The Seal Of Light And Darkness
The Bad News that Haunts

Michael walked towards where Brianna was standing. Jesslyn who saw him immediately patted Brianna on the shoulder.

" Hey..it looks like what you said was true Brianna he's headed over here .." Jesslyn said.

" Of course, doesn't he want a confession." Brianna said.

" From whom...?" ask Jesslyn.

" We are .." Brianna replied briefly.

" God, I'm getting dizzy" Jesslyn said.

" Be calm let her come .." said Brianna.

Michael was still quite far away because Brianna was outside the crowd while he was at the center of the crowd.

It took quite a while for Michael to arrive at where Briana was and suddenly there was a noble lady who stopped her steps.

" I'm sorry if we can talk Mr. Michael." said the lady.

" Of course, but not for now, miss, because I'm busy." said Michael lazily.

" It's a shame my name is Gloria Lynn are you still not interested" Gloria said in her noble style.

The smug smile on the lips behind the fan made Michael growl.

" I'm sorry Miss Lynn but your name doesn't make my busy life less, excuse me.." said Michael coldly.

Michael left the lady with his flat face. From Michael's words the lady understood that the man did not want to talk to her, and that made her angry.

Gloria looks at Michael's destination and sees the man coming at a woman. Gloria tried to get closer and gasped as she looked at the woman's face.

* Nobody can be prettier than me *inner Gloria.

The noble lady also turned around without her noticing the three people who were watching her realized her existence earlier.

" Wahhh it looks like we're going to get in trouble because of your faces..." Jesslyn.

" That little lady won't be able to hurt us." said Michael.

" Don't be so cocky you're a shitty guy." Jesslyn said.

" I'm just saying the truth." Michael said casually.

" Forgive that miss it looks like you have to say something, Michael .." Brianna said.

" Of course I'm here to ask you how I'm capable enough to work with you guys." Michael said enthusiastically.

" Wait so she'll be working with us Brianna." Jesslyn said a little surprised.

Brianna simply nodded and after that she stared intensely at Michael's eyes trying to find a lie yet nil, the beautiful bead only showed an unusually strong determination.

" Search for something ..." Michael whispered to Brianna.

" Oh, unfortunately, I didn't get it." said Brianna.

" It's a pity how I'm satisfying you." said Michael.

" I'm pretty impressed with what you did..." Said Brianna and a smile rose on her pretty lips.

Brianna turned around and was about to leave Michael who saw it tried to stop him.

" Wait ..how do you accept me...?" ask Michael.

" Do I have any reason to refuse..." Brianna said with a little look.

Michael ran and chased after Brianna who had started to move away. The man was so happy that he was now able to get close to the girl who stole his heart.

" Brianna are you sure..." Jesslyn.

" Yes, I'm sure she has no other intentions, Jess." said Brianna.

" What do you see in his eyes...?" ask Jesslyn.

" It's just an unimportant thing but it's not a lie." Brianna replied calmly.

Jesslyn frowned confused by Brianna's words but when she turned her head and saw the handsome man chasing after them she immediately understood and laughed.

Brianna who saw her best friend laughing immediately stopped and was about to ask but the girl stopped her intentions when she saw who Jesslyn saw.

" I think I know that unimportant thing..." Jesslyn smiled at Brianna.

" I hope it's not a bad thing." Brianna said.

" Of course it's not bad just like he'll be following you all the time ..." Jesslyn laughed again.

Brianna who saw her friend laughing just smiled. Michael arrives in front of Brianna.

" Why did you just leave Brianna .." said Michael.

" It's still too crowded to talk about Michael .." replied Brianna.

" So you purposely let me chase you so we can talk." Michael said.

" Take it that way." Brianna said briefly.

" Why don't you just say god." Michael said a little frustrated.

Brianna smiled and it managed to keep Michael quiet. The handsome man realized that smile was already a necessity for him.

" Okay, Michael, we'll be working together from now on you can meet us whenever you want." Brianna said later.

" I finally heard what I was waiting for." said Michael satisfied.

" And since we've been working together, I beg you to keep my trust, Michael, because there won't be a second time." Brianna said seriously.

" I don't need a second time because I'm only going to be on your side." said Michael steadily.

