Chapter 868: 868
The explosion didn't damage the structure of the buildings and underground quarters, but the protective inscriptions couldn't prevent the tremors from spreading . They preserved the integrity of the constructions, but the detonation still affected the entire area .
However, no one came to check the situation, and even the heroic cultivators living right above that underground area didn't bother to leave their positions .
Daniel was astonished . He knew that the experiments of a rank 5 cultivator could end up poorly, but the fact that none of the underlings of the Hive had come to help them was quite unnatural!
After all, that matter concerned the quarters of their leader . Noah's safety should be the main priority of the weaker heroic assets .
Of course, Daniel couldn't possibly know that the other Elders had already checked on him once when the first explosion resounded right under their feet . Yet, they had only found an annoyed Noah who ordered them to never check on his status anymore back then .
Daniel soon started to understand that such explosions were a common sight in the neutral city .
The two women next to him had reacted too fast, and they didn't even appear bothered by that situation . Their expressions were more a mixture of helplessness and annoyance toward the interruption of their battle .
"This one goes on me," June said at some point, and she started to walk back in the underground as if nothing unusual had happened .
"They all go to you if I can't shut down your battle intent soon enough . " Faith replied as she followed her along the corridor .
Daniel could only follow after the two of them while wearing a confused expression . In his mind, he was already reevaluating his expectations toward the task of an ambassador of the neutral city .
When the three of them returned inside Noah's quarters, they found him staring at the wall where the black cloud was hovering just a few minutes before . Yet, there was no gas now, and only a few marks on the azure rocks carried traces of its detonation .
The Demonic Sword flew casually above him, but it didn't seem interested in what he was doing . It had merely reacted to the sudden danger, but even the living weapon appeared used to that kind of commotion .
Faith and June sat in a corner and took out a few cups that they quickly filled with strong wine, but they acted so naturally the Daniel felt forced to stare at them to be sure that he didn't see things .
Daniel knew that Noah and June were in a relationship, but he had yet to become used to her behavior . After all, he didn't know her too well . The only pieces of information in his possession came from the reports that his family had gathered when it was still planning a revolution .
June didn't appear as a battle maniac at all while she drank and conversed with Faith . She seemed even able to go along with Faith's playful character .
The image of the talent of the Ballor family that Daniel had in his mind fell apart in a few seconds when he saw how she acted there .
"I told you that she was cute!" Faith exclaimed when she noticed his stare . "And you have yet to see how they are together . I actually feel jealous at times . "
"Hmph," June snorted as she kept Faith still to prevent her from hugging her . "The most beautiful woman of the Mortal Lands can't be jealous . Just leave Noah and me alone and get yourself a partner . "
"But men are so easy to take," Faith complained as she gave up on jumping in June . "Except for your man, I guess . "
