Chapter 514: New Farming Spot

The road stretched endlessly ahead, cutting through abandoned plains where civilization had long since retreated. Their government-funded, armored transport hummed steadily as it carried Kaiden and his girls toward another remote hotspot, one of the places where the global dungeon outbreaks still hadn’t been quelled.

And this one?

This place was the rage right now.

Many awakened forums, guild chats, and alliance boards could be seen talking about it nonstop. The mountain ranges up ahead had turned into a treasure zone that was dangerous as hell, but overflowing with rewards. Something inside those peaks pulled monsters from a massive radius, dragging them out of their own dungeons and nearby areas, making them gather in one place through a means that has not been understood as of yet.

But what was clear was that it was a great opportunity as it was not just one dungeon’s creatures but dozens, all mixed together.

It made the area a nightmare for anyone weak... but a goldmine for anyone who could survive.

Some big guilds had already rushed in.

Small guilds were flocking behind them.

Even New Dawn was here, owned by the Ashborn family.

It was a war for the best loot in the country.

Why were so many guilds allowed to participate?

Well, as things were, the dungeons were owned by the Association, which then distributed them to officially recognized guilds.

When the global breaks occurred, everyone began clearing the threatening ones close to civilization, regardless of ownership, due to having the official go-ahead from the government.

But now that civilian areas were no longer threatened, guilds began lobbying to reinforce the old rules, as some of them had paid immense money for these dungeons and the monsters inside.

Well, now many of those dungeons had their monsters pulled toward here... Which meant that many guilds had a claim to being present to ’fight the monsters they bought.’

But, well, once in the action, it was hard to enforce which guild member could kill which monster; in fact, it couldn’t be, as every awakened had the right to self-defense.

Thus, a warzone was created here, a warzone of immense opportunity.

As it so happened, Nova Circuit had one of its assigned dungeons, and its monsters do just this, letting them partake. Tessa was incredibly smug about finally being useful to the gang, evidenced by her giant grin sent Talia’s way.

After all, ’them’ included the whole alliance of Nova Circuit, Runewoven, and Valhalla’s Sinners.

Aria sat beside Kaiden, resting her head against him as her gaze drifted out the window. A soft sigh escaped her.

”I miss Riven and Rae,” she murmured.

Kaiden glanced at her, at the cute pout and the quiet sadness.

Their government-assigned bodyguards had been recalled by the Awakened Association shortly after Kaiden’s team moved fully into their dungeon. Riven and Rae might’ve felt almost like family, but the truth was cruel: they were government-affiliated combatants.

High-tier, valuable ones. Their loyalties were clear, and they were not with Kaiden and the girls.

They couldn’t very well let them inside the dungeon and risk exposing their biggest secrets. And asking the twins to stand around in the area outside as chauffeurs every time the Sinners stepped outside? That would’ve been far too rude, a waste of their talents.

Grace had informed him of the recall, and Kaiden hadn’t fought it. Not because he didn’t want them around, not one bit, but because he respected them too much to have them waste their talent like this. It was better if they got new missions, letting them level up properly instead of having them stand outside the dungeon gate for days on end, doing utterly nothing.

The harsh truth was that Rae and Riven were A-tier, yes, but they were only in their level 60s. And, well, Kaiden had dozens of level 99 monsters protecting his home.

Thus, he made a hard decision, supported by his girls in full.

Kaiden gently squeezed Aria’s juicy thighs, fingers sinking into the soft, warm muscle. She reached out for his hand tenderly, gripping onto it. She wanted to feel his warmth and presence even better.

”They’ll be back,” he said with quiet certainty. ”Girls like them? They don’t disappear. They’re way too eccentric for the world to eat them up.”

Aria giggled, letting the melancholy slip away. ”Yeah... Riven running around in her lab coat and lacy undies... And Rae acting like your best bro on the couch, munching on chips...”

Nyx smiled faintly, her eyes soft.

Luna snorted a laugh.

Even Bastet allowed a small, fond smile to slip through, though she was the least friendly with the duo. Save for Calypso, of course, who basically never interacted with them.

For a moment, the car felt warmer, filled with echoes of chaos, genius, and far too much skin from the twins’ daily antics.

”We’ll see them again,” Nyx agreed. Her voice was calm but certain.

Then the space-babe flicked her pink eyes to the side and changed the subject with a ripple of amusement.

”Anyway... I’ve been thinking that the trailer thing might’ve been a bit cringeworthy for some people. But looking at the results, I have to admit I was wrong.”

Kaiden blinked.

Aria smiled slyly.

Bastet tilted her head, amused.

Luna turned so fast her seatbelt clicked.

”Cringe? What part?” Luna scoffed, affronted and proud all at once. ”If you’re talking about the final eye-opening sequence, that was pure art. It was by far the best part, a perfect conclusion to the video! Perfect pacing, flawless framing. And the synchronized blink? My masterpiece.”

Aria snorted into her hand.

Nyx bit her lip to hide a laugh.

Kaiden leaned back, a helpless smile tugging at his mouth as Luna crossed her arms, fully ready to defend every dramatic frame of her editing with her life.

Indeed, the trailer was a team effort, not just Kaiden’s creation. Nothing was, in fact. Nearly everything the Sinners did was a team effort because Kaiden knew that the whole was always greater than the individual. The girls were into the content creation business just as much as he was, fully on board and doing their best.

He even caught them watching tutorials, reading guidebooks, and discussing things in their free time. Even Bastet and Calypso joined, doing their best to be part of the team even if it all felt a bit alien to them. However, they were quickly getting the hang of it all.

All five of the women were always striving to better themselves as awakened and their group as a whole as well.

Kaiden grinned, once again reminded of how blessed he was to have met such amazing girls.

Outside, the wasteland approached.

Inside the vehicle, the Sinners were already half-prepared for battle...

And half-arguing over a myriad of things all at once.

A very normal car ride for them.
