After learning that the prophecy wizard had already pinpointed Si Man's location and arranged for someone to rescue her, Helen's eyes brimmed with excitement.
According to Angel, if Si Man could be successfully rescued, she would probably return to Red Sunflower Ward at once.
Carrying this beautiful hope, after repeatedly thanking Angel, Little Six supported the impatient Helen as they headed toward Red Sunflower Ward.
Once Helen and Little Six had left, Angel turned and departed as well.
Though his body walked along the empty long street beneath the night sky, his thoughts had already drifted into the void.
He wondered whether City Lord Rosen would be able to find Si Man on this trip into the void. And what about that group of Budding Believers? If he found them, how did City Lord Rosen plan to deal with them? Would he wipe them out without a second thought, or order them exiled?
Whatever the final outcome, Angel still hoped the matter of the Budding could be resolved soon. The Southern Region now seemed to be gradually improving—the demon god problem had been solved, the New Star Tournament had produced a great number of rising stars, and talents emerged one after another. But that was only a recovery on the surface. Countless dangers still lurked in the shadows.
If another Budding incident were added to the mix, even the finest prospects would be worn away.
Thus, Angel greatly anticipated a perfect outcome from this raid that could not be publicized.
Before long, Angel arrived on Benshiweiquzigai Street.
Because of the terrifying aura that had appeared during the day, streets throughout Sky Mechanical City had grown much quieter. Benshiweiquzigai Street, however, was an exception. It remained ablaze with lights and bustling with people.
And the reason for its prosperity—
