Chapter 53: I Got His Back
"Indeed, the matter is a bit tricky," Sabrina sighed and said, "Arcane Eyes’ video screens are fully restricted. Only three people can watch the video screens, and those three are the GAA president, GAA’s most powerful Adventurer, and GAA’s Grand Admiral."
Hearing the end, Lily’s eyes lit up, "Dad, you know the Grand Admiral, right? You said you were friends with him."
"That old man had broken many of my bones when I was in the military," Dagon wryly smiled. "And even more when we worked together in the Labyrinth exploration in the beginning. He is a stickler for the rules, but..."
Dagon looked at Sabrina, who nodded at him and turned to Lily, "Dear, your friend-"
"Boyfriend," Lily corrected her.
Sabrina rolled her eyes, "Yeah, your boyfriend. He didn’t do anything but kill those three, right?"
"Yes."
"However, Jacob and the other two killed him first at the starting area, correct?"
"Yep."
"Then don’t worry about this," Sabrina smiled. "Although they do plan to punish nasty people who go out of their way to harm and sabotage other Adventurers using Arcane Eyes, Almond won’t be on that list."
Dagon nodded and said, "Naturally, that doesn’t mean he will be off the hook. If that old man Rudra is one of the people overlooking the Arcane Eyes, Almond will be called to the headquarters."
Lily frowned, "What will they do to him? Dad, Mom, I am telling you, I am going to live with him in Firefly City once he finishes his speed-hunting in the labyrinth! That’s final. You have to make sure nothing bad happens to him!"
She stood up and said with flames in her eyes, "I want him in my life just like how you two are in each other’s lives. If something happened to him when he is not at fault, then..."
"Then what?" Natalia slowly asked as she gulped.
"Then I am going to get strong enough to topple down whoever that harmed him! I know I’ll be strong enough and catch up to front liners! It’s only a matter of time, humph!"

Dagon and Sabrina weakly smiled. It was shocking to them to see Lily like this, and they could feel that if something bad happened to Almond, Lily would indeed follow up with what she said.
This daughter of theirs could become very stubborn.
"Relax, Lily," Sabrina said as she gently smiled. "Since you like him so much, then we won’t just ignore his plight."
After Lily left, Dagon returned and said, "We need to go to the GAA branch."
"Who’s coming?" Sabrina asked, already guessing the matter.
"Mr. Han and two others. It’s just a normal visit, but I am curious as to why they were here. Were you informed?"
"Nope. It must be a guild-related matter, but since he contacted us, then we’ll find out soon. Let’s go."
"If it’s a guild matter in this city, then it should be only one," Dagon raised his eyebrows. "Wildhunt Guild."
"Yep, that’s why we have to get some information from him. Draven must be going insane with his son missing, and I’m positive he talked to Mr. Han about this if they went to visit his guild."
The two of them left and met up with the GAA members.
Draven’s party invitation was also sent to the Darkwood family, who received it shortly after they finished talking with Mr. Han and his small entourage.
"Draven invited us for lunch in the morning," Dagon’s one eyebrow raised, feeling weird. "What’s going on?"
"He must want to investigate on his own," Sabrina read the invitation. "It seems this is sent to families of all students who went to the Labyrinth."
Looking at Dagon, she said, "Draven is a frontline adventurer...but not a good one. He will try to do anything to get information, even if he has to kill innocents for it."
"That won’t happen anymore," Dagon grunted coldly. "I won’t allow him to be rampant anymore. Times have changed."
...
The sky turned fully dark after a few hours, and before midnight arrived, Wildhunt Guild members started leaving the Labyrinth as the exit portal was about to close.
Draven was waiting with antsy feeling as he couldn’t wait to hear from the guild members who went to investigate about his son.
He personally heard reports from every single person for three hours straight, but he couldn’t get much information.
Over a hundred Adventurers had gone and spawned in all eight starting areas randomly as they only focused on searching, essentially exploring the entire floor during those five hours.
But nobody found Jacob or anything related to him, making Draven mad as he drank himself to sleep drinking a wine made from rare-grade resources.
"Tomorrow....Rufus, I want all the information..."
"I’ll prepare everything. You go sleep now, you need it."
