When I heard this news, my expression grew serious.
The Michelle Sect members had crossed the border? Ten half-step Martial Marquises?
"Mason Raymond, what's your current location? Commander Wood and I talked it over - we think you should hide in the battle zone for now," Jasper Thompson said grimly.
"We'll also dispatch teams to hunt down the Michelle Sect people."
The plan made sense, but I couldn't go along with it.
My time was running short. If I went into hiding, there was no telling how long I'd be stuck there.
No matter what happened, I had to break through to the half-step Martial Marquis Realm fast.
"Jasper Thompson, I appreciate the offer," I said, taking a deep breath.
"But I can't go to the battle zone right now."
Jasper Thompson sounded confused on the other end. "Why not?"
I spoke seriously, "Mabel Sean and Vance Johansson's wedding is just over a month away. I can't waste any time."
