Chapter 173: Clear and Present Danger

"Is this thing really going to work?" I asked skeptically while glancing down at the bracelet attached to my forearm. Not the one Aura had given me, but a new one Darah attached there earlier.

"For the nth time, it'll work," Al insisted.

I kept my eyes on the golden loops formed in patterned swirls that went around the bracelet and remembered the magical chains that were wrapped around Luca's neck.

"Luca… you sure you're good to go?" I asked.

I turned to face my brother who had a bandaged around his neck and nape which conveniently covered the magical chains that would be revealed by the rising of the sun which was coming very soon.

"No migraines and the swelling's subsided," Luca answered while giving me the thumbs up. "Besides, I want payback for that earlier ambush."

I sighed heavily. There was no use insisting Luca stay back and chill as he was even more stubborn than Edo when he set his mind to it.
