The moment those two White Robes spotted me, their expressions shifted dramatically!
"You...you broke out of jail?" they gasped, clearly shaken.
I didn't waste time on explanations. Grabbing both their collars, I tossed them outside effortlessly.
"Go back and warn Sybil Cooper—if he shows up at Green Moon Villa again, I'll shatter his legs," I stated icily.
The White Robes didn't dare argue and bolted immediately.
"Mr. Raymond, I always knew you'd make it back safely!" Ximena Santos burst out, practically glowing with relief.
I gave her a slight smile before asking, "Has Green Moon Villa stayed peaceful while I was away?"
"Pretty much, except the Capital City Martial Arts Association keeps showing up," Ximena answered.
I nodded. "I'll be training here at Green Moon Villa for a while. Let me know if trouble starts."
After chatting briefly with Ximena, I made my way directly to the Spiritual Spring.
