When Cyclone confirmed Marcina's thoughts and learned about his own extraordinary past, a male voice suddenly came from behind. Before he could even gather his thoughts, the male voice had already spoken.
"Cyclone, brother, why is there always a beauty by your side whenever I see you?" With a hint of sarcasm and a touch of jest, the man walked straight towards Cyclone.
"Man, man...," Cyclone muttered.
On the other side, beside the male voice, another female voice surprisingly chimed in. Cyclone turned around to see Sonja and Daniel.
"Damn!! What are you doing here?!" Cyclone was shocked to encounter the most troublesome presence of his life here. That being said, he hadn't seen this friend since that incident.
Huh? Also since that incident, Cyclone finally met his other wife. However, upon closer inspection, why did Sonja seem different now? Her face was slightly flushed, and she seemed to be avoiding Cyclone's gaze. Since Cyclone was staring straight at Sonja, her avoidance of his gaze became even more obvious.
"What's wrong with you?" Not only Cyclone, but even Daniel noticed.
"N-nothing," Sonja muttered quietly, trying to fix her bangs.
"How come you're here?!" To avoid appearing nervous, Sonja raised her voice.
"Oh? Me? Hahaha..." Cyclone chuckled but remained tight-lipped. Now was not the time for frankness. However, Daniel spoke up, smiling.
"Spy mission for the Water Shrine, huh? Seems like trouble always follows you~"
"..." "Water Shrine's... spy?" Both Marcina and Sonja had puzzled expressions, while Cyclone could only smile wryly. Damn it! How did this guy always see through him?!
Cyclone felt a cold sweat down his back. Whether facing King Kakar or the Water Shrine master, he never felt this difficult to deal with. The reason was simple: those people could still deceive each other through the art of language.
But in front of Daniel, not a word left Cyclone's mouth, as Daniel had already seen through him. Without even stepping onto the stage, the opponent had already won from the audience. "Huh? We're all allies here, no need to be afraid."
What the hell! Is there any way to shut this troublesome guy up?! Clearly, Cyclone couldn't discern Daniel's seriousness from his jests. With a sigh, Daniel, feeling helpless, continued, enjoying the sensation.
"Forget Sonja for now, standing next to you is none other than the renowned Archmage, Miss Marcina." "Oh! My reputation precedes me, does it?" Marcina felt proud at the praise.
"Hmph! That's right, I am the Archmage capable of wielding grand magics! I am 'Marcina,' who even the ancient gods cannot help but laugh at!" "Oh really?" Daniel smirked, and in that moment, Cyclone knew trouble was coming.
"Miss Marcina, may I ask, are you standing on Cyclone's side now?" "Hmm? I'm not sure what you're getting at, but his affairs are mine as well."
"Hmm~ Looks like Cyclone's efficiency in handling matters is still top-notch." "W-what do you mean?" Cyclone was at a loss upon hearing Daniel's words.
"What do I mean? Didn't you accept a mission from the Water Shrine master? Now that Miss Marcina is willing to help you, isn't your job done?" Once again, Daniel's words left Cyclone bewildered.
"Um... could you please explain that more simply?" "Is that so..." This time, even Daniel broke out in a cold sweat.
"It seems you've unknowingly resolved the issue once again..." "I feel like you're praising me~" Cyclone clapped his hands, waiting for Daniel's explanation.
"Miss Marcina is the key figure controlling the Great Dragon. As long as we set the location, regardless of King Kakar's intentions, Miss Marcina will still be the ultimate controller of the Great Dragon." After a moment of silence, Cyclone could only shout one thing.
"What?! Such a coincidence in the world?!"
