Lahat ng Kabanata ng Retribution of the Roar: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Grey wasn't someone who was easily intimidated. Even with Ryder and Leison had him on gunpoint and swordpoint, he still wore the same smug expression.''You're pretty confident this time, Aegis.'' He wasn't fazed at all with the pressure around him. ''Have you finally moved on from your humiliation in our last war?''This position was familiar with the battle at Hearth. Ryder had also cornered Grey in their laboratory. Grey wasn't yet a fighter or a conjurer back then, just a normal scientist who only knew how to wield science and technology. That was why Ryder decided that he wouldn't kill him. He diverted his focus on the Shadows that Hearth released. However, Grey took advantage of Ryder's soft heart back then. He summoned Absinthe and the rest was history.''You're provoking the wrong people. You should be telling that to your bosses,'' Leison answered.''I wouldn't call that a word of provocation. It's just called a taunt.'' Grey was feeling extra powerful now. Was there some rea

Jin hated being the one to lead. After being the chief's right hand man for almost a decade, every desire of being put in the limelight was flushed out until nothing remained, even when it was necessary. Like now. He had no problems with the Rigiddin warriors. They had been silent the whole time, opening their mouths only when they whistled, their undecoded form of communication during battles since ancient times. Just as Ryder said, the Triad didn't need their numbers, the Triad wanted their quality. What Jin hated were the bunch of the city Shore soldiers mixed with them. They introduced themselves depending on the company that they belonged to and even offered what division or role they wanted to be in but Jin didn't care. He didn't see why they had to keep up the lame tradition of introducing oneself before the battle like a normal first day of school. This was war. It didn't matter what name or title you were carrying. Whatever the leader will say, no one should have complaints

The Lady Rakasha couldn’t sleep.Whether it was because of worry about her brother going out on patrol without his best man Jin, or because she was stressed of the war, one thing was clear--the night was not for her. She closed her eyes, not to sleep, but to open her other senses. Maybe the Shore was speaking to her.It was not that she wasn’t used to letting the chief do his patrol. Chief Raius had been doing it for how many nights already. It’s just that her anxiety was rising as the days went by. Her brother wasn’t weakling, that was for sure. If he wasn’t her family, she would regard him as a reincarnation of Rufus, the first ever Rigiddin chief and warrior of the Shore. Raius was already a leader by heart ever since they were little. When her mother was pregnant with Raeya, her mother contracted an illness and the cure was found on a foreign land. He was only six but he traveled for weeks and was able to bring home the medicine. He was only six that time. A year after, some ban

If Raeya could recall properly, the men said they were going to answer her questions after they had tied her up but now she was the one tying all of six of them up. It was a good thing she found a rope in one of the toolboxes of the saleslady or else she would have to knock them unconscious every five minutes that they woke up.Raeya pressed the switch and a single dim bulb was brought back to life. Its light was yellowish but it would serve its purpose just for the room to do away with the darkness. She tried calling her friends but she was stumped after realizing that there was no signal. Raeya hoped that Aegis was doing well and that nothing bad happened. Raeya didn’t know why but she was feeling ominous like something big happened. Or was that her overthinking? After securing their hands, she dragged them into the corner and made their backs lean on the wall, away from any object that they could grab and free themselves. She was waiting for the leader, the one with a red turban,

The absence of Leison and Nique for almost four days made Raeya worry.Did something happen?Though she wasn’t really that worried since it was the two of them, she couldn’t help but overthink that the interrogation went wrong. Although Sir Vance contacted them for the past days telling them that everything went well and that they just had to focus on Operation Ignis, he only used voice calls. It was nothing to be suspicious about but when even Nique refused to do video call with her, that was something new like they didn’t want to show their faces, save for Leison. Raeya actually thought that they were hiding something.“You weren’t listening again,” Fahazi grumbled in front of her. She snapped back to reality. She looked at the score sheet in front of her. Raeya just snoozed in the middle of an oral and written quiz with Fahazi.“Oh.” Raeya could only scratch her cheek and do an awkward chuckle. “My bad, you were saying?”Fahazi hit her with a hard-cover book.“Ow!”Fahazi laid down
