“You will be leaving soon, right?” Isabel spoke soon after everyone finished.

“Yes, sadly. I really enjoyed my time here, if I could stay longer, I would want to. However, if I delay anymore, mother will likely come in person.” Cassie answered in a sullen tone.

“You two are always welcome to come back at any time.” Isabel spoke from her heart. While it could have been sketchy. Cassie wasn’t a pain to house. Jessica didn’t need to be spoken about. She kept to herself, yet she could see that she was no longer uncomfortable being here.

Like normal, Isabel would disappear after certain moments. Her disappearance was different from Everblood, who was missing over a month. It was unknown if he was still in the area. He would come and go randomly.

Jessica had learned that when Izic took her away from the gathering. He soon sent them to Everblood who had also left the gathering. She had seen it first hand, as he moved as if a single step could replace hundreds.

At the time she was distracted, only once a considerable amount of time passed did she realize they had been days if not weeks journey away from the gathering point. Meaning, his coming and going was on another level.

Isabel was unfathomably strong, Jessica had no doubts about that. Everblood however, seemed at a level that couldn’t be described. This mystery was likely something Jessica couldn’t figure out until she made it that far. She could only guess what exactly an Ever was, and where they stood next to graded beings.

Sitting on the bed in the guest room. She looked up at the starry night. She would indeed miss this feature. Closing her eyes, she started to meditate. By this point, she was pushing into the middle of Grade E.

She had never stopped trying to progress. Her talent was nothing to boast about. Even still, slowly stacking stones could create a giant wall. After numerous attempts, those tiny bits added together, allowing her to feel progress.

As the sun sparked the sky alight. Cassie and Jessica left for the main street.

Moving through the streets, they stopped outside a large, rare three story tent. There were two guards at the entrance, after seeing the two. They didn’t bother to check their identities or stop them.

Cassie in her normal active state waved at the two. Nodding, the two did nothing else as they continued to stand guard. After the two entered, there was a slight smile on the two’s once stoic faces.

Once inside, they were met with a large hall with a long table. At the moment, there was just a single person sitting at the table. Sharing a gaze, Jessica didn’t follow her to the table.

Seeing Cassie and Jessica, the woman sitting at the table raised an arm as the people serving her bowed before leaving.

“Are you truly leaving so soon?” A magnetic voice graced Cassie’s ears. It was a pleasant sound mixed with an alluring temptation that lingered. Filling the listener with many ideas and thoughts while looking at the woman in front of them.

Rare and exotic, inside the ocean of blue. Very small amounts of white could be seen. This was one such individual. With sharp eyes and a small nose, filling you with a feeling of easily broken and small. Her white hair and light blue eyes caused many people to stare absentmindedly.

Cassie, too, fell into a short daze. Soon after shifting her eyes away, she smiled gracefully, “Sadly, it is true.” Very quickly in a fake pouting tone, “Though I guess if you ask me nicely I might just delay and make my mother come pick me up.”

Pausing as if imagining the thought, soon the gorgeous woman couldn’t help but pale ever so slightly, “Okay, the sooner, the better.” Making a shooing motion, “Go, go.”

The two stared at each other before they broke into a light-hearted laughter. These two talked quietly to each other for a considerable amount of time. Jessica had left the room with the servants, so she couldn’t do anything but wait outside.

Inside was the person responsible for the tribe’s connection to the gambling dens. Jessica had no proof but also believed that it was also her who requested Cassie to go to which den.

While questionable, Jessica saw that Cassie seemed to lose and win randomly. Though in reality, at certain places, the wins and losses almost seemed to equal out. In the end, Cassie walked away with a very large sum without any backlash.

That was even considering the owners of these places were not someone Jessica and Saleh could protect Cassie from. Only, not only did they not attack her, they never even attempted to stop her. Watching her leave with smiles that didn’t appear fake at all.

Jessica wasn’t unfamiliar with such places. Maybe if asked before, she had come, and gone around. Coming to understand a lot about the Blue Wolf Tribe, including large tidbits of information about the animal kingdom as a whole.

Then possible she would say that it was possible they were different. Only, everything she saw pointed to that, regardless of what was inside or outside. People were people. As if all that categorized them was they were intelligent. Thus making everyone the same.

Having the most experience with the darkest parts of human society, she saw them as the worst. Blue Wolf Tribe was about what she expected of a normal human society. Without seeing the darkest parts, all she could do was put them slightly above humans in terms of their society.

Not because she didn’t believe that darkness was absent. In the end, this was because they had a closer bond with each other. As for a final ranking, in the end, they fell behind the dwarves. As far as Jessica could tell, she enjoyed them the most.

Having never met a dragon, they had no place in terms of her favorite society. Goblins was one that honestly she had no right to rank. However, she had come into contact with a very little bit, and didn’t have high hopes, believing it to be below or equal to human society.

As for elves, they couldn’t really be ranked. They were not a society, they grouped together like a group of strangers that shared a good campground. There was just no part of anything she had seen from elves to rank, as they could never be seen as a community.

A snapping sound pulled her out of her thoughts. Pulling back subconsciously, she turned to look at the owner of the hand.

“Are you okay?” Cassie’s voice rang out, a tinge of worry in it.

“Yeah.” Smiling, she walked out with Cassie.

Inside the room, the servants came back in. They stood silently to the side. Giving off a bit of an oppressive atmosphere. Only getting worse as a middle-aged man came into the room, “Was that her?”

“Yeah.”

The man was scrutinizing her face, “What did you think of her?”

A dashing smile appeared on her face as she looked up at the man, “Things are going to get very interesting soon.”
