Lex Cross's deep, cool voice reached Flora Bloom's ears. For some reason, hearing it gave her an instinctive sense of security.
The man in white glanced at Flora Bloom. His eyes darted about as a thought seemed to strike him.
"Fine, take it. Just don't let me see you again!" He produced a golden stone and tossed it to Lex Cross before turning to Flora Bloom. "Human, you owe me one for this, you know!"
The man in white gave Flora Bloom a flirtatious wink. The next instant, he transformed into a surge of black energy that shot into the nearby zombie horde and vanished.
Flora Bloom was still pondering the phrase 'you owe me one' when Lex Cross handed her the stone.
The moment the golden stone appeared, Flora Bloom had sensed an exceptionally rich Gold Element energy emanating from it. Furthermore, its energy signature and appearance were incredibly familiar—it was a fragment of the Energy Baryte her space required!
