A spiral. Its nickname was 'Spiral of Trends'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, a very famous clothing brand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How come I'm hearing it only today?' Varian thought, but didn't say it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Varian experienced the most excruciating three hours of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was trying desperately to not extend those three hours into four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is good already.\" Varian said in protest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Change!\" Sarah shook her head and said in an irrefutable tone. She sounded like an instructor deciding to ignore the cadets' pleas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, it was the same situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was enthusiastic in the first ten minutes. Then everything felt like hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah! Just let this end!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian sighed and tapped on his comm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white shirt, black vest and pants on his body were instantly replaced by a another white shirt, black vest and pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the difference? It's the same thing!\" He cried out, looking at the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there's difference!\" Sarah shook her head vehemently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She compared the last combination to the current one. Then she did the heartbreaking move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\" Varian hung his head in frustration and tapped on his comm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hologram covering him changed and Sarah's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white blazer above a black v neck T-shirt, and black pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no difference.\" Varian said numbly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ok. The color changed. But does it really matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I pity your wife.\" Sarah said in genuine exasperation. \"Your aesthetic sense might really kill her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shot back. \"And I pity your husband. Mark my words, you'll kill him with this shopping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah puffed her cheeks and looked at him. \"Wanna fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian stepped closer to her, and looked into her eyes aggressively. \"No way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The-…eh? W-Wait, I thought you were going to fight!\" Sarah's voice sounded, mixed with confusion and surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking the store employee to pack the dress, he smirked at the pouting Sarah. \"Did you really think I'd pick a fight? Heh. Jokes on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he tapped on his comm again and the hologram clothes were gone, leaving him in his camouflages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian ignored any further 'advice' of Sarah to buy another set and checked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fricking 60,000 karma points for the dress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the income of an average person for a year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was rich, Varian wondered if he was splurging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should actually a buy a few more sets. 10 would be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to die. Besides, where is yo—\" Varian suddenly turned out and looked at the twenty third floor of the glass building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was a glass that prevented others from seeing what was inside. So, Varian could see nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't care and dashed to the twenty third floor on stairs in a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused his senses and searched the vast floor, spanning a mile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just an illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's shoulders slumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sarah's worried face, he felt guilt. \"I'm sorry, I…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you aright?\" She was already wielding her sword, and looked around for enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you.\" He smiled wryly. \"I felt that there was…someone watching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. He was sure it was her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sia was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah raised her brow. \"You too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Varian looked at Sarah in surprise as the latter closed her eyes and pointed her sword in a direction. A heavy pressure descended on the floor as her sword started shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyaa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terrorists!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Order!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The store was soon in mayhem\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was very, very faint. So, I thought I was mistaken.\" As Sarah finished, she slashed down her sword at one of the escaping members, an old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes widened but he trusted Sarah and held back his impulse to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old lady disappeared and a dagger shot at Sarah's slender neck at breakneck speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Bunch of rats!\" Sarah said in contempt and dodged the dagger. But it cut off a strand of her hair, and broke the wall behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's breath halted as he the old lady, who was now a man in all black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the heck is this guy?\" Varian mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an oppressive pressure from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure from a peak level 6!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building suddenly shook and Varian saw tens of thousands of hover cars flying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones which didn't make in time were caught up in the explosion that destroyed the foundation of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah appeared in front of Varian and said. \"I've informed Aunt Anna. She'll be here in 30 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30 seconds sounded nice on paper. But 30 seconds of level 6 fighters might as well be an hour of fight for unawakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Still how did they find me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her who insisted that only two of them go shopping. But technically, no one should know it's her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was wearing a mask, disguising her identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian, that guy is Space Awakener. So if you stay away from me—\" Sarah stopped abruptly and lashed out her sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sword broke through the dagger that suddenly appeared behind Varian. The man disappeared from behind and Varian felt the space tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\" With a snort, Sarah's water mana followed by a brutal punch broke through solid space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah stood guiding him, her face pale and blood flowing from the corner of her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at the ground and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things proceeded properly, Sarah would be able to hold off the man for 30 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though their battle would raze the floating estate to ashes, everyone on the island already left, save for the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So all he needed was to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more people in all black appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Order…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snakes of lightning, a devastating punch and an unstable space swarmed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"V-Varian…\" Sarah grabbed him tightly. \"They came for me, you…teleport.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shook his head, his eyes turning cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the three assassins and a bright light flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1029,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","00234bac4a31001317422c5a9245d461b4e344563b7de1ecf1ad4c210b9173cb","divine-path-system-chapter-395","divine-path-system-chapter-247",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
