( What was that strange feeling? Was I afraid, no, I was angry and little disturbed, as if I saw my innate enemy, but there was nothing there! This is very strange... And more than that, why didn't I experience that feeling when I was inside the city after all that mountain was visible from there too. Why exactly now? And even the master who was looking in that direction, for sure this isn't just a coincidence, there is definitely something there, something dangerous...) While waiting for Adam to appear, Rin was still feeling a sensation of uneasiness. Was still immersed in many thoughts and answered questions.
After waiting for a while, a circular dimensional portal finally appeared in front of the tree. Then, immediately after the appearance of the portal, an old man with a serious and stern expression on his face, wearing a long robe, walked out.
"Did I keep you waiting too long, sir?" Adam asked with the same serious expression he always had on his face.
"Adam, did the dungeon show any abnormal changes lately?" asked Fray directly, ignoring Adam's question.
"The dungeon! No, we haven't noticed any changes in the dungeon since the day you left," Adam said, before curiously asking, "Why are you asking?"
"Change the direction of the portal, take me to the nearest dimensional portal to the port of Iskar city," Fray said in a serious voice, and as he approached the portal.
Adam, like all members of the group, could not know what Fray was thinking or what he wanted to do, but upon seeing that Fray did not intend to explain, he just decided to obey his orders and change the destination of the portal, which was the Parada family mansion originally, to the port city of Iskar, where Fray asked to go.
"Alright, sir, the portal is ready," said Adam, opening the path for Fray to enter the space portal.
After taking Adam's confirmation, Fray entered the dimensional portal, and his presence completely disappeared from the area, before the group followed him one by one.
Thus, as soon as the group members came out of the gate, they felt the refreshing ocean breeze, and then looked around to find themselves standing on the roof of one of the buildings that overlooked the vast calm ocean that was full of vitality and movement caused by hundreds of fishing ships of different sizes and thousands of people scattered all around the harbor, each doing their own activities, living their own lives, all with smiles on their faces. Just looking at this atmosphere made the group, including Fray, feel an inner comfort to return to the environment they had always been accustomed to, especially seeing the smiles of the citizens of Iskar, which had become rare to see in the past years.
"What do you want to do now, family head?" Adam asked curiously as he looked at Fray
"Let's go visit Giam," Fray answered calmly as he looked at the not-far-away white building that was overlooking the ocean which was made up of many different facilities, and on the tops of the building there was a blue flag fluttering with the wind. This building is the headquarters of the Iskar City marine troops, which is commanded by one of the Parada Family Council members, Giam Parada.
Fray and the others descended from the rooftop of the building they were on and merged into the crowded street, where it didn't take long before the residents who had lived in Iscar City all their lives recognized the most famous character in the city, who, although he did not appear in public much, became famous due to the newspapers and the rumors which were always calling his name, which is the character of Fray Parada, the young head of the Parada family and the leader of the city of Iskar.
"Wait that... It's him for sure, the mayor of the city, Mr, Fray Parada."
"What!? do you mean the current head of the Parada family?"
"Yes, I have seen his picture before in the papers. He looks just like he and the people walking by his side are very powerful. There is no doubt about that. He is really the head of the Parada family..."
"This can't be, the Lord of the city is here!!.."
The people whispered among themselves in low voices and different tones of fear and shock and disbelief, and there were even people who talked with tones of joy and respect. Whatever feelings people felt towards Fray, when they saw him in front of them, they had no choice but to step aside to the sides of the street and open the way for Fray and his group to pass.
Thus, ignoring the whispers and the glances of the residents, Fray, and the group continued their way, heading to the marine troops building, which Fray could already see, as it took Fray and the group only minutes to reach the building using the passage that the crowd opened on the way.
The guards who were standing after noticing Fray's sudden arrival and realizing his identity bowed slightly and then said in a respectful voice as they opened the door, "Welcome to the marine base, sir."
Through the gate opened by the guards, Fray entered the building, then Adam and the others followed him from behind, heading towards Giam's office, but before they reached the office, suddenly Giam came out of one of the corridors with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Sir!?..."

"Sigh, so he left again," Luke said, leaning back in his seat with a disappointed expression on his face
"Yes, they told me he came out of the city walls a few hours ago," said Lisa in a calm voice.
"So what do we do now? Do we have to go back to Iskar City again?" Aslan
Asked puzzled as she looked at Luke.
"Actually, I have other news," Lisa said in a soft voice before Luke could answer, "Fray has supported the Third Princess Zina in the succession battle again."
After hearing Lisa's sudden words, Luke suddenly felt a heavy and surprising feeling that made him ask in shock, "What!? When did that happen?
