Asad pursed his lips and frowned. "It's not here anymore, though. Could they have taken it?" Asad sighed and cursed. "Without it, how can we teleport that girl straight to our lord?"
Eoi surveyed the surrounding with a calm face. He was not one bit worried about it and said, "I think one of them has it."
Asad looked at Eoi with a doubtful face. "Why aren't you worried?"
Eoi sighed and looked at Asad like he had no brains. "Think about it. Even they use it or accidentally triggered that space crystal, either way, they will end up in our lord's hand."
Eoi licked his lips. "Rather, I, for one, wanted them to activate it."