" I'm glad to hear it." said Brianna.

" Brianna, you have to ask her that." Jesslyn said.

" You're right Jess I almost forgot about it." said Brianna.

" Michael did anyone attack or follow you during the hunt ...?" ask Brianna.

" You know .." said Michael.

" Yes there was a fight between us Jess .." said Michael.

" Then how ..." said Jesslyn.

" ah... He's dead." said Michael casually.

" I'm guessing ..." Timpal Brianna.

" Well it seems like I'm among the crazy ones now..." Said Jesslyn who felt depressed by their aura.

" What do you mean Jess .." said Michael.

" But if you kill him we can't get any information." Jesslyn said.

" He doesn't have any important information that he knows I already know everything for what I asked him." said Michael.

" How do you really know ...?" ask Jesslyn.

" Because I've also been investigating this matter Jess .." replied Michael.

" What did you get...?" ask Jesslyn.

" Something bad." replied Michael.

" What do you mean Michael." asked Brianna.

" It's a bad Brianna problem I've got a lot of information involved in the incident and most of them are around and probably close to you guys before." said Michael.

" I also thought like that because it's impossible to do such a big thing without anyone knowing clearly the information about the light seal." Brianna said.

" This possibility scares me Brianna." Jesslyn said.

" You're right this Jess is horrible." Brianna said.

" And if my guess is right the mastermind of all this has a strong connection with you Brianna .." said Michael.

" Surely ..wahh looks like this is going to be really complicated..." Brianna smiled wryly.

" Well unfortunately you're right." Michael nodded his head.

The three of them then fell silent Brianna and Jesslyn was trying to digest what Michael said.

While Michael was thinking how to tell Brianna who made his father have to sacrifice his soul.

After quite a long time drifting in each of Brianna's thoughts was realized.

" All right, let's go back home and you should come with Michael, we'll celebrate this partnership and talk about a lot of things" Brianna said.

Michael is shocked in Brianna's implied speech that the girl knows she still wants to say things.

" Yes you're right Brianna I'm tired of standing here, too..." Jesslyn.

" Well according to your wishes I don't mind." said Michael happily.

Brianna rode on her horse followed by Jesslyn and Michael. They rode in silence because they drove fast enough to get there.

After a while riding they also arrived at Royce's mansion.

They enter and inside they meet Royce who is busy pacing around with a lot of paper in his hand.

The glasses perched on the face of the sign the man was working on his skills to deduce information from the spy he was assigned.

" Did you find something, Mr. Royce." said Brianna.

" Well as you can see and I think this is bad miss Brianna .." replied Royce.

" Of course I've guessed it's bad." Brianna said later.

" Well Royce, can you prepare a room for one more person, she's our new friend and will help us find the bright spot of the matter." Jesslyn said.

" Of course the lady is not a big thing." said Royce.

Royce calls the waiters to prepare a room for Michael.

Michael opened his cloak and the hood made the servants gasp to see his face.

" Hey why are you guys still here .." said Royce.

Royce said when he saw his servant was silent instead of doing what he told him to do.

As he saw Michael the man realized what was keeping the maids silent.

" I know this master is very handsome but he needs a bed if you guys are going to be busy laying around here." said Royce.

" Sorry, our master will prepare it soon." said the servants.

Michael who saw it just smiled while Brianna and Jesslyn just shook their heads.

" Thank you for letting me stay Mr. Royce accept this as a thank you.." said Michael.

Michael handed him a medium-sized glass bottle containing the blood of the black snake he hunted .

" In this bottle there's blood from a monster that's been alive for a very long time I think it's over 500 demon crystals." said Michael.

" Wahhh what this serious master is so valuable." said Royce very surprised.

" Yes, I don't need it." said Michael.

" Thank you .." said Royce very pleased.

" Together Mr. Royce just relax." said Michael with a smile.

" All right, we need to get dressed and start discussing the information we've already got." Brianna said.

Michael and Jesslyn nodded as well as Royce they went into their respective rooms.

Brianna's thoughts rumbled as if stressing she had to prepare for the worst.

All this time he always emphasized to be ready for anything but in reality a little fear slipped into his heart. What if he had to face the people he loved.

The big question is, is he capable ?
