Chapter 30,

"Hehehe!" Mr. Cyclone stared at Miss Marder, giggling. "Hehehe! It's okay, Miss Marder. Eileen said there was no problem, she just needs to go home and pack. Don't worry, trust Eileen. It's her specialty to be shy, hehehe!"

Eileen hid behind Miss Marder and sneaked a glance at Mr. Cyclone, who of course noticed. But Eileen quickly ran to the members of the Research Association.

"Sigh... I feel like I've been scammed..." Mr. Cyclone looked at the huge bag behind Miss Marder.

"Hehehe! Don't worry, Mr. Cyclone. Have faith in Eileen and everything will be okay," she said.

"Whatever, let's focus on the task at hand. You can help me create opportunities on the way," he said.

"Huh!? On the way?" Suddenly changing the topic, Miss Marder couldn't keep up.

Afterwards, the mansion's gate opened, and Joshua returned from outside.

"Mr. Cyclone, the carriages are all ready," he said.

"Good! Joshua."

"How did this happen?" Miss Marder couldn't quite keep up with the situation, but unfortunately, Mr. Cyclone wasn't the type to explain things well. To save time, he simply took Miss Marder out of the mansion.

Outside the mansion, there were not only carriages booked for the Wand Research Association, but also four more carriages filled with boxes.

"The king has ordered me to go to Sunset City. He said you will also be heading north, so we can help each other on the way," Mr. Cyclone said.

"I see," Miss Marder finally understood. "So we'll be traveling together until we reach the ancient forest?"

"Yes, my lady."

"In that case, I'll leave my transaction with you in your hands," she said with a sly smile.

"Got it," Mr. Cyclone said, understanding her intentions.

Miss Marder went back to her members to explain the situation with Mr. Cyclone. In fact, Mr. Cyclone hadn't expected things to turn out this way either. But last night, the king had given him some advice.

With more than 40 million in funds to transport to Sunset City, Mr. Cyclone needed sufficient protection. The king suggested that he travel with the Wand Research Association. Although they would separate near the end of the journey, during 99% of the trip, their powerful magic would be better protection than an entire army.

On the other hand, Sonja had been summoned to the capital as well. There were two major cities in the north of Arlen - Sunset City, which was located at the far northwest tip of the continent and had the largest seaport on the continent, and the other was a city of the same size as Arlen City - Yellow City, located northeast of Arlen City.

The king said he would unite the north before winter arrived. There was still a month before winter, and there would be a joint military exercise between Arlen City and Yellow City. Sonja was summoned for this purpose.

Although the king didn't say much about Yellow City, he did give Mr. Cyclone some instructions on what to do in Sunset City. Using his own wit, Mr. Cyclone guessed at the rest.

With everything prepared for the Wand Research Association and Mr. Cyclone's subordinates, the party set out immediately. Mr. Cyclone was in the middle of the group, pushed forward by the horses from behind and unable to stop.Just as Mr. Cyclone thought that he couldn't even say goodbye to his wife, Sonja, a familiar voice came through the door. Though it was very soft, Mr. Cyclone could still hear it.

"Be careful..."

He couldn't stop, but he still turned around and saw Sonja. She was still riding her horse but didn't catch up. She just stood in front of the gate.

Realizing that Sonja may have come to see him off, Mr. Cyclone felt very happy. He raised his hand and waved goodbye to Sonja in the distance.

"Wait for me to come back, my dear wife."

Looking at the figure that had already gone away, Sonja nodded lightly.

"...Mm."
