Chapter 120 - 120: Preparations For The Other World. [Part 1] (2/2)

”E-Eyes apparently!” Violet added, surprised.

Gray chuckled.

There was probably something bothering them, although he wanted to ask, right now they had bigger priorities.

The longer they took, the worst the situation would be. Ruby knew this which was why she had been growing impatient.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Gray turned to the officer.

”Where does that upward slope lead to?” Gray asked the officer.

”It leads outside. They've been bringing in the horned ones in ever since you've defeated the king.” The officer replied.

”I see...By the way, what's your name?”

”The name is Liam.” Said The Officer.

”Alright, Liam. What's the best way to go about doing this?”

Liam pulled out a spare card which unlocked the doors and a platinum badge from his pocket before handing it over to Gray.

”I was told to give this to you once you've arrived. With this, all officers must obey your command... No questions asked.” He spoke.

”Alright, thank you.” Said Gray as he grabbed the badge. ”Do you think you could accompany them back?” He added as he pointed at the three.

Liam adjusted his cap and nodded. He walked over to the door and pulled out another card before gesturing at the others to follow him.

They did as told and followed after him, not wanting to hold up the plan any longer.

”Gray... After all of this, we need to talk.” Said Lara quietly as she leaned towards him.

After saying so, she hastily walked away and when she did, for a single moment Gray noticed that she appeared to be slightly embarrassed at the thought of something.

'I need to tell him that if he's going to do things like that, he needs to use protection... This isn't the time to mention or think about it... But I should still let him know just in case...'

Such was Lara's thought process as she rushed away before the others realised.

”Alright?” Gray replied, wondering just what it could be.

Once they were all gone, Gray and Ruby finally got to moving.

Ruby had remained quiet, for the last few moments and just like before, Gray couldn't tell what she was thinking.

”OI! WHAT PART OF GET A MOVE ON DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND YOU DIPSHIT!? GET UP!” One of the officers shouted.

At the scene, a green haired horned one could be seen, on his hands and knees, he had tripped over and fallen. Based on the colour of the horns on his head, he was mid-rank, green.

The officer kicked at him, yelling at him to get up. Although, he looked extremely angered he held it in, slowly getting up as instructed.

But it was precisely when he got that he was tripped over again by the officer.

”Fucking rats... All of you.” He said, as he pulled his leg back to kick him in the face, once more.

As he kicked forward, swinging his head on his face. He was stopped by Gray who appeared out of nowhere grabbing his leg.

”Calm down, Ruby.”

Beside him, he was holding on to Ruby who had her first clenched up, stopped right before the officer's face.

”W-When did you...!?” Startled, the officer dropped back, landing on his butt ”Wait... Gray hair, yellow eyes... You're...!”

Ruby pulled her fist back. ”I was just trying to scare him.”

Without realising who Gray was, one of the officers blew a whistle and the other officers in the scene turned their attention to the two as they pulled out their weapons.

Before they could make a move, Gray raised his arm up into the arm, showing the platinum badge before he cleared his throat and said.

”All of you listen up. We've received orders from the president and have been given complete control over the operation. You all must obey to my every command.”

The instant they saw his badge, they stopped in their tracks and lowered their weapons.

Gray's expression grew puzzled as one by one they saluted to him.

'Was this badge really that special?'

The officer who was on the floor ahead of him trembled with his eyes wide opened as he realised just how much he really fucked up.

He got on his fours and began to apologise like his life depended on it, Gray honestly didn't blame him, it was the enemy which caused the death of many.

”It's fine, get up. Rather than that-”

Gray was interrupted as another voice called out towards Ruby from one of the cells beside her.

”Princess Ruby?”

Turning to the cell, Ruby's eyes widened.

Long snow white hair and golden irises. Wearing a slightly dirtied Yukata from mud, a beauty with dishevelled hair could be seen sat inside of the cell.

”Duchess Charlotte!?”
