Chapter 207: Demon Mechanic (2) (1/2)

With a small hop, Ray lifted himself out of bed and walked towards the table where everyone was sat, taking a seat next to Alex who had no one to his side, a hint of subtle confidence in his steps that Moby managed to pick up on.

As Ray sat down, the atmosphere around the table suddenly became far tenser as Ray was not able to well hide his hostility and animosity towards Jason and Nags who were both only arm's length away from him. Just because they were only following their orders and were now completely harmless, loyal servants did not lessen his feelings towards them, especially after all that they had made him go through, mainly Jason who certainly did many things that went far beyond his orders just for his own personal pleasure.

Taking a deep breath, ignoring their confused, unfazed faces for now, he turned to Moby to ask him for basic training in controlling his demon energy.

Yet, before he even got the chance, Moby spoke, his voice resounding and echoing in his mind with clear power and authority which was a sensation he had never experienced or expected to ever feel as it completely caught him off guard.

”Okay, first off, I am sure that you all are confused about what my plan is supposed to be. This might take a while to explain so listen closely since we really don't have much time…”

By the looks on everyone else's faces, even including Nags and Jason, it seemed like they too heard what he had also heard, their faces turning solemn with subtle hope and expectation in their serious eyes. This made Ray come up with the conclusion that this mind communication must have been some sort of demon skill and what Moby and Alex must have used when they had first met today after he was forced to act as bate.

As Moby began his explanation, Ray decided to listen carefully to every word despite him knowing most if not all that Moby was going to say since he had already relayed him the information earlier when he had fallen unconscious. It could serve as a refresher and make him pick up on subtle details he might have overlooked.

As Moby explained his plan, the serious slits in everyone's eyes slowly became wider the more and more of it they understood, some of what he said sounding completely impossible, blowing their minds.

They all knew that it was not at all perfect, with a high risk of failure. Yet, despite all of that, in their hearts, they knew that it was their only shot they could possibly have. It was their only chance at getting Abby back, and in the worst situation, it could be used for gathering intel.

Jason and Nags also listened with intent at Moby's words, it almost seemed like he had everything completely planned out. Yet, they were still somewhat confused at some of the parts yet not questioning the wisdom of their new overlord

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed as Moby managed to exercise his leadership skills to bring everyone together from dark times, a skill he needed to no doubt perfect if he wanted to became a future king.

Jayden, who undoubtedly had the biggest, riskiest, and most important role in all of this, completely understood what Moby's plan entailed for her, and how hurt he must have been feeling that he had to put her in such danger.

She knew the dangers and made up her resolve to go through with it for Abby's sake, despite all the risks that were associated with it…

Moby could have kept such a plan to himself due to the danger it brought upon her but he was glad that he decided to share it, it made her feelings towards him grow stronger as he even further proved his faith in her.

Yet, despite all of that, there was still one glaring miscalculation…

”Hmmmm… I think I understand everything… It's very risky, but for Abby's sake, I'm willing to do anything! The only major problem I am finding is for this to work, I need to somehow be able to leave the school premises undetected. But, with the barrier up and all the guards no doubt patrolling outside, that will definitely be impossible…” Jayden said in a grave tone, saying out loud what everyone else was also thinking, once again knocking down their morale, except for Ray and Moby who still bore a posture of confidence.

”Well, that's where Ray comes in! The barrier is a piece of technology so there should be some means of bypassing it! I'm positive he could do it, he is now a demon mechanic after all,” Moby announced with a smile, raising the mood of the table once again.

They had no idea what exactly a demon mechanic was, yet seeing the confidence in Moby's words they knew that it must have been no doubt be the answer to all their problems and that Ray could somehow now allow them to bypass the school's defences.
