A few walks away from the teleportation gate that would lead to the Swamp Mountains—Vesper's "mission location"—Kailen's gaze, ignoring bustling environs, towering sky scrowers, and the noisy sounds of hover vehicles whizzing through the sky from time to time, lingered on a figure standing before the teleportation gate, awaiting his arrival.
Vesper Locke: Red hair, red eyes, chiseled jawline, a handsome face, and a lean, compact physique, in a black Victorian-era kind of suit. This was his usual appearance. He dressed like this wherever he went.
The moment Kailen's gaze landed on Vesper, the time dilation artifact, hovering before him, confirmed his suspicion that Vesper was a vimodial contractor.
"Looks can really be deceiving. This guy looks like a prince charming straight out of a fairytale," Kailen could not help but mutter to himself.
The moment Vesper spotted Kailen arrive, he took the initiative to greet him.
"Ah, Alchemist Darkhaven. It's a pleasure to finally meet you!"
