The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Jacob wasn't as involved in the affairs in Harleydale Senior High as he wanted to give Evelyn more space. Because of that, there were times that he would receive news late.

This was also one of the reasons why he gave Victoria Presley another chance yesterday. It would look more natural and be safer if someone the same age as Evelyn looked after and protected her.

However, it seems some people just can't sit still and wait for help.

Although Jacob's expression was cold, he looked to his innocent looking sister and gave a shake of his head.

My stupid little sister, I can't leave her alone yet.

Jacob pondered for a moment before nodding his head, "Go ahead, call them to come now."

"Now? It's dark already, how about tomorrow?" Janelle asked while batting her lashes.

Jacob shook his head and said, "If they don't come now, do not blame me for not giving them another chance."

"Alright, alright, I'll call them now." Janelle took her phone out and was about to dial a number when her brother said, with his eyes blazing. "Make sure that only two of them come, I don't want to see more."

"Only you would request so much." Janelle mumbled under her breath.

Not even twenty minutes later, Steven Winston and his daughter, Evelyn arrived at Rowan Lane. They tried to enter the grounds but were stopped by a shadow ranger under the rowan tree.

Evelyn pulled at her father's sleeve and gave him a calm look. She took a step forward and told the shadow ranger, "Mr. Lynch asked for us."

"Okay ma'am, the boss is over there." The shadow ranger pointed into a direction. Evelyn looked at the direction he was pointing to and saw a ruin sitting several tens of meters away. She said thanks to the ranger and made her way down the ruined road with her father.

"Hmph, what a show-off!" Steven grumbled, as he had been unhappy these past few days.

"Dad!" Evelyn stopped walking and looked at her father with a stern look, "If you're going to act like this in front of Mr. Lynch, we better go back now, and maybe we can live another two days!"

Seeing his daughter's expression, Steven hesitated to speak more, but after experiencing the ups and downs of the world these past two days, he slumped his head and said, "Okay, I understand that we're going to ask a favor, and not to judge a person."

Very quickly the father and daughter pair arrived at the ruins, and two figures came into view.

The night breeze blew as Evelyn looked at the figure that was as magnificent as a mountain. She took a long breath to soothe her agitated heart.
