Chapter 728: Outsiders (2/2)

Raven broke out of his reverie when he felt his instincts warning him. He sharply turned around and activated his ocular technique.

”Are you sure we are going on the right direction?”

”Yes and we're getting close so stop whining!”

Raven saw a group of people travelling in the vacuum of space. He felt an instinctual aversion to them which is a sensation that everyone who's born within the Divine Realm feels when they meet an Outsider.

'I have a bad feeling about this.' Raven silently summoned the Brush of Wisdom and teleported towards the star he's in charge of.

The fact that he could see them closing in on the same star caused Raven's brow to furrow. He's really not liking this at all.

”Hey, there's somebody there!”

”I'm not blind, I can see him.”

”Be alert guys, he is an Insider.”

The people whispered to each other, feeling rather wary and worried when they heard that the guy in front of them was an Insider, they slowed down, retracted their aura and hid. They don't know that Raven can hear them loud and clear.

”You guys!” Raven called out. The people who were hiding on a nearby asteroid flinched but they didn't step out. ”I'm talking to you people who's hiding on that asteroid! I already saw you, come out.”

”Shit! He's a sharp one!” One amongst the group snarled in a low tone.

”I heard that!” Raven said which caused the group to flinch once again.

Left with no other options, the group revealed themselves. They appeared to middle-aged men, all wearing a dark velvet robes and riding a space craft which looked like a boat. Each of them had tribal markings on their left arms.

This tribal markings were a clear sign that they were Outsiders.

Their space craft slowly approached Raven who flew out and stood between them and the star. Once they were a few meters apart, Raven said:

”Greetings, Outsiders.” Raven said in a gentle tone. ”May I know the reason why you gentlemen appeared here?”

The group was silent. It was obvious that they are wary of Raven even with his mild tone. The gripped their weapons tightly and was prepared to fight at the first sign of conflict.

”We're Outsiders...” One of them stepped forward and replied, ”This is the border of the Outer Worlds. It shouldn't be a surprise that our kind will appear here. That question is, why are 'You' here? Are you lost? You're far from home, young man.”

”Thank you for your concern, Sir. However, I am not lost. I am here under the orders of my superiors. I am currently in charge of this star behind me.” Raven replied, still gentle and polite.

The Outsiders looked at each other. Raven can tell that their communicating through voice transmission but he didn't pry or interrupt them.

”Pardon us for not easily believing that, Young Man. You're gonna have to show us some proof of your claim. Otherwise, we can only ask you to step aside since our Lords had taken fancy to that star.”

”You are already looking at the proof, Gentlemen.” Raven said with a thin smile on his lips, ”Do you believe that an Insider like me will venture this far out to the home, alone,  just because I feel like it? Trust me, Gentlemen. If I had a say to this, then you'll never see me here.”
