Nancy looked toward the distant western side of Starfall Haven, where the city gates stood beneath a curtain of pale light.
"We have to pass through another neutral zone first," she said. "After that, we will reach the outer path leading toward Witch God Valley."
Max nodded slightly.
"I see."
His gaze shifted toward the exit of Starfall Haven.
For a moment, his expression remained calm, but the coldness in his eyes deepened. He had not forgotten Munro. He had not forgotten Karo either.
Karo had died once inside the arena, but he was not truly gone, and Max knew very well that a demon like him would not quietly accept such humiliation.
As for Munro, Max had already decided to settle that matter before leaving the city. If both of them were waiting near the exit, then it would actually save him the trouble of searching for them later.
"Anyway," Max said, his voice calm, "let us go and take care of Karo and Munro first."
Nancy's eyes moved slightly.
