Somewhere in the coastal city, a red-skinned girl with a wrapped sword stood on the roof of a building, her gaze intensely fixed on a group of unsuspecting individuals who were having a silent conversation among themselves.
"Young master, are you sure we should do this?" one of the men asked a tall, athletic youth with a cross-shaped scar on his face. This youth was none other than Jack, the same boy Nox had encountered in the tunnels.
Jack nodded with a serious expression. "I'm very sure of this; if we want to find that Beast, we must find that family."
Unlike Nox, Jack had a lead on how to find the elemental beast. It was the reason he had come to this city straight after leaving the tunnels—because the elemental beast had been spotted here by a family. However, not many people knew this. In fact, those who knew about the beast's location had purposely kept it a secret to send their competitors on a wild goose chase while they took their time to search for the beast.
