Three months passed and on the other side of The Bitter Terrain Exoplanet, a boat was currently spouting down the river, and the youth was reclining on a chair and watching the scenery that the boat passed by as he heated some skewers made from snakes he caught recently on the brazier above the boat.
From time to time, he would take one out, eat it, and toss the stick into the water.
"Ah, man! Sometimes simply looking is also torture. And can you stop showing off?" Cynthia's voice chimed in his head as she complained to him.
"Hey, don't blame me. It's not my fault at all… I'm a bigger person I would have shared with you if you could eat it, to begin with." Bobby responded as he took another skewer stick and continued enjoying them. He further added with his full mouth, "And I give you my word; I would make every delicacy I knew about for you when you regain your physical form."
"Hmph, whatever," Cynthia responded while pouting in displeasure.
It was at this moment that Bobby had a sense of something going on, and he glanced up at the sky on the far eastern horizon.
With a thought, he activated his Devil's eyes technique and zoomed his vision, and spotted an ant-like red dot approaching his direction.
"Oh, those two must have come for me…. I believe their elders must have warned them to avoid me, but what intentions did they have to come searching for me here?" Bobby muttered under his breath.
After a few minutes, a silver-colored Flying Vessel appeared in front of Bobby's eyes and landed over the river's surface while blocking the path of his boat.
Logan Bradworth and Juno Tempest came out taking a short flight and stood just close by Bobby's boat in the air while quivering their wings.
"Good day, Loki Bradworth!" Juno Tempest greeted him with a courteous tone. And Logan Bradworth stayed silent while folding his arms around the chest.
"Oh, hello! It's Agent Juno and Agent Logan." Bobby responded with a smile and he continued, asking. "So, what brings you two gentlemen here?"
"Agent Loki, we are here to make a proposition about entering a temporarily joined force between us three…. You know this trial will be extremely perilous considering the fact none of our seniors return after coming here. And I think, most importantly, we have located the coordinate of the tallest peak. So, what do you think?" Juno Tempest said straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Okay," Bobby agreed hurriedly without overthinking it as he was even more interested in what plot they were cooking.
'Hmm, so strange… I never thought that it'll be so easy.'
"Alright, since brother Juno and Brother Logan have already found the location of the tallest peak. What're we waiting for? Let's go." Bobby said, jumping up in the air and then in front of them he put the boat inside the Purple Spatial Beast's eye with a wave of his hand.
Juno Tempest remained aloof, whereas Logan Bradworth eyed it with greedy eyes.
Bobby unceremoniously boarded inside their silver-colored Flying Vessel and the two also entered it shortly afterward.
Juno then piloted the vessel and took its flight, setting its course in the tallest peak's direction.
After several hours, Bobby saw the three tallest twin peaks next to each other; one green, one silver, and a red one in the middle.
With no question, Juno Tempest landed their flying vessel on the flat ground close to the foot of the silver-colored peak.
Then the three jumped out of the flying vessel.
"Brother Loki, since it turns out that our goal is somewhere within one of these three mountain peaks, why don't we search from this mountain peak first?" Juno Tempest asked only after they were on the ground.
And throughout this trip of several hours, none of them even talked a single word as Juno was the silent-type of fella, to begin with, and Logan didn't care to talk with someone lowly born like Loki.
Bobby nodded his head in agreement and wondered, 'They've been here before? So, what's their game here?'
Soon he followed the two, trekking the peak on the footpath, and stopped after reaching the flat ground, and there, Bobby spotted a mud hut and a black smoke also came out from there.
The second they reached there, Logan Bradworth and Juno Tempest sprinted toward it and said while kneeling in front of the door, "Uncle Hardy! We brought Loki here as you've ordered."
A middle-aged-looking man wearing a bluish robe with the Bradworth family's crest came out holding a bowl, and he said, "Both of you, good job!... Now, I'll take care of him from here."
Bobby saw Hardy Bradworth walking toward him gradually while making a friendly smile.
"We have met again, my good Nephew Loki. Do you remember me?... What can I say? You have grown well, and I heard you have been walking hard to take revenge on your mother, right?.. Do you want to hear a piece of good news about her?" Hardy Bradforth said in a gentle tone.
Suddenly, his smiling face turned into a smirk and bellowed at the top of his lunge, saying: "It's I who killed your mother! And today I'll take your miserable life too."
Bobby remained silent all this time while observing him like a clown. Even his words didn't affect him much, as what happened to the real Loki and his mother had nothing to do with him.
'Hmm, so, he's trying to cast an enchantment technique while using my emotion.' He thought as he felt the invisible mental wave that came along with his tone.
"Huh, it failed!" Hardy Bradworth exclaimed. Then he once again sent a mental wave blanketing over Bobby's head and failed to enchant him and he repeated it two more times and he muttered under his breath. "Clearly, the news of his mother must trigger him into a mental breakdown. Why is it not working on him?"
