Chapter 779: Pressing Matter

"Master! You can sense Avelia?" Primo asked with an eager expression.

"I can," Athan nodded quickly with excitement and happiness, "let's go; I want to meet her quickly."

Seeing Athan like this, Lily felt her heart's strings pulling as she thought, 'will Athan also get this excited and worried about me if something happened to me?'

"I will come with you, brother Athan," Mimi said with an excited smile, "It's been such a long time since I met sister Avelia and sister Tiana."

"Tiana...I can't sense anyone else's presence and general location except for Avelia's," Athan spoke with a frown, "strange."

But after a second, he shook his head and spoke with resolve, "the pressing matter is getting Avelia back from wherever she is. Let's go!"

Primo, Taezin, and Pixilote looked at each other but couldn't bring them to say the whole thing to Athan. However, they were ready to accompany their Master in search of Avelia.

"Nyaaa!" Primo suddenly jumped and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Oo...Ooo, what are you shouting for?" Taezin said with a frown.

"Ahem. I got an idea," Primo said while thinking, 'that Staercia woman said that she would be putting them under her different organizations. It's obvious that the organizations under her are powerful. To make the Master's journey smooth and short, I must verify some things."

"What idea?" Athan asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Idea to find Avelia faster," Primo said with a grin.

"Oh? Hurry up and let it out," Athan said as he smiled and caressed Primo's head and the cute cat's neck.

"Nyaa~ First, we have to call that Komin for that," Primo said.

"Alright," Athan nodded as he took out a comm crystal and contacted Komin.

Athan--, "can you come here? It's quite important."

Komin--," oh? So you already came out from your secluded cocoon training? So I assume that the important thing is your answer to my invitation regarding the Grand Meet."

Athan decided to lie and nodded--," Yep, now hurry up and come here."

Komin--," Alright, I was in the hall with Lienia and another companion who will be joining us as the supporter of Raizor lord; I am bringing him there for the introduction as well."

Athan--, "Hurry up."

'Master, be sure to save that origin portion of your baptism for reaching 65% because I think Master might need it,' Pixilote said with some worries in her eyes. She knew what Primo was thinking, but if that was the case, like Avelia being in a top organization, it would be dangerous for Athan to venture there.

'Alright,' Athan nodded towards Pixilote with a smile. He knew that his voidlings were hiding something, but it was for his sake. They wanted to tell him the truth, but they couldn't because of some reason he was not aware of.

He suddenly felt Avelia's presence after a year of Primo and others coming back to him, and he also remembered that they told him not to give an answer to Komin about joining Grand Meet right away but wait for a year.

Now he felt that both things were connected. It was as if Primo and others knew that he would feel Avelia's presence in a year.

However, he knew for sure that they were absolutely loyal to him. They would never even produce a tiniest of malice thought against him. He was literally their reason for living.

If he died, then they would also die. No! They would literally give their lives for him if he just signaled them. So he trusted them to his throat.

After two minutes, Komin, Lienia, and a man looking the same age as Athan arrived in his mid-twenties.

He wore a wizard-type outfit and a hat with a staff in his hand.

"Hahaha, so did you finally decide to join us?" Komin said after laughing with a smiling face.

"Anyway, meet Albus Cromwer," Komin said as he pointed at the wizard-looking man, "haha, don't look at his appearance. He is actually older than me."

Cromwer rolled his eyes before he put his hat in his hand and bowed slightly with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Athan."

Athan nodded at him, "me too."

After saying that, Athan adopted a serious and somber expression before he spoke heavily, "I have an extremely important matter at hand right now, and I need your help in that. If you help me, then I will for sure join you."

Seeing Athan's expression, Komin and Lienia were startled.

"Oh? What matter is that?" Cromwer asked as he rubbed his chin, "your expression is quite dire."

"Primo," Athan turned to Primo.

"Ahem, Master. First, tell me the general direction of Avelia's location," Primo asked.

Athan stretched his hand and pointed in the northwest direction with his finger.

Primo nodded and turned to Komin, "what are some of the most powerful organizations in this Okulus region? More specifically, tell me the organization that is in the direction that my Master pointed with his hand."

"In that direction...hmm," Komin fell into thought.

"Starling River Organization," Cromwer said with a smile," the most powerful organization in that direction is either Starling River or Arhat Mountain. However, Starling River is more powerful."

"Hmm," Primo fell into thought, 'two organizations? fuck it, since that woman was so powerful, then Avelia should be in the most powerful organization.'

"Okay, Master. Let's go to the Starling River Organization," Primo said, "Avelia should be there."

"Wait," Athan suddenly frowned and spoke, "her general direction changed."

"How significant was the change?" Lienia asked.

Athan turned his pointing hand ten centimeters to the west.

"That's quite a significant change," Cromwer nodded, "but It confirms one thing. The person you are finding was in the Starlight River organization because they have the best transportation facility, and using that facility, that person went to another place."

"Komin," Ahtan looked at Komin and spoke, "take out your ship and let's go. You will not regret aiding me."

Komin looked at Athan for a few moments with a deep gaze before nodding, "fine. I also feel like you got stronger. But how strong?"

"You will know my current strength when the time comes. Of course, I am still in the Supremacy realm but I should be able to have a tie with you if we fight now, "Athan said with a smile, " Also, on our journey, stop at a big marketplace or something so I can exchange the two-weapon treasure I have for resources."
