Liam raised his brow in surprise, but he did not push her away. He knew what Alex was really worried about and why she was a nervous wreck even though she was still portraying her strength outside.

"Mia will be back soon. She can handle herself." He patted her and reassured her. "In the meantime, now that you have your new savior status, you can ask around about Mia in the divine temple. You can even ask the same high priestess."

"I tried doing that already." Alex sobbed. "She says she is not aware of anyone like that. She speculated that Mia was on a special mission and thus her identity was temporarily concealed. I am not convinced. I feel like they are hiding something."

"Hmmm. I also think that is the case." Liam frowned. He didn't care so much that Mia was not able to send any messages or communicate with them. This was most likely due to the fact that she, like him, was in a special, locked region or new territory.

However, the thing that bothered him was that she did not even log out once after that. She should have at least been able to do that. But just like Derek, she was also missing.

"Divine temple… maybe I need to pay a visit," Liam muttered to himself.

He had been avoiding that area because of his special nether affinity. He already knew how the divine temple would react to him because the demons had recognized him as a friendly player.

If he visited the divine temple or any of the higher-ups in the divine temple, he might end up doing more harm than good. He would probably get arrested even for stepping in.

However, now Liam had to take this chance. There was simply no other way.

It had been too long since Mia was gone, and with the divine temple involved in arresting the draconian princess, he wanted to probe that group more. Maybe they had more secrets.

But still, it was best not to get involved directly. He would have to take help from Alex and the other guild members in this endeavor. While Liam was debating what to do, a loud knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up to see Shen Yue standing at the doorstep. For some reason, she seemed to be staring at him a little weirdly? Hmmm? Only then did he notice that he was still hugging Alex.

Beating him, Alex pushed him away first, her face fully flushed red. She then mumbled something inaudible and ran out of the hall.

This girl! Liam shook his head helplessly. Thanks to her, now the entire thing looked very suspicious while all he did was innocently comfort the woman since she was crying. Was he in trouble now?

"Hey." He awkwardly cleared his throat and waved at Shen Yue who was still looking out the direction Alex had run away.

"Is she okay?" Shen Yue walked in with a worried look on her face.

Liam was surprised for a moment as he had expected a completely different response from her. He did not know much about women but this much was common sense. However, Shen Yue still defied his expectations.

"She looked like she was crying. Is she okay?"

Liam smiled and pulled her closer. "I missed you." She was the kindest person he had ever met in both his lifetimes combined.

Shen Yue blushed with a secret smile on her face, happy to be greeted this way but she quickly snapped out of it as she had come here to find Liam for something important.

"I heard you formed a mana core, how did it go?" Liam asked.

"That. Yes. It went very well. Thanks for giving me that Body Cleansing Elixir. Ummm... I have something else I want to share with you. I suddenly received a quest a couple of hours ago."

This was why she was here in the first place and she quickly explained the quest to Liam.

"Escort the princess of Gresh Kingdom to the corrupted temple?" Liam frowned. Since when did Gresh Kingdom have a princess?

As far as he knew, there was only that wimpy guy who was the crown prince before and now the current King after the previous King had passed away.

Liam was also not particularly fond of the guy. For some reason, the King hated him and was always rude in all their interactions despite him being a Duke of the Kingdom.

"What do you think, Liam? Is this quest important? I know you asked me to focus on my skills, technique, and leveling up my legendary daggers but this is a Kingdom quest so I think it could be important."

"I agree with you. Hmmm. Let's see. We have several positions from which we are fighting against the beast horde. How about you fight with the group near the royal palace? That way you can keep an eye on things and if any Princess comes your way."

"Ok." Shen Yue nodded in agreement and then quickly asked, "You will also be there?"

Liam smiled and shook his head. "Unfortunately, I won't be anywhere near the main cities. Sorry."

"Oh, then are you planning to fight in the guild residence?" Unlike the other guild residences which are located in the city, theirs was smack dab in the middle of the forest so it was a little hard to guard against the beast horde.

Everyone would be focusing on the cities as hunting beasts there gave more points and automatically all the guild residences within the city would be protected. However, Crimson Abyss had to specifically protect their guild on their own.

Thankfully, they were an S-Rank guild so no one was worried about this particular issue. Nevertheless, it was a good place to attack the beast horde without being disturbed by others and without a lot of competition.

But surprisingly, Liam still shook his head. "I have a special spot in mind." He said with a mysterious smile.

Shen Yue could tell that he was planning something. She smiled and tip-toed to place a kiss on Liam's cheeks. "Please take care."
