It's been months since the appearance of the mysterious dimension outer region of Cloudless Countries, but there was no trace of the dimension gate being condensed at all.
However, instead of losing interest, more high-level figures who study the dimensions were starting to appear in Violet City.
Meanwhile, those low-ranking dimension divers whose live hood depended on exploring the dimesons started to leave since they didn't want to waste more time on stand-by while burning their money without no good reason.
Since this dimension hadn't been opened even after crossing the limits of a Golden Rank Dimension, they all knew something was not right, and they let the experts from the Magic Union handle it.
But the ten overseer clans didn't leave. Instead, they all bought the entire city from the original family of the city and divided it among themselves. It was far more feasible and convenient this way.
This mysterious dimension was like a treasure trove for them, so they naturally won't leave without any result. The price they paid for this city was nothing but a drop in the ocean-like wealth of the ten overseer clans.
But they didn't close off the city for some reason and let the city resumes its normal functions.
Today, a magic blimp from the Silver Winged Clan appeared in Violet City, which drew those bigwigs' attention, and they sent their spies to investigate what the Silver Winged Clan was up to.
Those nine clans still suspect the Silver Winged Clan to be the one behind the disappearance of the Oath Relic. But they didn't have any solid evidence, and in the middle of their investigation, this mysterious dimension emerged out of nowhere.
In the end, they had no choice but to let that go. Even the Oath Keeper Clan decided to back down and hurried over here, which was actually the trigger for the other clans to follow them.
Grey was lazing around in a lavish room when abruptly, the door of his room blasted open, and he jumped in fright.
"Which bastard dare to infiltrate this Lord's sleeping chambers?!" He roared furiously as a silver light emitted from his hand.
"Very good, little scoundrel, you dared to curse your brother. It seemed you need the usual beating!" An icy imposing voice sneered at this moment while a ghastly aura enveloped the entire room.
Grey's fours expression instantly warped when he heard that familiar voice and turned ashen. He quickly stopped circulating his mana and fell on his knees, and stiffly said, "Big brother, when did you get here? If you had told me, I would've personally welcomed you. As for my offense earlier, it was all but a misunderstanding as I thought someone attacked our base of operation!"
"Hmph! Who dares to attack our family property? Besides, you were not vigilant at all, and if it were some assassin, you would've been raised to a mere corpse!" A tall, handsome man with long silver hair draped over his shoulders walked into the room wearing a black suit.
His gray eyes were extremely sharp, like blades, and his bearing was extraordinary. He was none other than the current Silver Winged Clan Family Head, the eldest son of the legendary Silver Victorious Swordsman, George Victorious, and Hilda's father, Dustin Victorious, also known as Silver Maniac!
'Didn't you just say yourself? No one in their sane mind would dare to attack this place. Only you are this boorish!' Grey bitterly retorted in his mind, but he didn't dare to let those words out of his mouth as long as he didn't want a brutal beating.
"Of course, Big Brother, you are right. I should've slept like you had taught me. But I worked so hard that I was tired…" Grey started to make excuses like he always has.
"Cut your nonsense. This won't save you from our upcoming sparing sections." Dustin coldly cut Grey short as he was well aware of his little happy-go-lucky brother's personality.
His eyes turned deadly sharp at this moment as he coldly asked, "But first, tell me, where is she?"
'So, he's here for little Hilda?' Realization dawned upon Grey, but this only made him sweat since she was not here with him at all.
This was also one of the reasons he didn't want to go back so soon and took his sweet time investigating this place. Although he had accepted the fact that Hilda was now with some mightily expert, he knew the guy in front of him was not going to take it with a grain of salt as he did.
But even he didn't know the exact details of how that happened and why Hilda suddenly believed a complete stranger so much.
Nevertheless, he knew he had to tell her parents as they deserved to know more than anyone else, and it was kind of his fault for leaving her alone that day like this.
"Ahem, Big brother, I want you to be open-minded about this, alright?" Grey stiffly smiled as he started to explain the event that took that place.
But he mixed a lie with the truth. He told Dustin that the person Hilda decided to follow had defeated him with one strike, and he was completely helpless to stop him.
Because if he told Dustin that he didn't even know who the person who took Hilda was, then he'll be in a world of pain, and Dustin won't be just listening with an extremely deadly expression either.
"… in the end, I think it was the right choice little Hilda made. Trust me, that person was so terrifying. I have never seen anyone like that, even my entire life. Even those temple dwellers won't be a match for him.
"He promised to give her freedom to do as she wishes, and she also promised me to return once she learns from him. So, I don't think it was a bad thing at all. Everyone had their own fortuitous opportunities.
"Furthermore, the Oath Relic was also taken by that same person, and I'm only telling you this, and no one else knows this." Grey wryly smiled at the end but was also somewhat afraid that Dustin would cut him into pieces.
But out of his wildest expectation, Dustin sighed ruefully as he said, "Now I understand why Father was summoned to the temple and then come back and command me to look for Hilda's whereabouts. I think we are in trouble!"
