  On the road of the wastelands, Valirion and Cinder's drove the truck while Maks and Sheyla on the back in the middle of the dune. Myke and Jug plays chess at the backseat, Ronald and Sam argue which team will win in Hosh arena and Tela just listen to her music.

  "Think of it, Myke," Jug said.

  "What?"

  "If...what I mean if...you move your queen to this position, what would you think will happened?" Jug grinned.

  Myke looks at the board with his pieces army, and thought longer. "There's no other chance for my queen to survive after the check," Myke said.

  "EXACTLY!! HAHA!" Jug then took Myke's queen, when suddenly Myke said 'Check'. "What do you mean check?"

  "Don't you see something you missed?"

  As Jug analyse, he gaslight for Myke's strategy. "WHY DID I MISSED THAT BISHOP?!"

  "You have two other options," Myke shrugs.

  Then Jug use his bishop, then Myke said check.

  He used Bishop, no checks, but then Myke proceed attacking Jug with his rook and Checkmate. Jug went speechless. "That's what we call zugzwang, Jug," he said as he was about to take a nap.

  Meanwhile, Ying and Kana were having a conversation together. Both of them forgave each other for the previous thing they had.

  "Well, you know...AyLex just wanna be like his brother for some reason," Kana said.

  "Well, at least it's not a big deal anymore," Ying said and Kana agreed.

  Then, quietness between both of them where there's nothing to talk about. They look around, watching Ronald and Sam wrestle out of the blue.

  "KNOCK IT OFF BACK THERE!!! AIN'T GOTTA PAY SOME BROKEN THINGS AT THE RENTAL WITH THY'S HOOLIGAN WRESTLING BACK THERE!!" Tela shouted.

  "Well...I have something to say about you, Ying," Kana said.

  Ying turn to her and ready to listen.

  "You know, after Ming cover me with her coat, and your necklace you gave me...it feels like...I never have those things before..."

  "Why's that, Kana?"

  "Well...I never have those in my past. I'm...just wanting attentions. I just want everybody to acknowledge me," Kana lower her head. "But everything I did...never knew it's my consequences to me," Kana said.

  Ying hold her hand as she understand her. "You know you have always get a second chances,"

  "Sometimes second chances may not be a redemption you know?" Sam interrupts.

  "Well, everybody made mistakes. We can't blame them for what is happened," Ying said. Soon, Kana smiles as she believes in it.

  As they arrived to Daen, all of them unmount the truck and proceed to the tavern. And suddenly Ying felt someone, and as she glance her eyes, a tall presence passed by. "Thalulah?" Ying whispered.

  Then, it response, looking at her and smile with her eyes. Aiko. She waves her hand to Ying as she's with her new team. "Guys I'mma head somewhere,"

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  "Where you go?" Kana asked.

  "Someone I've met before," then Ying rushed to Aiko.

  As she arrived, she a small white hair girl ready to smash her. Ying immediately lunges back as it hits the ground with a heavy hammer. As she was about to smash again, Aiko grabs it on mid air.

  "Oh, sorry for my subordinate, she's kinda aggressive when she saw a stranger," a man said as he lend his hand to Ying. As she's about to reach, Myke grabs her instead.

  "No worries, my friend. " Myke said.

  Ying stunned as Myke hold her hands and helped her to stand up. "Are you okay?" Myke asked.

  "Y-Yeah...uh...I'm okay."

  As Ying tidying herself, she saw the man also shocked just looking at Myke. "M-Myke?!"

  "Yes?"

  "You must be Valirion's leader! The Legion of Architects!" he said excitedly.

  "Uh.." Myke scratches his head as he heard the man called him.

  "So you guys wanna brawl? Requesting to fight? I'm eager to!" he said. "Oh by the way, I'm Jhames!"

  "Myke Y. Yarh."

  "And what's your wife's name?" Jhames asked, referring to Ying.

  Ying once again stunned to his words, until Myke said. "She's my teammate, Yingli F....uhh..."

  "Yingli F.M. Hesky, and no we're not here to fight haha..." Ying said nervously. "I was meeting with my friend, Aiko," she said, and finger wave at her Aiko and she waves back too cutely.

