Bandits

Laden didn't know Ace's true speed because Ace was confident of reaching Zander City within seven days if he didn't stop.

'I should start my journey today!' Ace was too excited to wait for a day or two and chose to leave the lane town at the very moment since the time was limited and he can always rest after reaching the destination. He only has six months!

"Sir, thank you for giving me this valuable information." Javier thanked Laden as he places a transparent green qi stone on the counter with a meaningful smile on his face. 

There was a much larger qi fluctuation emitting from this qi stone because this was a low-level qi stone!

Laden left a good impression on Ace, so he gave him a low qi stone to show his goodwill.
