Boom!

And after a while, they ran into Kalian who had just climbed up the stairs.

"Ms. Yuri? Are you alright?"

Kalian recognized Yuri in Lakis' arms and asked as he hurriedly walked over.

The thought that Kalian might have discovered her using her abilities if Lakis didn't come in time flashed in Yuri's mind and she frowned slightly.

"Don't move. And don't bother answering."

When Yuri turned as Kalian approached and opened her mouth, Lakis spoke with a subdued voice much colder than before. Hearing that, Yuri furrowed her brows, somewhat dissatisfied. But she eventually kept quiet as Lakis asked.

And Kalian unconsciously stopped walking towards Yuri when he heard Lakis' cold voice ringing in ear right after.

"Step aside; don't block the way."

Light blue eyes with a hue like that of a cold winter lake met Kalian's gaze in the air.

"I'll take her somewhere safe myself."

Lakis began moving again and walked past Kalian while throwing him a sharp gaze.

"You're the hero of the east, go take care of the other injured inside."

At that moment, Kalian felt a strange sense of déjà vu crawling up his spine. But before he could even figure out why that was, the man in front of him left with Yuri in his arms.

For a moment, the thought of holding them back sprang in his mind but somehow, there seemed to be a strange atmosphere flowing between the two that made it difficult to intrude so he hesitated. And while he did, the two of them swiftly disappeared from his sight.

Kalian blankly stared at the afterimage left behind before giving chase, but then he soon heard the sound of people groaning and crying not too far away and abruptly came to his senses.

'Come to think of it, he said there were other injured inside.'

With that, Kalian quickly moved towards where the sounds were coming from.

"Sh*t, why isn't he coming out?"

Anne-Marie, Bastian and Damon were waiting for Kalian at the entrance of a crowded street. Damon was running out of patience and swore. The continuous explosions that hurt his ears had come to an end a little while ago.

Some time ago, the rescue party and law enforcement arrived to evacuate the people in the shopping district and were actively moving towards where the sounds came from to find out the cause of the explosion.

"N-Nothing happened, right?"

"They will be fine."

Bastian and Anne-Marie were also on pins and needles as they gazed at the shopping district. Then Anne-Marie noticed a familiar face in the distance.

"Ah, Ms. Yuri!"

"What? Where? Where did you see her?"

Bastian stretched his neck and looked around. But because he was presbyopic, his eyes were uncomfortable, and he couldn't find Yuri right away.

'Anne-Marie?'

Yuri heard the voice calling her as well. So she turned her head and saw Anne-Marie, Bastian and Damon who seemed to have evacuated safely.
