170 The Aftermath of the Sydicates Fall (1/2)

Day 6 – 2:47 PM – Multi-Purpose Clubhouse, Citta Italia, Molino III, Bacoor City, Cavite

”Sir, is it really fine to let him do that?”

One of the younger soldiers asked Major Lopez after Mark and his group left leaving two trails of blood on their path from the two bodies Emika bound in her vines.

The Major on the other hand replied another question.

”What do you think Rael?”

”It's against the law?”

Private Rael replied.

To the young soldier's reply however, Major Lopez shook his head.

”If it was six days ago, you're right. Now however, the country's law could only apply inside the settlements the government founded. Here outside, we are all equals. Only those who have strength can dictate the rules here.”

Not only Rael heard that but other soldiers too making them fall into contemplation. Major Lopez patted the young soldier's shoulder.

”You all needed to adjust. Besides, you all heard what happened. None of these people are innocent. That Chameleon only received what he deserved. It's an issue between their groups and we don't have the right to interfere as long as our side was not implicated in any way. Actually, I won't have any qualms if he killed all these trash. We'll have less useless people to feed that way.”

The nonchalant attitude the Major had in his voice when he sentenced the members of the syndicate to death made everyone around that heard him reveal troubled expressions. Even though he had a point, many of them still felt that it was unnecessary.

The Major then clapped his hands taking everyone's attention.

”Stop thinking about unnecessary things! We still have things to do! We need to leave this place before dark or none of us will see the sun tomorrow!”

Major urged everyone to efficiently use the time they had to prepare. Furthermore, there was still the need to bring the hostages here and prepare to leave. Those people held by the syndicate might not be in good shape for travelling but none of them had the choice if they wanted to survive. Probably, just hiding in some place as the large horde passed by might possibly save some people but the opposite could also be possible.

Another thing they needed to do was…

Think of what to do about Jumper who did nothing in the whole fight and surrendered without qualms afterwards. None of them knew what was going on in the mind of this man.

”Odel, you tell Carlo to fetch his sister.”

Mark said as they watched the vehicles that left before return. With what happened earlier, it was impossible that the people inside that van in front of the clubhouse did not see everything. Given that, Carlos's sister would surely not go with them even if they said that they knew her brother. It would be better if Carlo was the one to face his sister.

”Emika, cover the bodies tightly, we don't want Janette and the other one to go crazy.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Mark turned towards the little dryad.

”Okay~!”

”By the way, you slipped out didn't you? Your mother is angry.”

Emika did not reply but her face paled. She looked at Mark and noticed something.

”Nee~ Uncle. Isn't that heavy?”

She pointed at Mark's back. There, the oversized beetle was still latched on his back.

”Not really. It's kind of itchy though.”

Mark replied before knocking on one of Fein's legs and made the beetle go down from his back. At the beginning, he wanted Fein to become as a means of escape if he was suddenly besieged by the three Mutators at the same time while Abbygale and Odelina were not able to aid him. However, the third Mutator did not attack at all while the other even severely injured their leader. Even though he said all those words when Chameleon berated him, Mark knew that Jumper had no plan to join the fight at all.

The only thing the beetle had been a help for was directing the sneak attack Chameleon tried to make. Though it was not impossible to do even without Fein, it became easier since more than half of his back was blocked by the beetle making the areas Chameleon could attack very limited.

Finally, the other vehicles arrived and stopped in front of them. Mark nodded to Odelina to tell Carlo the news. Hearing that his sister was actually here, Carlo did not waste any time and set off with Sundra to check. Carlo's face did not look happy though. He would rather not see his sister here. It was not because he did not want to see her but finding any of his family members here could simply mean a bad news afterwards.

While Carlo went to look for his sister, Mark was thinking of what he should do with the bodies of these two Mutators. He could either store the ability of one since he only had one empty Physical Crystal left and feed the other one to either Janette or...
