opened his eyes in annoyance and looked at the man in front of him for a few moments, seeing the man have no reactions, he sighed and said,
"Alright, fine. I'll take care of it."
He pressed a button on the cart that stopped it and got out of the carriage while taking out his sword. He stood alone in the middle of nowhere, standing right beside a stopped cart.
"You guys need to learn how to hide better. It's pathetic to the point I don't even want to bother insulting you."
Xavier shouted these words out loud, and after a few seconds of silence, a few men emerged from the trees and bushes in the surroundings. They slowly approached, surrounding Xavier and the carriage in a circle.
