Upon reaching his destination, Thirteen didn't waste a second and immediately knocked on the door.

"Lady Ouriel, it's me, Zion," Thirteen stated. "Can I talk to you right now?"

"Come in," a voice that was pleasant to the ears sounded from the other side of the door.

Since he got permission to enter, Thirteen didn't hesitate to open the door and come inside the room.

Adira hastily followed behind because she was very curious as to why the ten-year-old wished to see her Master.

"It has been a few months, Zion." A beautiful lady with long silver hair and gray eyes looked at the boy with a calm expression on her face.

She looked like someone who was still in her early thirties when in reality, she was more than a hundred years old.

"Lady Ouriel, I need your help," Thirteen said. "There's a message that I want to be delivered."

"Oh?" Lady Ouriel arched an eyebrow. "Since you came to me instead of asking Adira for help, does this mean that you want our express delivery?"

Thirteen nodded. "I want this delivered at the fastest time possible."

"Well, I don't mind doing it for you, Zion," Lady Ouriel replied. "But, it will not be free."

"What do you want?" Thirteen inquired.

"What can you offer me?" Lady Ouriel smirked. "Depending on what you can give me, the letter you want delivered could arrive within the day or after a month."

"I can offer you information." Thirteen smiled back at the Commander of the Underground base he was currently in.

"I do love information. Tell me, what kind of information are you planning to give me?"

"Tell me, Lady Ouriel. Have you heard about the story of the Moon Princess?"

The Commander frowned after hearing Thirteen's reply.

"Are you talking about some kind of children's story?" Lady Ouriel inquired. "Or are you talking about something that truly exists?"

"Of course, it's something that truly exists," Thirteen replied. "So, will you send my letter in exchange for this information?"

Lady Ouriel chuckled before making a gesture for Zion to sit on the chair in front of her.

"Start talking," Lady Ouriel said. "If I like this information, then I'll see to it that your letter is delivered as soon as possible."

Thirteen found this reply quite positive, so he began to tell the story of the pitiful Moon Princess, who wished for nothing more than for someone to end her life so that she would be freed from the suffering and torment that she had endured for the past few decades.

Warrington City in Solterra…

Michael Leventis, who was inside his office, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Michael ordered.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man, who was one of Michael's most trusted subordinates, entered, carrying a letter in his hand.

"Lord Michael, one of our important business partners has asked me to personally pass this letter to you," the middle-aged man said as he respectfully handed the letter to his employer.

Michael frowned, but he still accepted the letter and tore it open.

Half a minute later, his eyes widened in shock before abruptly standing up from his seat.

"I'll be going back to Pangea for a while," Michael stated as he walked towards the door. "Manage the affairs of the city while I'm gone."

"Understood, Lord Michael." the middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

The second-in-command of the Leventis Family walked swiftly toward his private teleporter, which was directly connected to the Main Residence of the Leventis Family in Solterra.

He didn't expect that his nephew, whom he hadn't seen for the past three years, would write him a letter.

Due to the contents of the letter, Michael decided to let his father see it first before passing it to Thirteen's family.

The passage between the two worlds was smooth, and in just a span of a few seconds, Michael had stepped foot in the Main Residence of the Leventis Family.

The first place he visited was his Father's Office, but Arthur wasn't there.

After asking one of the servants working in the residence, he was told that his father was currently in Lady Callista's Villa and that they seemed to be spending some quality time with each other.

Michael, who could go anywhere within the territory of the Leventis Family, didn't hesitate to head to the Villa to go and meet his father.

When he arrived, he noticed that Arthur was smiling, which meant that he was in a good mood.

'I just hope that he will remain in a good mood after seeing this letter,' Michael thought.

Arthur, who already sensed Michael's presence, looked in his direction and arched his eyebrow.

"Are the affairs in Solterra already finished?" Arthur asked. "You finished earlier than I expected."

"I'm still not done with my work, Father," Michael replied as he adjusted the glasses on his face. "I just came here to let you read this letter before I deliver it to Gerald and his family."

Arthur, who took the letter from his son's hand, began to read it.

Half a minute later, he had the same surprised look that Michael had when he first read the contents of the letter.

"What's wrong?" Lady Callista looked at her husband, whose aura suddenly changed.

"Zion has sent a letter," Arthur answered as he handed the letter to his wife. "It will be faster if you read it."

Seeing how serious Arthur's expression was, Lady Callista thought that something bad had happened to their family members in Solterra.

But after reading the contents of the letters in her hands, she immediately stood up from the couch and walked toward the door.

Arthur and Michael shared a knowing glance before following the most skilled fighter in their family, second only to Arthur.

The three didn't bother riding a car since they could travel faster by running and jumping great distances.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Gerald's home.

The moment they arrived, Gerald opened the door to see who had come to visit them.

"Hello, Mother," Gerald said, completely ignoring Arthur and Michael, who were right behind Lady Callista. "Did you come to visit Remi? Good timing. She said that she wants to see you."

If this were any other occasion, Lady Callista would have already entered the house and showered her granddaughter with hugs and kisses.

But today was different.

There was a more important matter that needed to be addressed as soon as possible.

"Gerald, Zion sent a letter," Lady Callista stated. "I want you to verify if it's his handwriting or not."

Gerald's expression became solemn after hearing his mother's words. He then read the letter that was passed unto him before the frown on his face deepened.

"It's indeed Zion's handwriting," Gerald answered. "Please come in. Let's talk inside."

Lady Callista nodded. This was indeed an important matter that shouldn't be discussed at the door.

She hadn't heard anything from her grandson for the past three years.

And yet, the first update she got was Zion's letter, which told them about his current situation and more.

Alessia, who was the last to read the letter, couldn't stop herself from reading it twice to ensure that she didn't miss any hidden messages or wordings that her son might have used in the letter.

A moment of silence descended inside the room as the important members of the Leventis Family discussed the contents of Thirteen's letter and how they should deal with it.
