"My name is Rennick, just a small-time dude, we were sent by Alaric Hale to find Elena Hale and her children without the swordsman Marcus noticing ". "Why haven't you done it yet?" Austin, with a hint of impatience," We thought it was easy after were were paid over 5000 mana crystals and 2 million gold coins but the swordsman is always watching from his home and the one time he was gone, an old man in the fifth level was watching over their kids and if we return we will be killed by Alaric".
"Why does he want to capture Elena?"Austin was now losing patience, as he had never investigated anything this deeply. Often when he met enemies, he would slay them, and then when more came, he would also slay them. "Because she looks like a high human and Marcus cut off contact with his family and abdicated his patriarchal position to run away with her, that's all I know, please spare me young master, I have several 200-year old herbs and a hundred mana crystals with me in this space ring, please take it", he tossed a ring to Austin who caught it and sent his soul sense to the space ring clearly fascinated by it.
As he wiped away the existing soul within the ring, the man's face was pale as he suffered backlash and was shocked by how a mere kid wet behind his ears would have such a powerful soul sense. Austin, on the contrary was used to opening a separate space and storing items, and he knew the existence of space treasures but saw them as insignificant since they could never store his artifacts or items as they were too big or too strong. He also appreciated the resources, as his father was currently a runaway and his mother seemed to hold a terrifying secret.
"Since you gave me these mana crystals and four 200 year old yang flowers, I will spare you, but, you will go back to the patriarch who sent you, tell him that Marcus killed the rest of your men and you got away, also find out what she intends to do with Elena and her children". Austin ordered as he wore the ring on his right ring finger which resized itself and disappeared. "Okay, boss, I will do as you wish ", Rennick replied, as he bolted to the door, his intentions obvious that he wanted to vanish, never to be seen again.
