Chapter 49 - Settling Matters (2)
"I...." Mike opened his mouth to speak but closed it before saying anything and thought for one whole minute before he spoke while shaking his head, " I will not come. " He then smiled as continued, " But when you have a place for yourself out there in the vast world, be sure to invite me. "
Athan also smiled and spoke, " Just wait for it. It won't take that long. "
Mike got a bit emotional as he gave a bear hug to Athan.
They had stayed together since they were small, and now that his friend was going to a faraway place, he got a bit emotional, " Although you've never been reckless, still take care of yourself, because as you said, it will be very dangerous out there. "
" Worry not, Tiana is also very powerful, hahaha. In terms of Attack power, she is a notch above me, so we can take care of each other. "
Tiana chimed from the side with a smile, " It's because of you that I'm powerful, but you'll likely surpass me in no time, knowing your rate of progress. Also, how about we put all those faction leaders and the Lotus Ridge sect's master under Mike's command? "
Mike shook his head and spoke, " Nah, let them be under Master's command. I just want to focus on getting stronger. "
Athan nodded as he took out a storage ring and gave it to Mike before speaking, " Take this storage ring, I've put quite a few peak-grade and high-grade elemental stones of all elements inside. They will be useful to you, especially the Space Elemental stones. "
After talking with Mike for some time, They left towards Tiana's orphanage, which was situated in the neighborhood region of Thunder-Fire Valley.
The Town she came from was known as Duranta, and it is a lot bigger than the town where Mike and Athan came from.
Duranta was situated near the Main City of EarthanShadow Pavilion, which was also a top faction.
Tiana only had one person she wanted to meet, and that was Mrs. Rosely, the co-owner of the orphanage.
Unlike the small orphanage where Athan and Mike came from, this orphanage was supported by many rich townspeople.
Tiana and Athan spent two hours there before departing.
After a few hours, They arrived at Athan's small-town before directly going towards his orphanage.
Inside the office of Mrs.Ralph
Athan and Mrs.Ralph talked with each other, telling her about him and Mike. After talking for a while, Athan stood up and took out a storage ring before saying, " Mrs.Ralph, Please take this storage ring. There are gold and elemental stones inside, Also please don't reject this, you have taken care of me and mike for many years, so this is the least I can do. " Saying this, he put the ring on the table and bowed.
Mrs.Ralph got emotional as tears welled up inside her eyes as she spoke, " You and mike have truly become dragon among men in just two years. It just seems so unbelievable. But Athan...I really can't accept this, Wealth attracts the greed of others, and I am not powerful enough to guard this much wealth against greed. Our orphanage is being supported by Thunder-Fire valley since Mike became a holy son, so there's really nothing we need right now. "
After thinking about it, Athan nodded and took back the storage ring before saying with a smile, " Alright, As you say, Mrs. Ralph, Then We'll be leaving now. I hope you don't work too hard. Health is important too. "
Mrs. Ralph smiled kindly and said as she looked at Athan and Tiana, " You both be careful too and take care of your girl Athan. With such a beautiful wife, You sure got lucky, brat. "
Tiana blushed and said, " I am the one who is lucky to have Athan as my...life partner. "
Mrs. Ralph chuckled, and Athan rubbed his nose hearing that.

" do we have anything left to do now? " Athan asked Tiana, who was sitting on his lap in the chariot.
" I don't think so..." Tiana shook her head after thinking for a few seconds.
" We don't know how to progress after Elemental Dominator, so we might as well leave right now as it doesn't make sense to stay here any longer to waste time. Anyway, I didn't expand my energies in the battle against That Sect Master of Lotus Ridge sect, so I still have 100,000 units of essence energy of both fire and Lightning. As for other elements, they are almost close to 100,000 units except for space elements. What about you? "
Tiana agreed with Athan as she nodded and spoke, " I've already recovered my energies. My Lightning and Fire essence energies are 100,000 units. In comparison, Lightning Inferno Energy is around 60,000 units, and Water essence is 0 units because, for that, I need the mystic realm and construct the tornado ( revolving condensation gate ) using mystic energy. "
" By the way, Do you know how did your Psychic Realm turn into Mystic Realm? " She asked.
Athan smiled awkwardly as he remembered, " Actually, It happened while we..." Athan told her about it.
" Ohh...My psychic Realm was also opened that day, so the reason why we both fainted was that your Psychic Realm broke through to Mystic Realm while I opened my Psychic Realm. "
Tiana then pinched Athan's dragon as she spoke naughtily with a smile, " we can also choose to leave tomorrow morning, So Let's spend tonight somewhere here."
" As you wish, queen...but we don't need to descend. Let's do it on this chariot..."
A <Dark Barrier> materialized on the flying chariot, sealing the sound of moaning.
...
...
Next-Day Afternoon...
Both of them arrived at the place in the mountain where Stargate was situated.
Athan took out the coordinate plate from the storage ring before putting it inside the slot.
The Stargate lit up as a Portal formed inside the ring.
Taking a deep breath, Athan and Tiana grabbed each other's hands.
" Huu...I'm quite nervous and excited at the same time. "
" Me too...but let's go. A new world awaits us. "
Both of them then stepped into the portal.
