311 Coercion and Abduction, Someone in the Shadows Throwing the Net to Haul in the Fish (2/2)
Umbra waved his hand around his body in an exaggerated motion.
Blood was spilled.
The bodies of the nearest soldiers aiming towards Umbra fell down as their heads separated from their necks. More than a dozen soldiers fell down in one sweep.
”Yo-you! Men! Shoot!”
Major Lopez shouted towards the remaining soldiers surrounding the hooded man.
SPLASH!
The hooded man did not move as if letting the soldiers shoot him but not a single gun was fired. All of the soldiers that was about to pull their trigger of their guns fell down lifeless instead. Behind their lifeless bodies were four more hooded figures that seemed to have come out from the shadows emerged.
Everyone was frozen in fear. Well, at least, there were two people who seemed unfazed.
”Is it possible that even negative emotions are rejected?”
Umbra murmured as he turned his head towards their target. Still, he found it strange that the eight year old child beside her seemed to not show any sign of fear either.
”Lady, we are here to fetch you.”
Umbra said as he approached in slow strides.
Hearing that, Odelina hurriedly stood in front of Mei wanting to protect her.
”Stay away! The young miss can't be touched by the likes of you!”
Odelina bellowed but Umbra was not paying any attention to her at all.
”Our Great God had taken a liking to you. It should be an honor to you who is a mortal.”
Umbra continued to speak to Mei.
”And what if I decline?”
Mei asked.
”Then, your beloved daughters will be harmed. I don't think that you will want that at all.”
It was a cowardly approach but mostly effective. He could see the eyes of their target waiver.
He showed his prowess first by killing the other soldiers and showed his subordinates and their capabilities at the second time. With that kind of display, it would be impossible that their target would not fall into the trap they laid.
”Young Miss, don't listen to them.”
Odelina spoke with great determination. It seemed that she would not hesitate to sacrifice herself if needed to. It was all to protect Mei, Iola and Abbygale.
Also, it seemed that not only Odelina but the others were also getting ready to fight. Especially Mark's friends, just what face could they give him if they let Mei taken away in front of them?
To everyone's surprise however…
”Everyone, stand down.” She looked at Umbra without a shred of fear. ”I will go.”
”Young Miss!”
”Odel, stand down. This is an order.”
Mei said with a serious tone. She then kneeled down and patted the head of Abbygale who started to tug on her pants with worry.
”Don't worry. Mama will be back, alright?”
Tears suddenly formed in Abbygale's eyes. After all, it was almost the same situation where her real mother left her for her to be safe.
Mei hugged Abbygale with a gentle expression. She then turned to Iola whose expression seemed to be calm and unaffected.
”Iola, I'll be back, take care of your sister.”
”Yes!”
To that scene and the words Mei uttered, Stalker tried spoke with ridicule.
”Return? What return? You…”
The raspy voiced man was not able to finish his words as he was glared by almost everyone in his team.
Mei then turned away from her daughters bringing her weapons.
”Lady, you won't need those things anymore. It is better to leave them.”
Umbra spoke with respect. Their Great God was interested in this woman, it would not be wrong to say that she could be their future queen.
Mei then shrugged her shoulders and handed her weapons to Odelina and approached Umbra up to a certain distance.
Seeing the Mei was ready, Umbra signaled for his female subordinate to take Mei away.
Under everyone's eyes, Mei and the female hooded figure sunk into the shadows and vanished. The werewolf and the large bird also left along with the other hooded figures.
Those that were able to follow the direction the bird flew and saw it flying towards the Control Tower of the airport. Major Lopez was in remorse, he let someone important get caught in front of him. However, it was according to Mei's will who volunteered to come with them for the safety of her daugthers. Nevertheless, the Major was still at a loss similarly with everyone here that witnessed the situation.
Aside from one child who was hugged her little sister. While no one was able to hear clearly, she whispered in the air.
”Your Maj- Papa, they already took Mama.”
She then felt an invisible pat on her head.
”Don't worry…”
Iola heard as the hand on her head vanished.
