The village was now settling down and the pillars along with Jade group were having a meeting at the palace.
"Firstly, Bryan, why the sudden arrival?" The king asked, commencing the meeting.
"My project in Visgard was completed and with the sudden discovery, I thought it was best I came back." Dr Bryan replied.
"And what do you think is the cause of the event and I mean the groggs having abilities?" The king asked again.
"With all the things I experienced in Visgard, my believe is that this plan have been executed last seven years.
I completed my project seven years ago and reported to the vice president but unfortunately according to Joe a grogg stole one of my subject and blew up the lab.
We managed to survive and reported to the vice president, he gave us a new lab and I had to start all over.
Where I'm getting at is, the groggs might actually have some kind of scientist among them that was also working on the ability drug and they were using the non-ability once to weaken our army." Dr Bryan explained.
"Let's say you are partly at fault in all these."Arthur mumbled.
"So what's the plan with the kids?" The queen asked.
"For now it seems like we can't punish anyone." The king replied.
"For now huh? Then I guess when I leave the village there's no coming back." Jade said, standing up. "To me, I don't think you really need my help here after all I'm just a kid."
"Aren't you a little cocky right now?" Hegs asked. "Where do you even plan on going if you leave?"
"Ohohoh! Maybe you don't know but I'll tell you, Razeki is on her last leg and my mum resides there, my dad has refused to tell me anything about my family so I'll just go there, look for her and get my answers." Jade replied. "And maybe I'll be registered as a citizen by honorary, what do you think?"
The room was filled with silence cause this was a stalemate for the king.
"What do you want?"The king finally asked angrily.
"To me it one or another, asked my father to tell me about my mom and family or permit me and Rhen to go search for her. And I'll come to help whenever an attack is detected." Jade replied, confidently.
"Impossible, you are not taking my daughter with you again." Mr Hegs shouted, hitting the table.
"That's if she refused, I mean isn't she old enough to decide by herself?" Jade stated calmly.
"Dad, it's okay, I'll be fine." Rhen accepted, standing up.
"What! You are going to choose your... "
"First off..." The king cut off Hegs sentence. "It's your dad's choice to make, secondly, why would you choose Rhen, there are hundreds of other soldiers?"
"I've become very familiar with Rhen during my previous journey and I don't think it would be the same with other soldiers."Jade replied.
"(Sighs) Can't Mr Arthur just spit it out." Knight Roger said.
"I'm sorry but I can't." Mr Arthur protested.
"Perhaps you are just being selfish." James commented.
"If Rhen accepted the request, what's the waste of time?" Knight Flin asked.
"I wished we could do without him."Captain Drek mumbled.
Nobody knew the best option since it depends on basically two entity, Mr Hegs and Mr Arthur but still everybody in the room thought the king has the final say.
"Is that all you want?" The king asked, putting everybody in suspense of his final words.
"Not much, if I'm able to resolve everything I want a title as part of the pillars." Jade replied with an annoying smirk.
"That's not...."
"Granted." The king answered immediately before the queen could comment.
It was a shock to everybody but no one objected since they needed the help greatly. Before everybody left, Mark requested to leave with Jade which nobody cared, since his father approved it.
Without branching anywhere Jade went to Dr Bryan and asked for a favor before setting out for Razeki village along with Mark and Rhen.
The king ordered for the repair of the village, which began the next day. Making that deal with Jade almost put everyone's heart at rest, not that they trusted him to keep his words.

Jade, Rhen and Mark had finally made it to Razeki village and it wasn't a pleasant sight to behold, it was far worst than Takeki.
There were no scout at the borders, buildings destroyed everywhere and people were walking around, trying to find a place to lay their heads.
The trio walked through the street, making their way to a large gathering, it seems like someone was giving them a speech of some kind.
When they got there, they saw someone who looks to be the king talking about how everything will be fine which they all knew it won't.
Jade walked up to the spotlight, which gave everybody a shiver. It was clear he wasn't from their village.
"(Jade cleared his throat) I'm not here for trouble but rather I came to help. I'll try to fend the groggs away on their next attack, if I prove myself worthy you are also going to help me with my request."
Everyone was just staring at him and soon they dispersed without a single word while the king walked towards him.
"Nice speech, but maybe you should have proved yourself before coming here to boast." The king commented.
"I guess that's right, I'll do just that." Jade agreed, walking up to the two.
"It seems like we'll have to go for plan B, undercover." Jade said.
They left the village and came in with a hood covering their heads. Because nobody cares about their surroundings they could not notice Jade and his group.
The three of them walked around the village trying to find Zenn but it seems people don't actually share information about others in Razeki.

Three days passed, they couldn't find any link, they search for the villagers records but it seems like it got caught up in fire.
And alas the groggs had came to finally dominate the village.
There was panic everywhere and the villagers were going into hidings, peeping to see what their fate would be.
The groggs matched into the village with confidence, walking straight to the palace but there was a person standing at the balcony.
The leader of the groggs waved it away as he could crush anyone with one finger.
But in a blink, the groggs leader was seen flying backward. The rest halted, not knowing if to attack or not but they were too slow in their decision making.
Jade sprinted and punched the first grogg into the air, shot out beams to the rest though it wasn't effective. He was landing blows with his fist covered in fire on vital spots of the groggs.
The villagers who were peeping couldn't help but be dazed, some have already came out to watch.
Mark and Rhen just stood close to the palace and was live recording the fight, which made the Takeki to also view the fight.
Within thirty minutes he was done with the groggs. The king was standing at one corner with his son, flabbergasted.
Jade knew he needed to leave for Takeki as it was likely to be attacked too.
"How long will I take to get there...."