  "Oh...I see...wait. You two related?"

  "Well.."

  Then Aiko put her fingers to Jhames and said Ying is her adopted daughter. "Oh! I see. Well then, nice to meet y'all!"

  "Hey! Wait. Aiko, Do you saw Hennah anywhere?" Ying asked.

  Aiko nodded, and pointed to the direction.

  "Great! Then this place is the one she landed first!"

  "Like she loves Daen's Ghar and Shein of course..." Myke said while pinching his nose bridge.

  "So you guys wanna find Hennah?" Jhames said.

  "With Ming too!" Ying said.

  "Wait...hold on the sec!" a bearded man approach to them. "Are you Hennah's friends?" he said.

  "Yes? And who are you?" Ying said.

  "And her husband?"

  "Husband? Hennah never mentioned us about her marriage before." Ying said. She turned to Myke, he shrugs.

  Then Jug approach to them as he found them with Aiko. "There you are...been searching for you two!" he said.

  Then a bearded man approach to him and kick his croutch. Jug then scream in pain. "WHY DON'T YOU BE WITH MY DAUGHTER!" he yelled.

  "H-HOSHIN C. HOLFEN?!" Jug muttered.

  "OH YEAH HOSHIN C. FUCKING HOLFEN OF COURSE! AND I ASKING YOU WHY DON'T YOU BE WITH YOUR WIFE!?"

  "SHE JUST LEFT TO SEARCH MING YOU GOD DAMN OLD MAN!!"

  "OH DON'T YOU KNOW WHY I ASKING YOU, SOFT HANDS WITH A SMALL BRAIN OF YOU BIG FLESH?!"

  Ying confused and Myke too. "Well...I do believe that's Hennah's father..." Myke said.

  "Isn't he the founder of Hosh?" Ying asked and Myke nodded.

  "WHY, GRAMPS!!"

  "BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SON!! IN HER BELLY!!! AND YOU AS A FATH-"

  "WAIT HOLD ON A SECOND!!"

  As the night of Derla, both Team Rose and Team Ash, Aiko's new team were in the tavern, Hoshin stare at Jug.

  "Honestly...I don't know I knocked her up actually..." Jug said.

  "Oh so you saying it's an accident after all your marriage with my daughter?!"

  "I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A GIMMICK AT FIRST!!"

  [4 years ago]

  "Trust me Juggy boy...This is the only way for us to get outta my village," Hennah whispered with her outfit of tribal wedding.

  "But it seems too real to be like this! Don't you ever think of this is for real," Jug said.

  "Oh come on, soft hands! Think this is just a gimmick! They wouldn't know,"

  "Okay?"

  "GOOD! AND AFTER WE GO OUT, WE DIVORCED IMMEDIATELY!! I PROMISE!"

  "Do you think Hennah will say that think?" Hoshin asked.

  "Well...yeah, with her own mouth,"

  "Then..." Hoshin took out Aiko's book and open the part where Hennah is carrying a child. Jug then stunned as he sees it.

  Ying, Myke and other teammates suprised of the revelation of Hennah's father gave.

  "I...I mean..."

  "Jug...is it true?" Ronald asked.

  "Well...yeah? But I thought-"

  "Enough of your gaslights! I wanna know why you left her like that!"

  "I DON'T KNOW, SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE HAD A SON OF MINE EITHER!!"

  "Well fair enough..." Hoshin's tone shift.

  "What?" Jhames confused.

  "Well, I used to hide Hennah from my previous wife, because she's not from Holfen anyways."

  Ying then steps in and asked Hoshin. "So you're saying, she's not related to Holfen?"

  "Well..." Hoshin looked at Tela then went back to Ying. "Her real name is Anna C. Lesta...and I'm not Holfen too. I'm Hoshin C. Lesta,"

  "Gosh...dad...you should've told me that too about Hennah!!" Tela shouts.

  "I'm sorry, but...Hennah is...somehow precious to me,"

  Then Aiko snap her finger for attention. And they look at her. "Now it's not the time for family gathering. We have something to deal first," she gestured her fingers.

  "What do you mean?" Jhames asked.

  "We have something to deal with the false believers,"
