Relishing in the shock on the 4 soldiers’ faces while not letting it show on his face, Clark went closer to the leader’s desk with a constant smile on his face. Getting there, he turned a chair around and sat down calmly. “So, can we talk now?” It took more than a minute before the leader of the military base finally came back to his senses. He looked at Clark blankly for a moment, it took him another minute before he finally recovered his nerves. “You want to speak with me alone?” He asked, his voice suddenly as gentle as that of beautiful princesses depicted in fantasy cartoons. Clark secretly clicked his tongue in amusement on seeing this before he answered with a smile. “I’ll like a private chat with you, but I need your subordinate here to remain with us”. Seeing that he was pointing at Estela, the leader nodded firmly before gesturing for his other 2 subordinates to leave his office. As soon as both subordinates left, he finally had the

The sound of depressurizing air sounded as the hatch of the airplane opened up. After a high-speed long journey of 8 hours, the Radan airline plane finally arrived in the federal republic of Dakran. Just like the other travelers, Clark came down immediately with his student in tow as soon as the plane came to a stop at the airport. Due to the luxurious suits that they both wore, they quickly formed a sharp contrast with the other travelers. The others were decently dressed also, but the difference could be seen at a glance. As Clark walked along the road of the airport, he didn’t reveal any outward expression of amazement but inwardly he was already awed. Perhaps, it was just a show of wealth by the Dakran republic, but the airport scenery was so luxurious that Clark was left gaping. The first thing that became apparent to him was the sheer number of airplanes in the airport. A specialized park was made for the airplanes to stay, making for an

Knock! Knock! Hearing the knocking sounds being amplified by the hidden sound amplifiers in the apartment, Clark was finally jolted from his sleep. Reflexively looking to the side, he saw his student sleeping peacefully. As he intended to shrug and go back to sleep, he heard the knock again, this time much clearer. His eyes finally became sharp. Turning around, he quickly picked up his gold wristwatch. 04: 35: 54- pm. He was shocked, he facepalmed immediately on seeing the time. “I slept over, directly from 1 hour to 2 hours and some minutes”. Inwardly lampooning about how he slept over, he finally stood up. Quickly dipping his hand into his bag, he retrieved a light casual top which he draped on before quickly making his way to the door. “Who is it?” Opening the door, the first thing that presented itself before him was an old woman. Though she was old, she preserved her skin well as they still glowed a bit despite the coldnes

At a remote area in Southern Sparta, at one of the small towns. 2 figures walked along one of the streets of the dilapidated district. Compared to other districts in the Spartan republic, this was on a far lower level so it was not an exaggeration to call it dilapidated. The 2 figures walking were dressed in black clothes from head to toe, and they were also covered in black hoods. Their huge boots made soft thudding noises on the street as they walked across. Despite the odd dressing that these 2 people wore, the people in the surroundings hardly gave them a second look as they busied themselves with their daily activities. From the figures outlined under the hood and the clothes, it was easy to make out that it was a man and a lady who was walking across. They both kept silent like they were strangers to each other even though they walked together in perfect rhythm. On the man’s hand was a small paper figurine, he pressed it with his thumb o

Taking a deep breath, Clark stood up with a solemn expression on his face before entering the mansion while being escorted by a unit of soldiers armed to the teeth. He didn’t protest as this was the normal procedure which he already observed through watching the other lucky individuals that were called in. Yes, he called it lucky. Most of the people who came here today were bigshots in their own right but over 90% of them would go back disappointed. He felt glad as despite the ridiculousness of his introduction, being called meant that Sonia probably told her parents about him some time ago. As he was led through the luxurious garden of the mansion, he tried hard not to admire the surroundings. All his attention was focused on the man that he was about to meet. Strangely, because of his dream the previous night, he felt a lot more confident which reflected in how he walked. He didn’t even know when he got to the mansion’s main door bec
