Not paying any heed to the fading shouts of the man behind him, Emery headed back to Silvermane City with the cargo chest. He went directly toward the Apex faction facility, just next to the Apothecary center.
His eyes fell on the two furry Oxen standing outside the facility, around them were the three guards along with his two pack members, Yoro and Andrei. Their eyes were immediately fixated on him when they spotted his approaching figure.
The magus-level guard stepped forward and approached him with a hint of anticipation. When he saw the chest Emery was carrying, his mouth immediately curved into a large crescent.
"You did it, Evan! Not only did you save our lives from those bandits, but you even reclaimed our cargo! Thank you, truly!" The magus-level guard beamed with joy.
"Yes… Unfortunately, I failed to catch the bandit," Emery expressed with disappointment.
