Chapter 142

                                    

                                          
"It has been months since Presley departed for Darkin Kingdom to find a way to remove my curse," Jenny narrated.
She tried to recount the events that Kane missed while in her gloomy face. 
"Honey had two primary goals in Darkin Kingdom. The first is to save Morgana Synderium himself and hope she safely retrieves her Authority from me. And the second... is to save Ikagami Tetsuya's son." 
"His son?" Kane asked. 
Brahmian responded, 
"His son used to be part of Rashina's Reconnaissance Team. But when Rashina defected, we had no news regarding Tetsuya's son. Presley assumed that Rashina captured him to her own advantage." 
Kane reacted, 
"Ooooohhh, it makes sense how the Empire's Greatest Swordsman and Founders of the Sparrows suddenly waged war against Morgana." 
"But these are all assumptions. It might or may not be true. For all we know, Tetsuya could've just been trying to avenge the Emperor after being killed by Morgana." 
"That's possible." 
"Regardless, Presley went to the Darkin Kingdom, leaving Jenny here. Upon reaching the place, they encountered Rashina Synderium and faced a problem upon using Anti-Paragon technology." 
"The what?" 
"It's a Tech developed by the Zeiraoh. It messes up Player specs like Player UI, Fuzzy Screen, and Controls. Presley's companions bought him time to run away while they all fought and died against Rashina. After they respawned, one came here and told us the news. They presumed Presley was still alive and stuck there and couldn't communicate via DMs." 
Kane looked very fascinated at the Anti-Paragon Technology, completely disregarding Presley being stuck in that Kingdom. 
"So, where can I buy that technology?" 
"Focus! We're talking about Presley here!" 
"UUUUUUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Jenny suddenly burst out crying. 
"W-Wha-Why?!" Kane shouted. 
Jenny replied, 
"H-Hick! I-It's because... t-the-the Rankers said that there's also a possibility that Presley faked his death to run away as he doesn't want to stay with me anymore!! UAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" 
Brahmian kept patting her back to console her. 
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Why did they have to say that to her?! Hmph! Stop crying, you know Presley's not like that." 
"Uuuuaaahhhhhh!! B-B-But w-w-what if it's true?!?!" 
Kane suddenly screamed, 
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" 
"W-What?! What's going on?!" Brahmian asked. 
"I-IF IF PRESLEY IS GONE... THEN M-M-MY... MY QUEST REWARDS!!" 
WHACK! 
Kane tightly grabbed Brahmian's collar and started shaking him. 
"THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!! I NEED MY REWARDS!! HE CAN'T JUST LEAVE!! GIVE ME HIS LOCATION!!" 
Brahmian replied, 
"I-I told you he's stuck in the Darkin Kingdom!! That's our only lead!!" 
"How are you sure?" Kane asked. 
"Zodiac Mage Vicente, also called Taurus, was missing for months. His last known skirmish was against Rashina's forces during the Siege of this Fishing Village."
