By the time Sol finally left the Jin family store, it was evening. With no carriage or money, he had to walk for over thirty minutes before reaching the Hail family residence, where he was swarmed by Lucy, Damon, and Cedric.
It's been almost a month since Sol vanished, and even though they got a letter from the academy stating he was on a task with his teacher, they couldn't help but feel worried.
Sol was the type to keep allies around him, not far away. Seeing everyone here reminded him of Lu Jin, and he felt the urge to invite the man over, but he knew that would only lead to his downfall.
In this life, the only person who could have a relationship with the Jin family was the dark lord, so the world was watching and waiting for who would approach them.
The only reason Sol dared to visit the store was its location was secluded and abandoned.
