He looked away in sadness – he was hurt she had brought up such a matter. He didn’t want her to think he had anything against Marvin’s relatives just because they were Marvin’s relatives. You are reading on nоvelceo.com, the official source.

Danielle bitterly smiled once heard his words – such a kind man…

“Thank you”.

She placed a palm on his big sturdy hand. Scott started and blushed. He looked into her eyes, just to see the shimmering light in them, dazzling him with their beauty. His face shone in a bright smile as well, gifting the warmth back to the woman for such generosity of hers.

When the dusk fell, Scott and Danielle came out of the restaurant, having enjoyed the fancy date very much. So great was their surprise when they saw Riza, Tiger, and Fireball cross their way!

“You two were on a date!” Tiger exclaimed as if she had only just discovered the fact, “I knew it!”

“Knew what?” Scott’s cheeks flushed – damn… to think both of their daughters and even Fireball had seen them!

“You like Danielle, don’t you, Scott?” Tiger grinned in a teasing manner.

Both Danielle and Scott blushed. Scott got confused and lost-for-words, while Danielle looked at Riza, who had crossed her arms with discontent.

“Riza, what’s wrong, dear?”

“Mom, don’t you think it’s a little… too fast? I…”

“Dear…”

“I just wanted to… show her how I feel…” Scott cut into the conversation, “I guess it’s better to talk about this later. It is already too late and the Rose Cruce might start worrying about all of us. Let’s go”.

He exchanged glances with Fireball, who understood the request and turned into his dragon form. The friends sat onto his back and flew back to the Order. But so great was their surprise when, instead of the beautiful and magnificent Order building, they noticed the ruins! Once they flew down in a haste to find out what had happened they saw that only the basement had been left unharmed, and what was more, there were Edmund’s broken glasses lying.

“Edmund!” Riza dashed at the glasses, “What the heck happened?!”

“Goodness!” Scott got worried just like all the others.

Tiger pushed the basement door open and all the friends, including Fireball who had retaken his human form, rushed through the underground corridors and entered the infirmary where the light was coming from. What they saw was, every friend of theirs, severely wounded and bleeding, being treated by Nick and Nora since even the Defender Class medic Rianna was unconscious. But the news they received was even more shocking – the New World Order had kidnapped their Magister, Edmund!
