FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Xia Yan, how should I put it? This time, it's all thanks to you that we were able to complete the mission together. Although we may not meet again in the future, we can still keep in touch by phone."

After a noisy morning, the four Masters, led by Craig, who had met Xia Yan in the Russian Lostbelt through a misunderstanding, entered the teleportation array to return to the safe house.

Before leaving, Craig whispered to Xia Yan alone, "By the way, regarding the Master groups you've all joined that are targeting you, Cecilia and I will no longer be involved. If you have any information you'd like to know, you can contact me privately."

Xia Yan nodded. He could feel Craig's goodwill. Even if he wasn't a member of the Master Group, having more friends meant having more options, and Xia Yan was naturally happy to have another way to obtain information.

"Here, take this back."

To the four's surprise, Xia Yan returned the teleportation orb he had previously obtained from them. This was a life-saving artifact, worth 50 Master Points each. Even though Xia Yan already had one, who would complain about having too many of these life-saving items?

"What? You don't want it?"

Xia Yan joked.

The four of them naturally wanted it, so they all reached out and took it back.

"You have kept your promise, and I will naturally reward you. However, I will not return those costumes and items; they are the price you paid for being my enemies."

Freya, who had originally wanted to ask Xia Yan to be kind and return her costume and props, could only swallow her words back.

However, given that this trial involved a Master like Xia Yan, who was comparable to a BOSS, being able to return safely and even retrieve a teleportation orb is already considered a very good result.

In fact, Xia Yan didn't have to give the teleportation orbs to the four people, but for Xia Yan, he already had two teleportation orbs, so having a few more wouldn't make much difference. Instead, returning them to the four people in front of him would reinforce his image as someone who keeps his promises and is fair in rewards and punishments. This would lay a good foundation for future cooperation with them, such as exchanging intelligence.

After watching the four leave, only Xia Yan and Augustus remained in the trial.

Augustus wiped his hands on his clothes and awkwardly extended his hand to Xia Yan: "See you again sometime."

Xia Yan was torn about whether to extend an invitation to Augustus to enter the "Lighthouse".

With Skadi's addition, Augustus's Servant lineup has been greatly enhanced, and his ability to fight large-scale battles is particularly outstanding. It is indeed an ability that none of the current Masters of "The Lighthouse," including Xia Yan, possess.

However, since his contact with Augustus was relatively short, and with only two spots remaining, Xia Yan wanted to conduct a more thorough evaluation.

He believed that as the number of Masters participating in the Master Trials decreased, the probability of the surviving Masters meeting again would continue to increase, and if they were destined to meet, they would eventually meet again.

Having made up his mind, Xia Yan did not rush to extend an invitation this time, but instead shook hands with Augustus.

"See you again someday."

After returning to the safe house, everything proceeded as usual.

Xia Yan first checked his gains from this trip.

Okay, I'll find an opportunity later to give the Origin Bullet and Magdalene's Shroud to the other people at the Lighthouse.

"Welcome back, little one!"

Sensing the noise coming from the living room, Tiamat, wearing a white apron and already busy in the kitchen, hurriedly ran over and pulled Xia Yan's head into her arms.

"Let Mommy take a good look, is the baby hurt?"

Due to the height difference, Xia Yan had to bend over and maintain a 90-degree bow. Although Tiamat's embrace felt good, his back didn't want to stay in that position.

So Xia Yan straightened up and picked up the little girl's mother instead.

"Don't worry, Master's injuries will be healed once we return to the safe house. And I really wasn't seriously injured this time either."

Tiamat was even happier when Xia Yan picked her up. She stroked Xia Yan's head and gave the other Servants around her a smug look, as if to say, "Even if you all fight tooth and nail to be my son's bride, I'm the only mother to him."

As a newcomer, Anastasia was naturally unhappy. Back in the trials, she had even dared to challenge Morgan. However, this time she had learned her lesson. She whispered to Ereshkigal beside her, "Who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?"

Ailei scratched her face, a little embarrassed, and replied, "She is Tiamat. One of the creator goddesses in our Mesopotamian legend. Right now, she's in a state of being a little too overwhelmed by maternal love."
