Chapter 399: The Military (1/2)
”…” Theo furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the incoming group. ”Hmm…”
Agata approached him and whispered. ”Theo, they are…”
”They should be like what they said since Alea confirmed their identity. However...” Theo frowned, feeling something wasn't right.
”That's right. I believe she wants to use her family influence to make the person targeting you fear their presence. I mean, this will make them stop what they are doing in this expedition just by making them realize that the Eilric Group may appear suddenly.”
”Yeah.” Theo nodded in agreement.
”But…” Agata also added, ”Can't she understand it won't solve the roots of problems? If you are targeted like this, I doubt they will stop after this just one incident.”
”Well, I have mixed feelings about it. First of all, if you saw Alea a few months ago, you would realize she had grown up… Enough to bring tears to your eyes. But yeah, I may need to change my plan a bit.” Theo shrugged.
”What are you planning to do?” She asked.
”Hmm, with the appearance of the Eilric Family, I guess I can draw them out. Just follow me later.” Theo smirked.
”I guess someone is going to have trouble.” She couldn't help but feel excited, knowing Theo had something up his sleeve.
Suddenly, Theo pointed his finger in another direction.
There was another group of people coming out of the forest facing their direction.
”Hmm?!” Agata turned around and squinted her eyes, realizing that there was another group of twenty people.
Alea also noticed it and looked to the side, finding a group of people wearing their military uniform.
”I am Major Sam, I have brought with me my deputy and eighteen soldiers to help you.”
”Huh?” Both Agata and Alea widened their eyes, not knowing why the army reached this place.
”Theo, what did you do?” Agata asked with a dumbfounded expression.
”You want to know?” Theo smirked.
…
Two days ago.
A red-haired man watched the conversation of Theo, Xavier and Alea. However, he soon found something weird in Xavier's facial expression as if he had another plan.
It was when the red-haired man confirmed their intention and turned around, leaving the plaza where the group gathered.
Instead of wandering around, the red-haired man hurriedly made his way to the military's station inside Ark City.
It was a building next to the teleportation circle. He entered it without hesitation, finding a huge receptionist desk with a middle-aged man sitting behind it. The middle-aged man also wore a military uniform, so the red-haired man politely greeted him.
”Hello, Sir.” He smiled.
”Hmm?” The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows. ”It's rare to have someone visit this place, but you need to know we are not dealing with search and rescue, okay?”
”Yes. I would like to report an anomaly.” He shook his head and explained the reason he came here.
”An anomaly?” The middle-aged soldier straightened his back as his expression became serious. ”What kind of anomaly?”
”The anomaly is a Mutated Chimera Wolves pack. There are more than a hundred of them and I have learned that they have begun to transform into humans. I'm afraid they have killed and devoured many humans.” The red-haired man explained with a calm expression.
”Mutated Chimera Wolves…” The soldier started searching for the information and found it. However, he soon found someone entering the office and quickly stood up to greet him. ”Major.”
He saluted another middle-aged soldier whose face was very familiar to the red-haired person.
”Major Sam.” The red-haired man called his name with a surprised face.
”Hmm?” The Major frowned and tilted his head. ”Yes? Do I know you?”
