Chapter 57 - Prelude To Ascent

He walked straight to the Dragon Guild building as the eleventh floor was going to open in a few hours.
In front of the building he saw Becca pacing the entrance while Hunter Ming sat on the stairs leading up to the door of the building.
Becca had her arms crossed and the new sword on her hip, as if she was going to clear a gate but then she saw him walking towards her.
"You…you're late. Took your sweet time," she muttered. Then she glanced at him more carefully.
"You look…different." Her voice was back to normal and her anger dissipated as if it was never there.
"Do I?" Xior asked flatly.
Becca didn't answer, she only stared in his eyes. Xior felt his tone was harsh towards her, he pressed his lips together and walked closer to her.
